Yeah, I get where people on both sides are coming from.
On one hand, writing up documentation in a wiki or something is work, and if someone has answered a question, then one can just search for it. And people have used mailing list archives like this successfully.
But on the other hand, nobody just tells someone to go dig through IRC logs as a knowledge store for a project, and my limited experience has been that Discord is closer to that. Reddit is okay as a knowledge source, close enough to the mailing list archives.
