Aside from the fact that the hack sucks, it brings up some of the interesting things that have been rattling around in my head pretty much since the start. Including... why the heck are people always heading to Discord or Telegram to *talk about Hive?
Why aren't we talking about Hive... ON Hive? That seems like a shortcoming in the root design... and it begs the question why some hasn't jumped on creating a "Discord-like" dapp here? Consider how central both "Groups" and "Messenger" are to FB, so why not here?
The age old question. I think it likely has something to do with the permanence of the chain and what you write. People think it can be deleted on discord but they just don't see it lol. The discord owners absolutely have all of it stored.
