>Discord will now be letting Google index all messages

I knew they had a poor track record for privacy but holy fuck

They're not even pretending there's any privacy there anymore
>>
i needed second thread thanks
>>
Literally how is this even legal
>>
>>110183838
I noticed like a year ago messages sent started to have a delay. Niggas are definitely scanning for no no words and wrongthink. Good thing I deleted all of my accounts. Wish the servers I wrote in wold get nuked too, because we shared some personal info after years of chatting between individuals I thought I could trust. Should have seen it coming honestly.

as a boomer I think this is good news. this is what forums were supposed to be: archivable and discoverable
>>
>>110183838
>They're not even pretending there's any privacy there anymore
its not gonna be on by default you moron

and yes its logical to do this since discord killed the good old forums as we know it
>>
>>110183838
i thought le epic 4channers wanted discord info to be publicly accessible?
>>
>>110183838
This is a good thing, brainlet. There are entire treasure troves of content BURIED and HIDDEN in the depths of discord servers.
>>
this might cause all the trannies to leave the platform and self contain on even deeper platforms

like what happened with twitter and blusky
>>
The bots and AI scrapers may gobble up all the public data
Will Discord's services be disrupted heavily during that initial period?
>>
>>110183939
Even this site is a better place to be trans, because it's ironically easier to filter out hate speech than Discord or Twitter (now X)
>>
>>110183907
this

>>110183933
You're not even hiding your boner scraper
>>
>>110183966
Not even a scraper. I just want to be able to find shit without joining some greasy fat power tripping faggot's server.
>>
eu court is going to have a field day with this one
>>
>only reason to join discords is to grab files or lurk and read gossip

Actually interacting them with gets you banned 50% of the time also they post some nasty stuff
>>

the EU will crush X (formerly twitter) any day now! Just wait!

This will be fun. I wonder how many retards use public discord channels to share pizza
>>
>using discord
>>
How is this bad?
>>
>>110183914
>reading comprehension
every channel and public* server is opt out
* every server you can join through the discover server feature

anyway, I'd advise everyone who might have posted anything sensitive to delete their accounts. tis' better to be identified as deleted user rather than risk your identity being correlated

also, can't wait for zealous vigillates that will start "exposing" people for wrongthink
>>
>>110184001
It's apparently pretty common on all big platform. Facebook got in trouble for that.
>>
https://discord.com/blog/making-content-from-discoverable-servers-easier-to-discover
read, niggers, and stop making shit up in the replies.
>>
So basically nothing changes.
>>
>>110184024
How long before they start sharing private servers and even DMs though

Give them an inch and they'll take a mile
>>
>>110184024
>...messages from public channels may show on Server Web Pages and in web search beginning in mid-December 2026...
ok?
>>
>>110183838
Why is discord allowed to even exist?
How many more troons have to organize mass shootings on Discord till it gets banned?
>>
>opt-out instead of opt-in
this should be illegal and i'm pretty sure it is in most cases
>>
>>110184041
Be glad they're even giving you an option to opt your grooming server out of it, you fucking sex pest.
>>
>>110183869
It's no different from indexing a 4chan post.
>>
>>110184055
But i am a tranny and i groom children and organize shootings!
I should have more rights than others!
>>
>>110184041
The server owner can flick the switch back and forth any time too.
>>
>>110183838
Isn't this literally 9/11 for troon modders?

who ever could be behind these hyperbole posts against privacy

remember when idiots were told "have your own server" and were given a proprietary client, and accepted it?
>>
>>110184067
what has an index of public posts to do with privacy?
>join public server
>enter your name in the search
>get everything you ever wrote

Imagine shouting something on a public town square and then get angry when someone is allowed to hear what you shout.
>>
>>110184055
>>110184087
>>110184082
Because it's a slippery slope

First it's public and discoverable servers only, then it's private servers, then it's DMs

If the product is free, you're the product
>>
>>110183838
>say things in public internet
>get indexed
You guys are really fucking retarded.
PUBLIC SERVERS
PUBLIC
Fucking faggots all of you. Normally you'd complain everything is on shitcord and now you complain it's not.
Kill yourselves.

You could always screenshot everything said on any "muh open sores freedumb privacy" platforms

wtf is the difference between a public and private discord? they are the same, they are just divided between nsfw and sfw
Its possible to find any discord even obscure ones made by some guy

I hope lots of people finally destroy their servers and move to other platforms like they should have decade ago
>>
>>110183939
>this might cause all the trannies to leave the platform
two more weeks

IRC doesn't have this problem. Curious how decades old platforms don't have any modern problems associated to modern software that people usually complain about. And people left all that because... emoji support???
>>
>>110184205
If IRC's only problem is emoji support and people are leaving because of that, maybe they should add emoji support?
>>
>>110184254
Why? So zoomers can spam that retarded garbage? Like it's 2004 4chan /b/

I don't see what is the problem here.
You run your own forum if you want some guarantees on privacy.
>>
>>110184254
irc doesnt provide the features people want, which is why they use http based matrix instead
>>
They're only doing this with public messages in public servers, no? This sounds like a good thing to me, I've been in various Discords for things like open-source projects and their tech support channels are constantly, constantly filled with the same kinds of questions over and over and over, because there's no proper searchability or discoverability on previous Discord messages. Back in the day such projects might've had a forum which was properly searchable both from within and from search engines, I think it's good if public messages in Discord become searchable too. A lot of information should be much easier to find without going in some godforsaken server and once again asking the same questions yourself.

I did some research
>will only index "discoverable" servers with more than 1k members, you can check if a server is discoverable by searching for it by clicking the compass icon around the join new server button
>as far as i know it will only index posts that happen after december 2026, so old posts are safe
>you can disable it in all servers under settings > data and privacy
So it's not really a major happening to me. It only affects a very small percentage of servers that have listed themselves as discoverable.
>>
>>110184331 (me)
>the compass icon around the join new server button
Should be "the compass icon under the join new server button"
>>
>>110184277
usually information that gets asked alot gets pinned with answering post
>>
>>110183838
>nwoooooo my mod download links that I force people to join my circlejerk for are now going to be publicly available this is a violation of my human rights!
lol fuck you
>>
good
>>
>>110184107
private servers are invite only. anyone can join public servers.

>>110184382
indexing is optional and only for public servers. this won't stop power tripping mods.
>>
>>110184554
i think i get it, ive seemingly only interacted with private ones then
>>
>>110184055
cause people on 4chan have accounts that can be linked with messages... the word retarded doesn't even begin to describe you.
>>
>>110184762
4chan does have accounts tho?
>>
>waaaah discord is a shit forum replacement for public mods/foss/games/etc projects and communities because it's a black hole that is not searchable on search engines
>*discord adds that very feature*
>noooo why would they do that!!!!11111
Are you retarded or something?
