However on IRC this is not for technical reasons, but limited interest.

Pre-LLM-GenAI gathering information from huge chat logs was quite limited.

But different extraction mechanisms always existed. Some people kept logs, some servers/channels had web-archives.

Discord tries to keep it exclusive to them.

(Focussing on technical side here, whether it's socially wanted is a different big question, which ends with a "it depends")

       grep/recoll. Fast even on ancient machines.

That's nice for finding Keywords, but dismantling a chat discussion, which probably consists of many parallel threads in a channel, isn't easy.
