No random open source application, I do not want to join your Discord channel for support.There's this really cool technology called hypertext markup language, and if you use it for your documentation another piece of amazing technology called a search engine can help me find the answer I'm looking forAnd the real magic is you only have to answer it once and the answer helps anyone. You don't have to answer the same question every day. This frees you up for more fun development

@TomLarrow at least the project isn't Kotlin that removed references to their fully functional and useful Discource forum and direct all questions to their... drumroll... Slack.Not only that, every question on their Slack has to be a Slack thread (if you've tried it you know just how terrible that is).Oh, and their documentation is of course barely usable. Why should it, they have Slack.

@lokeHiding open source documentation and support behind closed source systems seems problematic

@TomLarrow There's this really cool tech called ChatGPT, and if you use it for your documentation, it will arrange words in different sequences until one of those sequences seems to answer your question.And the real magic is that you never have to answer a question, and the non-answer helps everyone, because everyone gets a different answer every day. This frees you up to conjure new prompts to ChatGPT.

@som_snytt @TomLarrow Is ChatGPT open source? Does ChatGPT answer questions correctly? Is ChatGPT a real time search engine? How do you provide ChatGPT with your knowledge required for providing support if your project is not hosted on proprietary services like GitHub? Where do you cache ChatGPT's answers if it is not available? How do you make sure ChatGPT's answers don't violate copyright?You can answer those questions directly or use ChatGPT if you want.

@Zerglingman @TomLarrow I have a dev discord for my game to keep peeps updated and communicate. Sure as hell will not be making one for any sort of community because I don't wanna manage that shit.

@TomLarrow A much better option is Discourse. We’ve used it for our commercial software product for over 6 years and it is fantastic. And for an open source project, it might even be free: https://blog.discourse.org/2018/11/free-hosting-for-open-source-v2/

@Zerglingman @TomLarrow much easier than getting a bunch of normies to sign up for something they don't already have and won't ever check. I actually had to remake a sock Facebook account because some of them didn't even want to go as far as using discord.

@Zerglingman @TomLarrow 2 problems with that.1: none of these people would know what rss was if I told them2: that's only for people receiving updates from me, not giving me updates or throwing ideas/criticism around where everyone can see it and also comment on it

@beardalaxy @Zerglingman "everyone can see it and also comment on it"Everyone who registered to be a part of the discord server you mean. If you truly wanted everyone to see and comment on it, it would be posted in a public place, not behind closed doors.

@TomLarrow @Zerglingman no shit. I don't want literally everyone to see it, just those involved with the project. At least, not yet. It'll be public eventually, don't worry.

@TomLarrow It’s fascinating how some in the open source community so strongly embrace Discord, a proprietary, closed platform with no easy way to export whatever people type into it.

@spockthebest@kkarhan @TomLarrow In no particular order1. it's not searchable using a search engine which means I have to ask a question and wait for an answer.2. Repeated questions as the answers scroll and no, pinned posts can't solve this problem.3. Input overload, no-one wants to go through joining a server to ask a question and then have to leave the server because if they don't they'll end up with so many Discord servers it's impossible to keep up.4. Discord is a real time communications medium and not a documentation system. That's off the top of my head...

@TomLarrow +9001%If a #FLOSS project doesn't do proper #documentation - even if it's just a single manpage - I'll not use it and espechally not join any shitty #SingleVendor / #SingleProvider solution with unacceptable ToS like #Discord that add 0 advantages and only disadvantages compared to #IRC to the table.

@Zerglingman @TomLarrow Looking forward to this exciting new hellscape after reddit shits the bed. And here I was, enjoying that I only associated with friends that used it instead of complete fuckin strangers that refuse to use forums.
