Discord has your full chat history in a conveniently searchable server side database. When new people join a channel in your discord server, they call see the full chat history so they can get fully caught up.

You can use discord on multiple devices at the same time without the devices needing to directly sync with each other (because the state is stored on the server).

FYI there is a permission to disable this for a channel

The point is that's a feature that is possible because the chat history is stored on discord's servers.
