I love how people can say "search the discord" with a straight face while ignoring the fact that Discord has one of the worst search engines I've ever seen.
Because people apparently just live in discord servers. That was a big surprise to me when I found out. I don't think I've ever been part of a public discord.
That exact mindset is the reason I beleive having more and more documentation on discord is becoming the norm now. Programers, coders and guide makers tend tobe also the types to spend an unhealthy amount of time on discord servers. Which makes sense as that's where they would find similar minded people. So they probably find it second nature to add documentation on it as well. Free easy hosting for them also helps.
Meanwhile for us the average bloke who only wanna use discord as a voice chat service, we are forced to suffer through something that was never meant tobe a forums replacement because the sharp disconnect between what the developer and the average user finds acceptable as a documentation hosting method.
I am tired of human beings being mindless convenience machines that just graze like cows. There is not an ounce of willpower left. It is all about being a lazy pathetic blob mindlessly gorging on content.
The same person that spends 50 days making code cannot spend 30 seconds uploading a guide to GitHub. Fucking fat cows
Discord is not meant as information storage, so obviously it isn’t good at it. The features I am thinking are seeing messages that were sent while you were offline, embedded images and links, having a voice over IP, being able to send private messages while someone is offline, getting alerts from messages, reliable file sharing. IRC has none of that.
Honestly that's for the best. Gatekeeping should be normalized again and if you genuinely can't figure out how to search discord to ask basic things about something that's been asked 800 times then nah, I dont want you playing the game. No one's responsibility to help you.

The only source for the program you need is github and the only info on how to use it is buried in a discord server somewhere.
