You should look at their Terms of Service. They are obscene.

I’m not going to be their product and be forced into perpetual agreements that can’t be terminated.

You should reconsider indemnifying them. If they want indemnification, they should buy an insurance policy like the rest of the world.

And I think you’re a fool to agree to arbitration. There’s a reason companies choose arbitration rather than settling disputes in the court system.

This isn’t the LLVM Discourse server.

This seems like a mistake. Discord is pretty good for tight communities where everyone wants to know about everything that’s going on, and don’t need to refer back to old information. I use it for that.

It’s a great deal less useful for a large and loose community, where the individual members have questions that aren’t particularly related to each other.

Cfe-users is the latter kind. With it as a mailing list, I can just mark mails read each morning, and search the accumulated mails when I have a question. That lets me use my own client software, set up for my own accessibility needs.

With cfe-users as part of a Discord, I’m limited to Discord’s search, which isn’t very good, and I have a lot more stuff to read, or mark as read. This does not seem worthwhile, so my contact with the LLVM project will decrease. This probably isn’t what was intended?

Hey John

I think you are confusing Discord and Discourse.
