Yeah my thoughts exactly, I don’t see what the problem is here… Are people under the assumption discord is somehow private? What do they think discord themselves are doing with all that data?

Good :-) Finally people can index search and read back answers to questions for all the open source projects that only used Discord for communication (Like SerenityOS and many others).

Not that it is private, but that this shouldn’t be possible by an untrusted party. Two assumptions are made by a typical user: discord is somewhat trustworthy, the data is only controlled by discord. These are both incorrect but it is understandable why they make such an assumption about a large platform like discord. Without the knowledge of how things are scrapped, one might not think it is even possible.

I really don’t like seeing people gloating about harm just because it doesn’t affect them negatively, or treating it as justified because the victims were too stupid to know better.
And this “good” is not correct because the data isn’t for you, even if it was from those projects.

I just support the fundamental rule that was taught to me in one of those internet safety PSAs back in the day: The internet never forgets and whatever you posted is going to stay out there forever, good or bad.

That phrase is more often used as a post-hoc justification for harm, or to gloat, than as a legitimate warning.

I’m not sure what the difference with discord and Lemmy is. I would assume this is all being scraped as well.
