> long-form vs quippy, preserved vs ephemeral
I learned a lot by browsing years old posts in forums and usenet but with ephemeral messaging I would not be able to do that. Makes me wonder how the new generation will deal with that.
It is also about centralisation vs each community hosting their own servers and not having to adhere to the arbitrary rules that some company enforces upon them.
- jhanschoo 6y agoMost established Discord servers have moderated channels that have strict on-topic guidelines, have slow modes, as well as pins, etc. The result is that a spectrum of long-form content to rapid messaging is achievable in Discord. If you don't like Discord managing your chat data, Matrix.org is an option.
