"You can check out the full change log on our Discord!"

Please, stop doing this. Don't put important info behind a closed login wall. It's ridiculous. You're just making it more difficult for everyone.

Also, Discord is horrible to store this kind of information as his any similar services. Use the right tools.

This. Discord is ok for discussions but horrible for documentation or storing any information that needs to be found later.

Github, Forgejo, Gitea, Onedev and Gitlab ALL have spaces for this. Discord's moderation isn't a silver bullet for dealing with trolls and shit can literally be nuked for little to no reason.

Bonus points for them adding ads soon as well.

Whatcha mean "soon"? It already spams free users with shit to pay em for more betterer Discording... that qualifies as ads in my book.

When you give some people a screw, a blinking hammer and an old and not-so-pretty screwdriver, you can be sure they'll do everything to put the screw in a wall with the hammer.

Same for the Chinese users who uses Baidu Drive for downloads and storage of manuals...

* Baidu Drive (pan dot baidu dot com) requires a Baidu account to download.

This can be provided by a VCS and could also be provided in a single plain text file.

How is Discord even a medium for this? It stores links to text files? Or is the changelog the message history?

Patch notes also not providing comprehensive insight on changes (which Discord are also guilty of, only really updating their change-logs to highlight features they want to advertise... 😑) is also a massive pain, because it difficult to track timeframes when issues are introduced, and when they've been resolved... especially so without a change-log history...

especially when they post that in a field that was basically meant for the full changelog.
