>Discord will now be letting Google index all messagesI knew they had a poor track record for privacy but holy fuckThey're not even pretending there's any privacy there anymore
i needed second thread thanks
Literally how is this even legal
>>110183838I 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 anymoreits 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
>>110183838i thought le epic 4channers wanted discord info to be publicly accessible?
>>110183838This 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 platformslike what happened with twitter and blusky
The bots and AI scrapers may gobble up all the public dataWill Discord's services be disrupted heavily during that initial period?
>>110183939Even 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)
>>110183907this
>>110183933You're not even hiding your boner scraper
>>110183966Not 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 gossipActually interacting them with gets you banned 50% of the time also they post some nasty stuff
>>110183972the EU will crush X (formerly twitter) any day now! Just wait!
>>110183970All you gonna find is inane zoomer babble.
>>110183838This will be fun. I wonder how many retards use public discord channels to share pizza
>using discord
How is this bad?
>>110183914>reading comprehensionevery channel and public* server is opt out* every server you can join through the discover server featureanyway, 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 correlatedalso, can't wait for zealous vigillates that will start "exposing" people for wrongthink
>>110184001It'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-discoverread, niggers, and stop making shit up in the replies.
So basically nothing changes.
>>110184024How long before they start sharing private servers and even DMs thoughGive 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?
>>110183838Why 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-inthis should be illegal and i'm pretty sure it is in most cases
>>110184041Be glad they're even giving you an option to opt your grooming server out of it, you fucking sex pest.
>>110183869It's no different from indexing a 4chan post.
>>110184055But i am a tranny and i groom children and organize shootings!I should have more rights than others!
>>110184041The server owner can flick the switch back and forth any time too.
>>110183838Isn't this literally 9/11 for troon modders?
who ever could be behind these hyperbole posts against privacy
>>110184040Jason citron early life
>>110183838how is this bad?
>>110183838remember when idiots were told "have your own server" and were given a proprietary client, and accepted it?
>>110184067what has an index of public posts to do with privacy?>join public server>enter your name in the search>get everything you ever wroteImagine shouting something on a public town square and then get angry when someone is allowed to hear what you shout.
>>110184055>>110184087>>110184082Because it's a slippery slopeFirst it's public and discoverable servers only, then it's private servers, then it's DMsIf the product is free, you're the product
>>110183838>say things in public internet>get indexedYou guys are really fucking retarded.PUBLIC SERVERSPUBLICFucking faggots all of you. Normally you'd complain everything is on shitcord and now you complain it's not.Kill yourselves.https://support.discord.com/hc/en-us/articles/206143407-How-do-I-set-up-a-private-server
>>110184083You could always screenshot everything said on any "muh open sores freedumb privacy" platforms
>>110184094See>>110184063
wtf is the difference between a public and private discord? they are the same, they are just divided between nsfw and sfwIts possible to find any discord even obscure ones made by some guy
>>110184094see >>110184091 >>110184034
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 platformtwo 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???
>>110184205If IRC's only problem is emoji support and people are leaving because of that, maybe they should add emoji support?
>>110184254Why? 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.
>>110184254irc 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.
>>110183838I 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 privacySo 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 buttonShould be "the compass icon under the join new server button"
>>110184277usually 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
>>110184107private servers are invite only. anyone can join public servers.>>110184382indexing is optional and only for public servers. this won't stop power tripping mods.
>>110184554i think i get it, ive seemingly only interacted with private ones then
>>110184055cause people on 4chan have accounts that can be linked with messages... the word retarded doesn't even begin to describe you.
>>1101847624chan 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!!!!11111Are you retarded or something?
>>110183838>post in a public server>wtf my messages are public how could this happen to me
>>110184094yes, lets open the training floodgates for spambot AIs that already pollute social media. what could possibly go wrong?
>>110184059Are you a CIA or FBI agent? Thanks for your service.
>>110184069There's nothing interesting written there
>>110184331So it's another tool in gemini search, so now when I'll look for some answers in google search it will not only show ai answer based on reddit post with one updoot but also from some cryptic unrelated discord server.
