I really like Discord, but maybe its cus I grew up without internet. If you joined some club (like geology club or something) back in the day, you would show up and ask questions and whoever was there would answer your questions and ye would chat. They wouldn't respond by simply saying "RTFM!!" or "Someone already asked this!"
I think that attitude (like on stack overflow) That they are building some kind of perfect repository of knowledge for the ages from these various question and answers is delusional and has ruined that site in recent years. Most stuff on the internet seems to be highly transitory, constantly getting taken down by DMCA or some other bullshit with new stuff being uploaded in its place. Also the questions and answers themselves quickly become obsolete as tech changes.
Also, simply RTFM is not a good way to learn. There's plenty of evidence suggesting that asking questions and interactive learning is superior to simply learning by rote out of a book. When I'm learning (especially at the beginning, I really wanna ask loads of dumb questions and chat to someone who is already versed in the subject)
