I personally think I am unable to perfectly guess today what I will want/need to have private forever.

This is one of the tenets underpinning my thoughts about why privacy matters.

But Discord & IRC aren't generally private spaces. They're no different to web forums in that you would reasonably expect that something you write today would be accessible without reference to you in 10 years hence.

That's a very different proposition to a private/group message exchange in WhatsApp/iMessage etc.

It's really quite simple: Would I be happy to discuss it in a public space where people might record?

I wouldn't plan a controversial political movement in public, or on Discord. I would discuss videos game programming either place.
