But that’s the same for gmail. If I send a mail to 200 gmail contacts, that mail doesn’t disappear when I delete my account

- pessimizer 4y agoBut it does disappear when all 201 of you delete your accounts.
- dogleash 4y agoTrue. This is why I mentioned intentionality in design. The design of email means there is an argument for the legal system that gmail is a very very popular post office. That email is a system wherein users have disparate storage areas for receiving/archiving emails, and gmail is one of many organizations that offers users the service of managing their individualized storage area on their behalf. In the service that is email, there is nothing inherently special about gmail. In the service that is discord, discord is discord.
- doublerabbit 4y agoI would argue that discord and IRC, are email too. It's just the protocol of communication dictates. They all carry data to a username@somewhere; whether it a tld, username or id. IRC enables Text & Attachments in text form (ie links) Email Enables Attachments in visual (html emails) Discord Enables Voice, Text and Attachments (Asynchronous sockets) That's all it is. Present a Video, Picture, Voice to your visitor and you've got a new product. Just as facebook,twitter,myspace have been.
