They have already disappeared, can you link to one that doesn't require logging in with a twitter account to see? Then it doesn't exist. Another good reason why we should stay off silos so that we don't have future important discussions that disappear.
That argument is dubious, since if "you need to log in" is a gating factor, then email, Mattermost, and indeed XMPP are all problematic. If you mean "an account on a specific silo", then it's simply a restatement of your first argument.
Not at all, email and XMPP don't require any of this nonsense. For example all of these emails are forever https://mail.jabber.org/hyperkitty/list/members@xmpp.org/
