The problem is that many of these communities (and communities in general) are using systems like Slack for content that isn't ephemeral. Sure, use something like this to talk about the weather, what you're having for dinner or other things no one cares about in the long run. But if you're talking about bugs, feature requests, future plans for the project, tech support... then use a proper forum or other more permanent solution, since otherwise tons of useful information just vanishes into the ether, especially with tools like Slack which have an actual message limit. Still, they're not the only ones. Feels like almost everyone nowadays has forgotten about the value of having information stored for the long term. See the same thing with gaming communities on Discord too.
