It's actually quite worrisome, many projects exclusively have their troubleshooting or support on Discord now what's going to happen years down the road when all those Discord servers have closed or no longer active and the invite links expire this is going to be a vast knowledge base that's just lost to the world

I see your point, but couldn't you say the same thing about any forum?

"What happens when the forum shuts down? All threads discussing issues gone forever"

Nope - cached/archived versions will continue to exist

If you host a forum, you can easily access the database to move threads into some kind of archive if you no longer want to host it. It could also be moved to another server. Stuff like that.

Using a proprietary service instead is just a bad idea.
