You're absolutely right. Aside from me not caring at all what happens to discord, my explanation points out that even having IRC chat logs public doesn't surface solutions in search engines, because chat isn't good for that.
It sounds like you really misunderstood what I was saying. Public software that values community as a long lasting place for users to find solutions should not be promoting chat for those end-user facing discussions, they should be promoting forums.
Plus the original meme isn't saying anything related to making discord publicly searchable, it's saying "fuck discord, I'd rather not use that software than use discord."
