Discord separates and controls possibly useful information from the public internet. It's one of the worst platforms to use.

    Are you against IRC for the same reason?

    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?

    Servers can be hosted by anyone; there is usually no account needed to join the chat; it would not randomly demand a phone number or an ID; it does not get pissed over people not using a very specific piece of bloated spyware... So nope, not against.
