    Matrix has this thing: https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-public-archive
    So Matrix bridge to Discord in combination to this is a weak solution.
    I have seen someone refer to Discord as “Black hole for information”. It is nice to see that people are thinking about possible solutions and working on them.

    I am looking forward to one day seeing Jason Scott address the anti-archival philosophy of the mastodon bdfl and his acolytes.

    (perhaps activity pub allows me to notify him by using his mastodon name @textfiles@digipres.club here? probably not.)

        Why did you comment the same comment so many times?

          Oh lol, that actually went through. On my side it looked like it failed to post. Thank you for pointing this out.

            i figured maybe it was a meta-commentary about how things like cross-protocol bridging will always be fragile and provide lousy results :)
