Forums were 1000x better. You could actually browse most forums without logging in, and they were search indexable. I feel like there is a lot of information locked behind unsearchable discord that I will never see. If trying to build a community everything that goes to discord that could have been a forum post is tying your community to some company that makes messaging software instead of your own forum.

Working on a public discussion/chat app that's a bit more forum inspired with no walled garden. If you're interested it's in my profile.
