Random Rant: I feel like reddit died after they banned all the “unmoderated” communities. All the posts became sanitized. Now reddit is adding AI and streaks and NFTs to keep people on a platform that has no more content.

    a library of alexandria type event

    It already feels like that, because useful knowledge just fades away into chitchat in Discord.

    But yeah, I think it would be. There are already some scraping tools (and apparently, some chat archives built by hackers), but without some crazy hack, there’s just no way around communities being invite only.

      I think it really boils down to the owners of the servers doing the right thing. I mean that in terms of properly organizing the important information on their server and archiving it elsewhere simulateously.

      Otherwise yeah I agree its just a furnace In which data is being shoveled into, Rather than a single event as I implied.

      Again, someone knowlegable please tell me we are wrong, and a solution exists, or is in development.
