You can easily log and archive things that happen on an open protocol, not so much a proprietary one like discord.

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.
