Internet forums are disappearing because now everything is Reddit and Discord. And that's worrying.

I research information, I don’t like to pop into spaces and ask questions while sitting around waiting for the good will of a random to answer (in my experience they don’t).
Discord makes it so I can’t research and am basically forced to ask, sit around, waste the time of myself and a million others, hope that whoever answers me isn’t an asshole or an idiot (I typically need help for more difficult things and the answer I usually get from people in these cases is typically a waste of my time and theirs).
I just don’t understand why use it for support. It’s a chat room.
This is my exact beef with MS Teams. Companies tie it to a SharePoint and then only give access to all of their shit...via Teams.
It's a fucking chat app, Microsoft, leave it at that for the love of god
