And good riddance. It was a dick-ish response to people who were already having a bad day. That said, you really can solve a lot of your problems by reading the manual (if one exists). And it certainly beats the hell out of the shit-show which is Discord "support". At least a manual is usually searchable and has some answers. And a good forum is usually also searchable and possibly indexed by major search engines (e.g. Google).
This.
The trend to moving to discord is crappy for numerous reasons - the biggest one because i refuse to supply a phone number as the price of admission. Second, it's hard to find and search through old content on the platform. It's just a crap, proprietary rehash of IRC.
I'm sure it's great to be on the white-hot front of development for new projects, but to name a few... Podman, PipeWire, Etcd.... full documentation is patchy at best, a lot of common use cases aren't answered unless you find something on the Arch Wiki (for instance) - They're all great projects, but goddamn is it hard to find simple answers, and the more stuff moves off of github issues or forums and onto shit like discord, the less easy it is to even get a grip on the problem.
