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.

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

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

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.

How does that even get on a blocklist 😭

Don't want the slaves reading the GPL and getting ideas.
