      While discord doesn’t necessarily cost money, it for sure also isn’t free. In fact it’s the reddit problem but way worse. A proprietary non-searchable database with all content fully licensed to discord including the right to sub-license. At least, Reddit had an API and is still searchable through their public facing http. I mean I get people don’t want their group messages readable by everyone, bit for large groups, it makes sense.

        No it does not.
        The Group chat is a chat.
        The public chat is basically a never ending forum post with 100 pages.

      Why would I ever want that?

      I can’t think of a single instance where I want to be messaging 50k people at once
