Yeah, that is exactly the problem. When communities move to Discord, discussion between highly-involved individuals on a subject moves to a completely private place and can be purged at a moment’s notice.
I’ve used it mostly to chat between friend groups so that makes sense to me, but I don’t like having to join Discord communities because of this as well.
Yeah. Discord ist just slack with somewhat better UX and more tracking. But chat history is among the worst ways to access past knowledge. It’s just so lost.
People rarely think about that…
For sharing memes, this is fine. But for many other things, this isn’t.

The amount of Discord communities that are really just a mishmash of stickies and google docs is absurd.
