How else would they store and sync the information?
Encrypt it end to end with them not having the keys
They do have to retrieve old messages when new users join though. I’m sure the government can force them to lett them in a server and unlock the roles
Why?
Why is channel history needed for new users?
Back in the IRC days you joined a channel that was just empty, if you wanted the history you had to run an IRC client continously, I remember running screen irssi on a separate computer and sshing into the server, reconnecting the screen with irssi in it.
If you want the history automatically, you can't expect privacy.
90% of the reason I even have discord is because people much smarter than me use it to share information. Nobody uses other areas suited for sharing information anymore. It's either Reddit or discord.
Does this question really merit an answer? Can't you think of an answer yourself?
Ok, boomer. Unironically.
You're literally saying that people should just make do with inferior, significantly less practical tech. Do you think anyone will ever say that's a good idea and decide to switch from Discord to IRC?
Insults, very compelling argument!
Go back to Reddit with that shit!