>>110184254pretty sure emoji comes with ascii/utf-8 now and you could irc it
>>110183838it's literally run by the feds m8>>110183869see above
>>110184819Reminds me of the early days of twitter where normalfaggots became enraged after finding out people could screenshot their public posts
>>110185475Look harder
>>110183838use this btwhttps://victornpb.github.io/undiscord/
The very reason i dislike discord is that it is impossible to find info online on some niche subject because it only gets discussed on one discord server since traditional forums are mostly dead. Great change
>>110184331>as far as i know it will only index posts that happen after december 2026, so old posts are safeguess I'll stop using discord by then then
>>110183838>>110183869Does nobody on /g/ know how to read fully? It's for PUBLIC servers that have it ENABLED + you have to ENABLE IT ON YOUR PROFILE. It's literally just Forums, you fucking retards.
>>110183869>Literally how is this even legalhave you phoned the discord message police?>>110183907>this is what forums were supposed to bediscord isn't a forum
>>110186037>discord isn't a forumIt now is, it evolves over time, Discord didn't even have Voice when it first released.You braindead darkies need to stop reading permarandom headlines and make rules within your low IQ head, go read the actual docs, this feature was spammed by people to be added.
>>110183950Well also this place isn’t even as transphobic as Twitter somehow. Like yeah here shit’s toxic but most of the transphobia I can just chalk up to “oh that’s probably just jeets saying that”. Twitter it’s like I can’t even tell if 90% of the posts are human or not
>>110186069>It now isit HAS forums *now*, but the majority of discord is NOT a forum>muh skin colourad hominem
>>110183838>but holy fuckYou have to be actually completely deaf and blind to be surprised by this. Just look up the Discord founders previous company, why he sold it and why he almost went to jail over it :)
>>110183838groomers itt upset
>>110183838This is a good thing because of how much forum knowledge got moved to discord servers and was not searchable. Now, as long as the server is public and discoverable that content will be available on search engines.
>>110186143here is an advice - groom less
>>110185981Actually I checked and it's enabled by default.
>>110184094you do know "private servers" aren't actually private, right?
I just miss when the internet would have abandoned Discord by now. Oh, the good ol', much Whiter, days.
Why can none of you faggots read? This is for public servers only, and it actually fixes one of the things you faggots have been bitching about for years.>reee why is everyone going into a hidden unindexed discord instead of a forum>>the very same public servers are now indexed and can be searched solving that exact issue>reee why are discord messages searchable now I HATE being able to find informationAgain it's PUBLIC servers only. Your private invite-only server you use while performatively counter-signaling the app on 4chan because you think it makes you fit in are not being indexed or made searchable on google.
>>110186225They're private to discord, unless you installed goon2shell or whatever on them
>>110186285ok but how does it help to conceal the grooming
>>110186304>They're private to discordYou do know the company logs every channel, every PM, every chat line, every attachment, every nick change, every IP, right?
>>110184277HEY HEY HEYDON'T POST HONEST SHIT IN HEREWE'RE SUPPOSED TO BE SHEEPLEMISINFORMATION IS KEY TO OUR DUMBFOUNDED SUCCESS>yes, they're for select servers who are in the Discovery program
>>110184091>>110184108>>110184034>BUTWHATABOUTTHISIMAGINARYSCENARIOIt's actually pathetic that this is how you schizophrenics cope with the fact that you're wrong about something.
>>110184205>muh irc>lose file embeds, video sharing, screen sharing, voice chat>gain having your IP address next to your username when you join or leave
Wait, why is /g/ even upset about Discord? None of you niggas have friends to use it with on a cozy ~30 people server.Are you malding because you have to rely on public server slop so you rely on spreading random misinformation? That's kinda sad no?
>>110186325Yes, that's why I said they're private *to* them, meaning they have full access to all of it, not you, unless you hack them
>>110186170Only in countries that do not have data protection laws
>>110186081>90% of the posts are human or notYeah trannies arent human neither jeets
>>110186305It never claimed to help to conceal anything. It's meant to make public conversations searchable on search engines.
>>110183838This was an inevitability because discord killed so many would-be forums, so now it’s becoming a forum
>>110186069It always was, and more. Back when they first started, their terms of use were already prepared so they could eventually sell all the users message history (including PMs). I screeched incessantly about it to everyone around me but no one listened and now people act surprised. Always the same story.Read the fucking terms of use.
>>110183907Zoomers felt like they were using the modern equivalent of IRC like Discord was some secret corner of the dark web. Now all their racist messages will be indelibly linked to their usernames for everyone to see.
