MODERATORS
See my other comments. There is still no suitable alternative to Discord that is as good at it for making communities people can easily access. The loss is not solely in the messages that get locked away (sure that sucks too). It's the loss of the communities that can't exist on platforms like Matrix or IRC.
Another community will take its place one day, so no real value will be lost.
