    That does not solve most of the problems; you still have to join unindexable group chats to receive any amount of support and discussion.

      Right, that’s not the tool for the job. Forums boards are still best at retaining information.

      But aren’t room contents indexed and accessible from any client ? they aren’t accessible from a web search engine is what I understand

        With a Discord account, you can search in a Discord channel for any servers you have access to, as well as any of your private chats. This means you need to sign up with a commercial account and agree to lots of tracking and data selling, it means that information can be withheld by banning someone from a server, and that information could become very inaccessible relying on people screenshotting it and posting it on other places as has happened with information from Discord servers several times.
