Discord is a chat and the default setting of every server is that to see the content of it, you need to join the server.

It make sense for a chat.

However, companies and communities have largely misused discord and basically turned it in forums.

Lots and lots of knowledge is spread on these chats with no way of finding it unless you know which server to join and provided they do not shut down at some point.

On top of that, the discord search feature is barebone at best.

This is the problem with discord.

What has discord to do with privacy? you really going the privacy route here while using Discord? Is this a troll or should I need to send you their privacy policy and tos? Nobody is talking about private chats you have with your buddies on Discord. Nodoby want to see this anyway. (expect Discord ofc) we are talking about PUBLIC discord servers with thousands of people in it, where content is posted that only is accesable via a gateway of making a discord account + phone number and is in no way searchable on the internet.

Now imagine, everything would be like that, you wouldn’t even be here arguing with me because you would’ve never known what Lemmy is or even reddit. Because nothing would be searchable on the internet.

Not sure what is so hard to grasp about that.
