Discord is not meant to be a private messenger. And you really shouldn't use it as one!

Things that Discord should be:

  • Small group voice chats (eg gaming groups)
  • Community chat, like IRC back in the day

Things that Discord shouldn't be:

  • IM client
  • Forum
  • Knowledge repository
  • Streaming platform

I've come to find one of the most annoying things to read back on Reddit is "go look it up on the Discord." That's like reading a book that references to look up text scribbled on a napkin.
