Please god no. So much info is already getting dumped to discord and nowhere else making searching or archiving impossible, we don't need more of that.

This is a selling point of Discord. The ability to have a conversation without "researchers" being able to search for it for decades.

[OrvalWintermute]

For many of us, Discord’s model is an anti-pattern.

Try searching for something when you don’t recall where you said it (dc server or DM)

[CursedUrn]

Doesn't Discord keep the data forever? And potentially sell it to "researchers"?

[lost_tourist]

Discord no doubt keeps every conversation ever typed on their servers. they might toss out something huge like a movie file but text compresses -very- well.

Sending something to discord is like sending it to /dev/null except that it is also diverted into the mailbox of Big Brother, with you having only very limited access to it on their whim.

that's part of the appeal nowadays, it seems websites and apps don't see the point of making themselves freely searchable anymore
