We no longer say RTFM, read the fucking manual, anymore. I wonder why that is. Is it because more and more projects are moving all documentation to discord?

Some projects still have manuals… But there seems to be less expectation people will familiarize themselves with manuals anymore. I wonder why

A big part of it is manuals are increasingly non-present or unhelpful. Though, home appliances normally have useful ones still and I have used them on several occasional when doing repairs.

more and more projects are moving all documentation to discord

This is absolutely a trend that needs to stop. It is worse for individuals as info is completely unsearchable; and it is worse for the Discord admins and helpers as they have to answer the same questions over and over as nobody can find previous answers to the same question. A classic forum is optimal for public support.
