I thought the original comment meant “_for_ who doesn’t use X or Discord, here is the github mirror link”. There’s a “for” missing, and thus I think they agree with you

I think there was a typo so you took the opposite meaning from the post - I think that's fairly innocent an unavoidable, we're all human. But how you chose to respond to what you'd inferred wasn't really helpful, actionable or informative for someone who might be naively using Discord.

People would have to be living under a rock to not understand issues people might take with X, but it's possible to be on HN and have very little understanding or context of the issues around Discord.

So for others:

- Most content on Discord is not easily discoverable outside of Discord

- Despite using terminology like "servers" and other things associated with open self hosted tech, Discord seems very closed source, for profit and generally opaque.

Regardless of how harmful all that is to an open internet, there seems to be a growing trend of smaller github projects depending on Discord instead of thorough documentation. I feel there must be quite a few people who want a certain world (open tech) who are not aware that Discord often looks to be working against that.

I've used Discord a little, but I don't feel very comfortable or capable with it, so I might be very wrong with this assessment.

Ups, late to the party, that was indeed a grammar mistake on my side, as others have pointed out.
