oooh new idea for a slack store app. maybe instead of just deleting the message it could feed it into an LLM that would insert the information into a company wiki, so you have to go to the wiki to search instead of digging through old slack messages, which always sucks

hah I like that - accelerated bit rot

Totally agree. Now that Google has been pushing forum results more recently, I find myself always clicking on Reddit threads instead of other results. It's a treasure trove of information.

It's interesting to think how temporary posts would change the content though. Like, you're probably not going to ask a question if it will get deleted in 24 hours. So it wouldn't become a corpus of information, but maybe it would have a different feeling and culture than the existing social media platforms.
