I can more or less easily get my data out of github (I can host a repo elsewhere, write a script to scrape the issues, etc.) I don't like using the non-git parts of it for much (ie why write a wiki when you can just make a repo full of markdown files?) Discord is a whole other level of walled garden. It's a black hole of information, and that information isn't owned by you. Discoverability is nonexistent.

fyi: github wikis are just a repo full of markdown files. you can clone down your wiki, make changes, write commits, etc.

Except it is using Gollum, which isn't all that great. I think the only positive is tab integration. I prefer the GitHub or GitLab Pages approach.

Backup scripts also exist for Discord. You can also export your data. It really isn't much different than GitHub in that aspect.
