> 90% of everything is crap. In the case of chat, I think that's more like 99.9% of everything is crap.

Right but with 90% of everything crap you moved the 10% of good things into closed (for search results) system.

> If Twitter died tomorrow (not as unlikely as it was 6 months ago) then we'd still have a decent archive of the good tweets. All we'd lose is all the dross. The same is true for other platforms; the good stuff gets cross-posted and preserved.

Tweets are searchable and you can't archive.org discord chat easily. Terrible comparison and it is not same for other platforms.

My point is that the good stuff gets cross-posted. So a worthy Discord discussion will be screenshotted or otherwise recorded, and cross-posted to another platform.
