I can’t remember the last time i actually (non-work-related) needed to go back and look at old conversations. Anything important enough to be referenced isn’t data that should be kept in a chat app
My friends’ discord has pinned messages for things like mod lists and server connections that we would still use years later. More public groups for things like fan communities probably have plenty of rules and instructions that are displayed to new users. They could be linked as a shared file to download, but having it easily viewable in-client is a legitimate use case.
Yeah I found this limitation too but at the same time all that public info for communities will be better on a webpage and right now there are a lot of services to host static sites like nekoweb, neocities, cloudflare pages and github
Should be easier to access but requires minimal knowledge of HTML
My biggest gripe with it that makes it unusable as a serious replacement is that it purposely only stores conversation history for two weeks.
As for the heaviness you mentioned, it technically can be ran inside a browser but I agree a separate lightweight app would be more appealing.
Huh that actually makes it more appealing to me from a privacy perspective.

Oh thats weird I’d never used it enough to notice that. Not a great choice.
