yeah most people aren't gonna host it themselves accept that reality so you're just shifting the burden to an even smaller company too they do disappear it happens and to say otherwise is either moronic or willfully disingenuous and noone under the age of 50 knows how to use irc as for the search engine yeah that's one downside but that's ignoring the fact most times you search a problem on a search engine you get a support forum with an auto closed issue cause noone responds to it the same with it closed with a response that was just read the documentation or it closed by the user saying "fixed it" and that's it and knowing what server to start with isn't the issue you pretend it is you just put a discord button in the app or the settings page if it's something bigger than an app
got it so you're being disingenuous on the third party hosting thing most people who are computer literate don't know how to use irc it's a near dead technology and that's the thing with discord you don't have to hope someone will bother to sign up they're already signed up most people are whether you like it or not and as for the releaf questions again the search feature on discord is really good you just can't be bothered to adapt to the new reality I don't like discord either I wish we could nuke all corporations off the internet entirely I wish that people would switch to matrix entirely but you've also gotta be realistic dude
you're being disingenuous with the why not it's easy it's cheap you know full well most people won't self host but you're refusing to acknowledge that because it's inconvenient for your hatred of discord that pretends there's issues that just aren't there search doesn't vary depending on server it's the exact same search feature you just don't know how to use it or care to learn
most people who make software probably also don't want to create support structures they just wanna pick something that already exists and go good enough
