I get it: forums suck, but messaging platforms suck more for this type of thing. Trust me, having tried to organize information in forums, wikis, email lists, emails, discords, slacks, and everything you can possibly imagine…

It all sucks. But searchability and linking *has* to be the foundation
Centralizing knowledge/information on chat platforms is a job security strategy and actively hostile to team well-being/resilience.
FUCK YOUR DISCORD. IT'S A SHIT REPLACEMENT FOR WEB FORUMS.

Don't get me wrong, I like my chats on Discord, but I don't like it for knowledge sharing.
