“There are more Discords than you realize, and more lore pouring into them than anyone can truly comprehend.”
Discord is an information apocalypse waiting to happen — its servers host huge amounts of obscure expert knowledge with very few ways to preserve it if they shut down. I’ll let digital archivist Jason Scott explain why that’s so alarming.
I have no disputes as the popularity of the places, the things that happen there, and the unquestioned vivaciousness of being the party that never seems to end and everyone wants to join. I just happen to be the sort of person who notices there’s no decent fire exits and most of the structure is wood and there’s an… awful lot of pyrotechnics being set off.
