> For the reasons above any sort of web forum or reddit-like platform is preferable for posterity as long as the information remains accessible on that platform. Web forums force everyone to use one UI provided by forum operator, while technologies designed around conversations (mail, netnews (RIP), IRC, Matrix and others ...) allow everyone to choose their preferred clients/UI. That itself is (for me) web forum disadvantage outweighing most other aspects.
