Nah, we’ve been through lots of iterations of community for developers, irc, maillists, forums, stackoverflow, etc. Most of my complex questions go through specific discord communities now. I’m not trying to spend a year editing a single post because some swamp ass weanie on stackoverflow has his nose covered in rule dust.
Yes ai has changed the game a bit, but it is not removing community, it’s mostly just cutting down on the question duplication
My most recent foray into a new technology was working with vulkan in rust on a mac, stackoverflow is useless compared to the vulkan discord.

fuck discord. this is the only thing I want to add to the other 2 responses
and mind me, matrix wouldn’t be that much better in that regard. better, but still bad, because it’s a bad format for this.
Down side of discord is huge. It’s not searchable to start with / its not index. Often it’s not even public information.
It’s like storing data on your personal hard drive/ssd. It’s the worst way to share knowledge.
RIP permanence and discoverability
