I personally wouldn't touch Discord with a 10 foot pole but figured any privacy-focused people who use it may want to know this.

As a FOSS project maintainer, I provide a bridge between Discord and Matrix to give people the choice. Not everything he is comfortable with federated social media yet, and the Matrix federation specifically is not very stable.

I didn't make the reason for my request very clear. We need discussions to be archived and searchable from the internet. While Matrix is better than Discord when it comes to openness, it isn't much better in terms of searchability. Even the old Google groups were better. I would suggest something like Discourse (the forum).