>>110186397>implying /g/ and the rest of this dogshit site isn't full of paranoid reactionaries and shitposters these days
>>110183907I was born in 2003, but I really like internet forums/message boards, especially those with this aesthetic and structure, I wish I had experienced that era of the internet.
>>110184094Not even that.Public servers, which opted in to being discoverable, and within that server, it only applies to public channels (the ones that require no role to access it).Most servers ask for a bot verification or something and hide channels based on roles, so it doesn't apply to any of these.On top of that, a channel where this actually applies to, would mark in the header that it makes it public.And on top of all of that, what you say will not have your name attached to the public version.
>>110186037It's a forum without topic filtering so every message just gets jammed together like 1,000,000,000 people sharing a single stream of consciousness. Somehow this still manages to be unintelligible despite 98% of users having no thoughts of their own.>>110186285What servers are public? Every server is literally invite-only because you need an invite code. That means none of them are public.
>>110183838Zoomers don't know what internet forums are/were...
>>110186781The ones that are explicitly set to public/discoverable?
>>110186829They all know reddit
>>110183907>Click>Sign in to dickcord
>>110183838>privacyYou expect privacy from a PUBLIC server?I just can't understand zoomers.>>110183907>as a boomer I think this is good news. this is what forums were supposed to be: archivable and discoverableThis pretty much.
>>110186397I never saw a single Discord user with a healthy social life.Your "social circle" are troons on the internet.
>>110184091Anon I get that your heart is in the right place and you don't want people to be exploited like the idiots they are. I think you need to recognize a hard truth. Anyone using discord is NOT afraid of that slippery slope. Many times already there have been threats to privacy and increased surveillance on the platform but these lemmings still use it after screeching about how much worse it's getting and how they need an alternative. You can't prevent Discord from becoming more aggressive with their business, and at this point it's well known they're harvesting your data even if they do their best to suggest that they're being transparent about it. NOBODY ACTUALLY CARES. If they did, they'd have moved back to IRC.Best you can do is maybe convince one or two of your friends to watch their back. Unless an influencer explicitly tells them to jump ship they're never going to leave. This is the unavoidable truth of the zombie cattle populating these platforms.
KEK you can tell that the faggots here just look for new things to bitch about. Most tech support IRC channels have public logs and somehow that's not an issue there. Weird how that works. Obviously having publicly accessible messages is useful for tech support chat groups and similar places, and that's why IRC people have been doing it for decades. The people in this thread don't have any real problems in their life so they artificially make up things to bitch about.
>>110183838>NOOO MY CLOPPING ROLEPLAY IS GOING TO BE INDEXED BY GOOGLEGet fucked furfags and trannies. Too much useful info has been locked behind Discord channels.
If you stupid faggots want info to be secret but accessible, go make a Gopher server or something.
>>110183838>posting questionable or illegal content using an account linked to your personal emailbabby's first day on the internet? christ, zoomers are retarded
>>110184069>(((Jason citron)))Oy vey
>>110189127>Too much useful info has been locked behind Discord channels.Clopping roleplays?
>>110183838nice
>>110186375I miss moot
>>110186397I was forced to use Discord because my friend group switched there from mumble. Our server is pretty comfy I guess. I found more friends through Disord and they invited me to another small server which is also pretty comfy and filled with 4channers (and some redditors) which is nice. I couldn't imagine using the huge servers filled with a bunch of annoying cattle, though you kind of have to to make friends.>>110186387Any IRC server worth its salt as cloaked IPs now. Also there's a protocol that allows you to authenticate to a server before you even join a channel, so nothing escapes.
>>110183838>click search result to see the full message>serves a sign-in wall or, if you already have an account, automatically joins the server it's onWho is this even for?
>>110187719Fellow racist discord users from all over the world are better friends than the tranny infested normalfags I got to meet and spent time with IRL.
>>110184055search engines don't index 4chan posts because we are too naughty and hated by normies
>>110186081>probably just jeetslmaoX ywnbaw
>>110191820Google definitely indexes 4chan. I just googled OP's post with site:4chan.org attached and it found this thread. I think we probably don't rank high on trustworthiness or friendliness or something though, so Google doesn't put us at the top of the search query.
