I kinda love that this is on discord's front page, far from demonstrating how cool and useful it is, it actually illustrates what happens when you try to use a chat problem as a wiki, which is to say that no-one can find anything and access is contingent on being in the right place at the right time (📎1)
To be fair, it would make sense that Lemmyheads have a strong bias against fast & sloppy comments, but it seems like people are generally so lazy they don’t take their time to write well thought out sentences all the time.
I feel like on Discord it’s more about “shouting out” something as opposed to actual content. In fact, the actual content gets overflooded with useless spam.
Balancing out the freedom of dank shout-outs VS. the possibility of a serious discussion is a challenge that’s yet to be solved
For a lighthearted, hang out, or meme community, I agree with you. But if we’re talking about driving the development of a serious project, which is where the majority of grievances for Discord’s format comes in, my personal take is “your opinions or suggestions better be well thought out and articulated!”
