    Not to mention so many projects putting their support in walled garden chat services like Discord that you can’t even search via search engine. Even if you can figure out who asked the right question and when, you have to trawl through a sea of inane garbled chat to get to the developer/expert response.

    Specialised topic forums really need to make a resurgence but I doubt they will.

      Seeing this happen has been one of the saddest most desperate parts about watching the internet dying.

      It was obvious what was going to happen years ago, that didn’t stop people from acting like I was a reactionary foolish cynic when I voiced concern about this though.

      Seriously FUCK Discord (and Reddit).
