It mentions how several open source projects have their communities on Discord.
I might have misunderstood the comment I replied to, and the username led me to think it was intentionally snarky because of the thumbnail. In that case yes, it is extremely ironic.
As an aside, I taken some training and certification exams from a vendor that’s pretty highly respected in my industry. When I started taking their courses they provided student interaction and lab help from employees through a forum. They deprecated that and moved entirely to Discord in like 2021. Now it’s a flood of the same questions asked over and over again, and it doesn’t feel like an extension of the learning process when you have to ask a question or get help. I hate everything about it.
These people offer training courses up to and including shit like security mitigation bypasses, complex heap manipulations, and 64-bit kernel exploitation. They are more than capable of rolling their own self-hosted platform, and if their students can’t figure out how to use a forum idk what they’re doing in the course in the first place.
Yeah that sounds terrible. Also my main reason to hate discord.
