eh, discord started catering to people using it as a forum, so they are actively making the problem worse...
they introduced pseudo-forum channels where messages are grouped into threads, like a traditional forum...of course not indexed, and with their signature terrible "last message first" sorting, and terrible UI that doesn't do any of the things a forum is supposed to be good at...
so yeah, discord absolutely belongs to the other awful internet diseases you mentioned, it's not an exception...
I use a "jump to top" plugin specifically to make discord threads more usable. I'd still rather use an actual forum or even reddit over these poorly implemented features.
People deciding to use threads as forums is not Discord's fault.
