algolia has done the same for their discourse forum, moved everything to discord and removed all old posts.

Upon asking this was a response from the team: "The Discourse content is no longer available. Much of it was 5+ years old and no longer reflected current SDKs and APIs. We're glad to help you here."

people were unhappy obviously. I really don't understand this decision by them.

Also, why would anyone want to use Discord as a forum? It's horrible, not easily searchable, and you need a proprietary app. Nothing good about it.

I'm shocked so many companies use Discord for official purposes.

You can just use the website.

Edit: It's <<Discourse>>, not <<Discord>>.

Edit 2: Oh, they moved from Discourse to Discord :-)) That is just messed up.

You can use your web browser, as well.

I definitely understand it. I have some really old blog posts with tutorials for a deprecated version of my software and I get a lot of people complaining about things not working based on those. I've had to add disclaimers to the most popular ones.

That's pretty messed up. Maybe they don't deserve the honor of being HN's search engine anymore.

Isn’t there a fancy LLM ai out there that is suited to ingesting a local knowledge base and create excerpts with links to the original source?
