I think there is a legitimate concern here though. Discord, slack, etc have made it IMPOSSIBLE to get asynchronous help. Discord and slack and the other tools can help with this by allowing search engine indexing for these large public chats. Heck even github has been fucking with crawlers indexing issues and PRs. We literally now have websites that go and make a copy of github issue and make themselves indexable so search engines can pick them up. I legitimately don't care about privacy issues with these platforms, my only issue is that they've made self learning so much more difficult.
