Sure, but that’s not the only problem with discord as a documentation. I’d argue, from a practical standpoint that that’s not even really a big problem. The problem is that a stream of random conversation, sprinkled with memes and jokes, with multiple parties having a chat is the absolute possible worst way to find information (and it’s not even guaranteed to be there if someone hasn’t asked; or maybe someone asked, but never got answered)

While I think its a huge deal to require email addresses for publically accessible information, the rest is true. Although, upvotes and and different posts can help cut a lot of that crap. Also offers the ability to be indexed. I personally still throw the word reddit at the end of a search if I really can't find anything and one of the top comments usually has what I need. I agree though, not perfect or optimal for the task, just better than discord.
