eh, discord started catering to people using it as a forum, so they are actively making the problem worse…

they introduced pseudo-forum channels where messages are grouped into threads, like a traditional forum…of course not indexed, and with their signature terrible “last message first” sorting, and terrible UI that doesn’t do any of the things a forum is supposed to be good at…

so yeah, discord absolutely belongs to the other awful internet diseases you mentioned, it’s not an exception…
