Can we please stop building everything around Discord? It has its place as a chat app, but it’s become like a web parallel to our own, except owned and operated by a single company. It’s an information black hole, completely closed off from the rest of the web, unscrapeable, uncrawlable, unarchiveable, and borderline unsearchable. It has everything that is wrong with the web today. When the company dies, all information in the app dies with it. There’s no Internet Archive for Discord.
A great feature of RES was you could make your username appear as “user” locally. That way, you could browse Reddit in your browser without people around you seeing your username. That’d probably be one of the easier RES features to add here.
