EDIT: I don’t like the term ‘soy boy’, just picked ‘soydev’ for a lack of a better word, intending to use it semi-ironically.

recently I saw a project move PR discussions to discord, like what’s the point of using a git forge at this point, you can as well just use git send-email

    “Searching past information is pretty easy” except for the fact that you have to apply filters to each search, by default it searches in every channel (instead of the channel you are on) and just puts all the answers together (grouped by date, not channel).

    I’ve even encountered the problem of their search servers being down (less than a year ago).

    Not to mention that you have to have an account and you have to be in the specific server you want the answer from, which is not trivial since you also need to know that the information you search for is in a discord server to begin with.

      not to nullify your argument, but if you press Ctrl+F it searches that specific channel.

      Don’t forget that when you join a server you may have to answer a bunch of stupid onboarding questions.
