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.
