    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.

            Nonsense! All you have to do is individually search each channel on the discord server and you just might find a brief thread discussing your issue 6 months ago, and then you just have to scroll for three minutes to find the comment with the resolution

            /s

          For that stuff, yeah, Discord is trash. But for communicating and support it’s definitely not a bad choice.

          Obviously something like a Lemmy or Reddit community does both and would be better, or even a forum board

        If I can’t read or even search it without creating an account then it’s pretty useless as an information source. Same issue with Twitter and Instagram.

          A free account does not make something inaccessible.

          useless as an information source

          That is absolutely bullshit, furthermore Discord is there for DISCOURSE, it’s not a goddamn wiki to be read and done with. Jesus Christ.
