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.

Discord is a tough one, since those communities aren't open to search indexer and archiver crawls, losing that would extinguish a lot more of our collective knowledge.
Hopefully dedicated server teams branch to matrix or another more open platform.
IMO little of value would be lost with Discord. It's mainly used like a live chat support, rather than a wiki. The actual source of knowledge is usually elsewhere.
Many communities and projects have replaced their wiki's with Discord and this model is being adopted by more and more communities.
Gone are wiki articles, which are replaced by live chat with a terrible search functionality and interface.
