> Sorry for a stupid question; but does not Discord have full-text search?
So if I grep something in /var/log/foo.log, find an error, I can copy-paste it into a search bar to start seeing what others have said about.
How does that work with Discord? I now have to sign up for the channel(s) of that software… and do that for every piece of software that decides to go with Discord.
Whereas if folks go with publicly accessible web forums, Github tickets, mailing lists (either old school Mailman or Google Groups), all those discussions and threads are universally available to web search.
