This is desirable. I like that my discord conversation will be gone in a few years. They serve little purpose being archived anyway. Old IRC logs are a horrible thing to search for help anyway. Much better just picking a forum/reddit post on the same issue which will be better sorted.
- andybak 6y agoThe problem is that for many communities there is only the Discord. Quite technical communities - building projects they obvious feel will have longevity. Mozilla Hubs springs to mind but there are many more. It's become the norm. It's crazy and more people need to speak out if we're not going to lose a big chunk of a generation's tech knowledge.
- SulfurHexaFluri 6y agoI just don't see this being as much of an issue as is stated here. I find that over the years its easier and easier to find info. Github issues, reddit, or stackexchange have huge wealths of info that are expanding rapidly.
- andybak 6y agoI'm talking about communities with very little other material footprint. Nearly all discussion is on ephemeral platforms. There are no other knowledge bases to refer to.
