The service offers the ability to purchase credits through cryptocurrencies, as well as offers the data for AI training purposes.
From the article, the data collection hinges on a bot going into a public server then scraping the history. Still a problem that Discord should act on, but it looks like there is no need to worry about private servers.
“private” = small ‘servers’ that aren’t in the public index (I think you have to have like 500 people to be eligible or something), or…?
You literally just set the server to private, which is invite-only and has slightly less features. Any public/community server is in the public index.
I’ve ran a discord server for 8 years and I have 0 recollection of this setting. Where is it?
Hmm, it seems like the option is actually the reverse: for toggling whether it’s a community server. So to make it private you simply click on the button to disable community features.
You also used to be able to only disable discovery but that was bundled into community features.

No, it hosts the video. DMCA!!1!!1!!!
Edit: Italicized “hosts”. Wish we could use the <em> tag.
Another reason not to use Discord.
