Hacker news is proprietary too

I don't think anyone uses it for community chat / support. You can also content without logging in, its content is search indexed, and it doesn't try to convince you to spend money on it.

So HN wasn’t a perfect example. What about GitHub. You can’t use GitHub’s search feature unless you’re logged in, and it very much encourages you to spend money on it.

The Discord-hate is a double standard that is not applied to any service (to the extent that comments criticizing Discord appear with extreme regularity on threads that should be completely unrelated).

Github issues are indexed by google and searchable.

And I think Deno uses it.

Definitely useful, but this should be a built-in feature of Discord at this point.

Git is distributed.

What does this mean? Dropbox/Amazon/Google/Windows get criticism across the web and on HN regularly, some of those far more than Discord.

I don't get it. Are you implying a conspiracy?

Discord _is_ particularly hostile to user privacy, that said.

No, but if your account at one of the big techs gets stuck in bureaucratic hell, the only way to get support is to make a fuss here.

FOSS projects don't organize on HN, it's a public link aggregator.
