Opinion: When you are trying to build a community it is more important to use whatever platform your users can be found on than to be a purist.

Counterpoint: If said community is about a certain type of software, decisions over the type of platform matter more than popularity within teenagers. Coherence is important.

Putting everything on discord makes information unsearchable via search engines, which is objectivily not great. This recent habit is contributing to killing the web.

On a more subjective note, I just don't like it. On the top of my head : Confusing interface, wont' shut up about nitro, requires a phone number.

but discord is simply less accessible than any other option. I can't even login without identifying 25 bicycles lmao

That’s just not true. I’m no discord fan but less accessible? They have an app for the mobile platforms as well as pc/mac, and browser-based support as well.

But oh no, they have a captcha!!! So much less accessible!!! The fuck you talking about

Logging into a non-indexible proprietary service just to be able to read the documentation definitely does not contribute to accessibility.
