Well, with IRC, you could easily log all the discussions in text format and share them on an open website.
I don't think that's possible with Slack or Discord is it?
It's not the collection that is the problem, it's the transparency.
I was going to join a Discord channel to see if I could help a particular project, and they wanted a phone number before I could type anything!!
I dont think so....
As I see it, the cost isn't the issue here. "Open" doesn't necessarily have to equal "Free".
I am totally in agreement with @jwildeboer on this

Why wouldn't it be? Discord and I'm pretty sure Slack let you build bots just like you can on Discord. The only difference is that Slack & Discord have message history built in, so yes, you still have to register an account and join a server/workspace but i've done the "just dump messages to a txt file" on Discord a while ago and the only thing stopping me from pointing Apache2 at that folder was me not wanting to invade on the privacy of the people in the chat
