i'm dismayed by the extent to which so many IT communities have 
moved to Discord[a] for documentation and tribal knowledge:

"Discord, or the Death of Lore"

"Why you shouldn't trust Discord"

[a] As distinct from _Discourse_, which i generally like as a 
discussion/forum platform, and which i wish more IT communities 
were using instead of Discord.
