It's not like discord is any better than SO. It's a closed platform, often with no read access if you don't want to register, and it's not searchable in the slightest.

I would take SO any day over discord.

Can people access to discord from corporate networks? I'm fucked if the Google answer gave me reddit or github as the answers because they're blocked.

Github is blocked for you? Bruh

I had to open a ticket for them to unblock the python pep pages! I was trying to teach my intern the pep-8 and didn't had access. Fucking crazy.

I don't know, but for reddit you may try one of the redlib instances, and gothub for github. I don't think discord has such frontends

Yep. 200% agree. I still post questions on SO, but when I don't get any answers, then I have to go to Discord... :(
