A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Of all places to host your community in, why Discord? Discord is not indexed by search engines. If you wrote a long, thought-provoking piece there (I've seen many people do it), it practically lost forever after the discussion move a few screens forward in a few hours. People from the future can't benefit from what you wrote when they're searching for similar topic in a search engine. The same can be said with Telegram and WhatsApp groups which are popular in certain communities.

Some might consider that to be a plus. For certain types of communication, that ephemeral nature is preferred.

Me. I just like to troll without having my trolling sounds indexed by every search engine to ever exist. Why does google have to know the content of all my shitty jokes?

For some kinds of communication that ephemeral nature is desirable.

But reddit is the archive for so much information; just prior to the blackouts I discovered that just adding site:reddit.com to the end of Google searches gave vastly better results than searching the entire web.

I agree; Discord is great for voice chatting, but I can’t follow conversations in there. Maybe I’m getting too old but it’s not a style that I think is a natural evolution from Reddit.
