    Discord has forums for long form discussions. Slow mode can be enabled so that it doesn’t turn into a “chat”.

      I think forum mode has the same limitations as regular Discord - posts aren’t indexed in Google, search is kinda… meh, you have to sign up to see anything, and overall it’s still not a platform built for long-form discussions.

      Round peg, square hole IMO. Discord is designed as a chat application with an afterthought of threading and forums (I guess?). It’s not a reddit replacement, and it’s not designed as a forum.

        I don’t remember suggesting that they use discord as a forum and a Reddit replacement. I think you misread what I actually wrote.
