yeah I've really noticed it's hard to find info and therefore use any project that does this.

and it must suck because anyone new, instead of finding the answer to their question in a forum archive from when it was first asked, has to log in and ask it again.

whenever I have dumb noob questions on setup and I see a discord link I give up a little.

dude i give up completely, you think im joining a random discord full of a bunch of people i dont know with a culture of who knows what dialect?

Nah fuck that i'll just go use some dudes random piece of scrapped together software that's actually pretty based instead. To that guy who wrote the bash script for flashing windows ISOs under linux. Thank you.

And then to top it off users get annoying and angrily point at sticked posts, wikis and whatnot when people ask the same questions for the nth time.

This. I literally just joined. I have no idea what the server layout is or where all the important links are.

My biggest pet peeve is when you join a new server and you have 15 different steps you have to do before you can ask a question. Verify with a bot or two, send picture drinking verification can, send emoji here, ask for emoji there, introduce yourself, publish your whole biography, wait for the pope to bless your account, and then, maybe, you are allowed to use the #help channel. I'm not a discord user, I don't know what this all means ffs!

Even if you’re a Discord user it’s still annoying as fuck.

...And in addition, Discord itself can randomly nuke your account by asking for a phone number.
