I wonder if reddit’s ffxiv community decide to move to this community here or somewhere else and what the plans are, because it looks like an indefinite blackout. Probably most are on Discord, but still wondering about all of this.

also discord is just awful to archive and you cant search it from outside the app. thats why im happy the balance finally has a website
I don’t know how Discord became the end all be all for everything. Maybe it’s because it’s so easy to start a server? Either way as you said it’s terrible for searching and having asynchronous conversations.
I think it mostly comes down to the fact that Discord has become so synonymous with PC gaming in general, that it is almost an expectation that if you play games on PC, you more than likely have a Discord account as well. That then creates a feedback loop where it becomes more convenient to use than other platforms, therefore it gets more popular, which makes it more convenient, etc.
Choosing discord would be very appropriate for ffxiv then - after all, name a more iconic duo than FFXIV and absolutely atrocious UI decisions 😁
Excuse me? Elder Scrolls Online could be considered almost unplayable without UI mods. You have no idea.
