However, content in Discord servers can't be indexed by search engines. ~Strawberry

If I may ask, what makes Discord less of a pain to moderate? And forums also tend to be good for users to ask more obscure questions that aren't likely to be easily answered on a wiki and for other users to be able to look them up later. ~Strawberry

How would we make sure politicians and enforcement agencies even enforce such policies? Especially with lobbying and all that... ~Strawberry

How do we set one up? And how do we get people to stop responding to crises by rushing over to the first dipshit that says genocide is the best response? Why was that the response for many people??? ~Strawberry

We also need to figure out how to get people to stop choosing the worst possible reponses to crises all the fucking time. "Oh wages are stagnating? I want to commit genocide against trans people now! THIS MAKES PERFECT SENSE AND I AM A GOOD FACTS AND LOGIC BOY!!1!" ~Strawberry

The issue is a social platform is useless without the social aspect. If someone's entire friend group is on one site, they're unlikely to move to another. Trying to get the whole friend group to move is also easier said than done due to inertia and t eother members of the friend group also being in communities and friend groups that aren't on the new platform. Now imagine that on the scale of a site like Discord and combine it with FOSS alternatives often have fewer features, less software support (for bots, clients, etc), and higher barriers to entry and you have a recipe for disaster for many new social media platforms. ~Strawberry

Why not use a forum so that search engines can actually index information from the support site? Users are capable of going to forums. ~Strawberry

Why do they prioritize money and power over the welfare of society? What makes them think it's a good idea? ~Cherri
