Welcome to Programmer Humor!
This is a place where you can post jokes, memes, humor, etc. related to programming!
For sharing awful code theres also Programming Horror.
How so?
You can easily log and archive things that happen on an open protocol, not so much a proprietary one like discord.
Is it possible to have a server/channel bot publicly export channel activity?

Wikimedia and W3C log their chats with bots developed by themselves. I admit though that I am not expert in this topic, but I know that LiberaChat's policies forbid logging.
IRC archivers just idle on a server and record anything that comes by. You can do that with Discord. Matter of fact, I keep regular archive backups of a server we have that's full of news
You can't search an IRC channel for previous conversations, though? Isn't that what we were talking about?
Nobody considers IRC to be a substitute for documentation.
