    I like discord a lot for support groups for small projects where it’s about 50-100 ish people interested in it. But when a project grows and the server grows with it definitely becomes a struggle for people to look back at whats already been discussed so people keep asking the same questions over and over.

      Heck, even with a handful of people anything longer form feels like a chore. I’ve been the admin of a tiny friends only server for a good few years and even in there it feels hard to keep track sometimes when there’s more than a single laser focused topic.

        That’s a moderation issue. The servers I have in have channels per topic and quite aggressively redirect any offtopic convo’s into the General Chat.

          I mean stuff like parallel conversations on the same topic, a lot of it is probably on my ability to parse it all
