> I guess most people don´t care that much about participating in forums that are, for all practical purposes, essentially ephemeral For me at least, chat in general is ephemeral - I don't care about history past the last couple hours - the same way as I don't record regular conversations with people and listen to them later. For this reason I'm much less concerned about vendor lockin with a chat solution than I would be with email or more forum type stuff - if Discord starts sucking I don't lose anything by moving to something new (assuming it sucks enough for the communities I'm in to move too).
