unfortunately no, there are several communities where if i ask for some specific information, i am told to go onto the discord because there are guides and information there. specifically, i have noticed this a lot with mechanical keyboard communities, but i know it’s happening elsewhere too. I simply don’t understand it myself, trying to find something on these is like trying to find something in a twitch stream. it’s infuriating.

So, so many modding projects live entirely on discord. I hate having to join a server just to download a single goddamn mod, and then you can't find any info about them because google can't index the discussions.

Technically with headless browsing, nothing can't be indexed. That is at least unless people start getting brain implant and then Big Tech gets to control everything you experience and there's no analog gap where things can be copied.
