Finding a Discord Channel

Post by carldaman »

This is not trivial. At least, not for me. Discord looks like a big empty place, with its search function yielding no results whatsoever.

I was trying to look for the Stockfish unofficial Discord server (https://discord.com/channels/4359437104 ... 6266188890).

Is anyone able to find this channel? :|

The problem is that many discussions, such as those relevant to Stockfish-NNUE, can become hidden behind an impenetrable phantom site. Are those developers even aware of this?

You would think that taking the web link given by the NNUE people, https://discord.com/channels/4359437104 ... 6266188890, would get you there, but no. Discord is also notorious for its search functionality problems. Why create something as useless as discord, and why frequent it?

It also makes one wonder why an easy to access place like talkchess, or any other normal forum, is not where such discussions are being held...