>>110188917Yeah it's just goyim smearing shit on the walls for a few days because Twitter / their favourite YouTuber told them to and then going right back to the usual routine
>>110184001considering how they do it in telegram id say from day 1hell you cant even download channels anymore cause you know even if it has legit porn someone has already uploaded cp on them
>>110184024But if people read instead of falling for engagement bait then there would be no site activity! Never mind pph being the lowest since 2020.
>"MUH PRIVACY!">still using Discord in 2k26Zoomers are so unserious
>>110183838Maybe if discord niggers don't hoard their shit behind "TO GET ACCESS TO THE DOWNLOAD CHANNELS, YOU MUST AGREE THAT TRANS RIGHTS IS HUMAN RIGHTS" humiliation ritual, I might turn a blind eye on their grooming horseshit.I hate them so fucking much.
>>110183838>>110183869Why do you care, you don't post anything strange, right? You had to upload your passport after all KEK.
>>110186285>haha oops due to a "securiry breach" all channels became public and were indexed, we are REALLY sorry ;P
>>110190584You were never "forced" to keep your "friends".You are as guilty as they are.
>>110192569this
>>110190584why arent you the one forcing your friends?
>>110186170It was off by default for me in the EU
I'm glad I deleted all of my post history and started self censoring over a year ago.
>>110184024so only for 1000+ member servers? how many are those? meh
>>110192594in Germany, it is on by default
>>110193014>in Germany, we don't care about privacymaybe it's because I had all the other data collection toggles off already?
>>110183838>public server>privacyfuck off retardI for one am happy that the questions from my support server will appear on google so I don't have to answer them 20 times
>>110193043Just pin them retard
Chat is this real? Grok is this real? I'm so FUCKING GLAD that I barely use discord and whenever I've used it, it was only private messages.
Am I the only one thrilled with this change?I hate this platform and I despise it with every fiber of my being when some installation instructions can only be accessed by joining a Discord server nobody cares about (looking at you RiiConnect24, but at least it's no longer the case now).I also don't want to join random Discord servers just so I can find an answer to a question I could have found on a better place, such as an online FAQ, a forum or just Reddit.
>>110190584Rather than join I left and conversely lost most of my friends, but considering what happened to some of them in the years since then maybe I dodged a bullet there.
>>110183838maybe now I can finally find an answer without discord suggesting words that have absolutely no relation to what I'm searching for>look for "finisher">get results for finish, finished, finishing>search for conversion>results for conversationthose words don't even overlap in their root origins! what the fuck is discord doing?
>>110193735What happened to them?
>>110190569wasn’t he in the epstein files?
>>110183838Good.
>>110183972On what grounds, pray tell?
only child groomers use discord
>>110194610at least a couple of them trooned out (one of is? was? married), the others degenerated into [spoiler]speedrunning[/spoiler]
This is a GOOD thingDiscord replaced forums and made it fucking impossible to find information about niche programs because you have to join their discord
>>110183907>I've sent you a DM :^)
>>110183876>Niggas are definitely scanning for no no words and wrongthink.>he doesn't spew antisemitism everywhere he goes at this pointNGMI. I've been calling out kikery openly in public since COVID and I'm sure there are anons here who've been at it longer. at this point they're just OPENLY stating they plan to kill and enslave you. might as well tell them to fuck themselves back. hell, I live in a small town in the great plains and I've heard people out here (who aren't worthless miggers) openly calling out the government as just being israeli cocksleeves.keeping you quiet and in fear is their number one tool. don't let them silence you.
>>110183838Are you dumb? They had randoms logging all of their public messages from absolutely everywhere already.It's only natural they make this move, if they are being honest about privacy.
>>110186957"invite-only" are also effectively public, if anyone posted the link, bots have joined and logged everything.
>>110193295It is real but it's a much smaller deal than everyone thinks. Pisscord (intentionally?) left all the explanation in the fine print. It only affects discoverable servers, which are servers that specifically selected to be discoverable. They also need to have above 1k members. It only affects like 60-80k servers, which I imagine has to be a tiny percentage.
I posted another dick pic anyway.
>>110193735One of the biggest things I've learned in life is that your politics and being right about them is not worth losing family and friends.
>>110200353So you chose to lose yourself?

>>110183838>needs to be a server that has opted in to being descoverable >needs to be a server wirh over 1000 users >users and servers can STILL opt-outLiterally a good thing, we aren't joining your shitty discord server to read project docs.
