Doesn't everything on Discord go into a black hole? You can't search it with search engines.

Can't search Facebook or TikTok with a search engine. For a lot of people this is a benefit.

To find stuff. If most of the stuff is unsearchable, search engines become useless.

They can't find stuff on Facebook or TikTok now. Not really useless though.

Yes, but at the moment the good communities are about gaming, porn, and not much more.
