The worst part is that it is preserved, as long as the Discord channel still exists, but is functionally impossible to find. Because search engines can't index it from the outside, and Discord's search function is just a dumb literal string matcher.
And that won't stop all the regulars in the channel from jumping down your throat anyway because you asked a question that was answered 17,782,169 chat messages ago. Didn't you see it? It's right there. Nestled in between said regulars posting pictures of their cats, or showing off the latest computer peripheral they just bought, or kibitzing about the weather in whatever towns they live in. Interleaved between six separate conversations that were also going on at that time. I mean, duh!
"Just search!" I did, and all the results I got were you guys likewise jumping down the throats of the last 200 people who asked the question before me.
