Starting today, new support threads that are created on discord will be indexed and be easily findable with search engines thanks to Answer Overflow. Right now, existing threads are being indexed.

I think this is crazily important. My biggest issue with Discord is that they have become the default hubs for issues and fixes. Over days, weeks, months and years those fixes get buried and harder to find, but the worst offender is that they are unindexable by default.

Its lovely to see someone doing this. I wish everyone would do this.

As ever, if you don’t know Heroic, you can find their website with this link here

    I get it.

    I can’t use discord because my privacy settings on my devices is such that discord demands my phone number from me, and that is not a piece of personally identifying information I will ever share with them.

      I understand you. You can always use a temp number or get a sim without credit

        That is a proper workaround when you don’t have a choice, disposable temp sim will get you through their “security”. Unfortunately doesn’t work with virtual sim numbers though.
