Is it open or locked to the platform? All them conversations are private then, people cant find them in five years when they have the same issue

[โ€“] B0rax@feddit.org 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yes. It is a closed platform. But you asked why people use it.

[โ€“] Squizzy@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Absolutely, not shitting on you just I thought people generally preferred open platforms for these discussions. Would make sense for a group chat to me which is where I cant see it differntiating from the normal platforms
