    Trying to find relevant information that’s supposed to be in a Discord server is one of the most hair-pulling aggravating experiences I’ve ever had on a computer. I mean seriously, any aspiring software developer of any kind should outright feel ashamed if they are relying on Discord for anything related to their project. Code repository sites are free, made for that purpose, and already offer everything necessary for collaboration. If communications are necessary, that’s what email is for - everyone has it already.

    And yeah I also hate the over-dependence on Facebook. If a companies “site” is their fb page, they don’t get my business.

    These things are successful not because they’re good. It’s because they’re easy and convenient. That’s the biggest thing we need to keep in mind when it comes to alternatives.

      Ugh yea I have thought about trying to get away from FB, but a few years ago I moved to a more rural area than I was before and it’s incredible how many places -the regional dump among them - don’t have a website it’s just Facebook pages if you want info like if theres closures due to weather or operating hours.
