      It’s even worse when open source projects point you towards their discord for questions and support.

      It’s just a black hole for information

        I hate that so much, especially when GitHub lets have your own wiki. It’s just lazy devs.

            Naw, they just like to see that 60-70% unanswered rate for problems and issues. Makes for the best community support.

            Highest effort, lowest reward.

      please do show me a single messaging platform that can easily and sanely house a population of >50k people on the same server, and allows that for absolutely free, while providing reasonably high quality voice messaging and streaming with negligible latency

      Discord is trash, had issues with a KBDFans product, something as simple as a search of a forum would have given me the solution. I had to talk to a human to get the required information. They sent me a link to a firmware to download and all was good.

      If I was able to search a forum it would have been a 2 minute job, but I wasted someone else’s time, on the other side of the globe.
