       @gamingonlinux I'll add Facebook groups to that as well.I was essentially forced to make a fake Facebook account just to join a huge group that is only on Facebook and has a ton of knowledge and experience.It's walled off to the rest of the internet and I didn't even know the group existed until recently.Old school forums are the way.

       @gamingonlinux Or people that only provide support on a Discord server... Which means you _have_ to open up Discord, then ask your question, spend ages to figure it out etc.Instead of clicking a link, skimming through a thread and (hopefully) finding what you need.

       @gamingonlinux Is mastodon searchable? asking for learning purposes.

       I have not seen a search feature, but it can be indexed by search engines so you can use one with the "site:example.com some keywords" syntax. Discord does not even allow that.CC: @gamingonlinux@mastodon.social

       "I know let's host files and important info on a proprietary chat platform that requires logins and isn't searchable outside it, what could possible go wrong?"Uh, everything. Stop it.

       @gamingonlinux Even stuff that's not that important. Searching for cool Pokemon romhacks to play makes me want to blow my brains out.

       @vv221Most fediverse instances disallow indexing (I know Akkoma does this by default), or are poorly indexed, so this isn't a very good place to put information either.@keremgo3d

       I disallow indexing on my instance too, like I do on all Web things I maintain. But at least it is my choice as an admin, not something baked into the software that can not be disabled.On the other hand I agree that the Fediverse is not a good place to store and retrieve information… but it’s still much better on this front than Discord ;)CC: @keremgo3d@mstdn.plus

       @gamingonlinux I used to love discord in the early days, and still love it as an 'irc+skype+teamspeak' replacement, even though they are a data kraken. But man, does this whole 'wiki on discord' trend annoy me.
