How am I being disingenuous? I DO host web pages. We do host pages for support. I am not sure what you are getting at.
Yes, IRC isn't used that frequently, and it is sad. It just works.
I am not the only one who doesn't like Discords search, and it really does vary depending on the instance.
And I am realistic. Again, we already do this. No discord needed.
you're being disingenuous with the why not it's easy it's cheap you know full well most people won't self host but you're refusing to acknowledge that because it's inconvenient for your hatred of discord that pretends there's issues that just aren't there search doesn't vary depending on server it's the exact same search feature you just don't know how to use it or care to learn
Most people are not making software and trying to create support structures either. So I am not sure what you are getting at here. If someone can create a development project of any decent size, setting up a web page for cheap or free is trivial. So I have no idea what you are getting at.
It has nothing to do with if I like discord or not, it is simply is it appropriate or not. I have explained why it is not an ideal support place. Certainly not a tier one. Nothing I said was pretending anything.
And yes it depends on the server. You do realize that admins use various bots and have different settings per discord instance right? There are many discussions with the discord devs about their various approaches and problems with searches.
most people who make software probably also don't want to create support structures they just wanna pick something that already exists and go good enough
