If the Threadiverse gets large enough for data to be worth recording, they’re gonna be pulling off it too.

You can’t get a Discord user’s IP address in the app itself as every interaction is proxied through Discord’s backend first.
People do click on sketchy links and hand over their IP though, and Discord can’t do much about those situations

Discord bots were able to get a users IP via the verification system afaik.

Look at the update comment to that video. The bot creator did it on purpose. Nothing to do with Discord’s verification system.

afaik thats rather about the parallel service someone had selling the data for a subscription and getting that data from restorecord's database.
In the video it is already suspected restorecord is in on it, and the update comment proves it.
