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.
Does anyone know what kind of naming pattern or bot identification methods we could use? I belong to a small public server that’s there to serve a public need.
You could probably have a verification system thing that I've seen some public servers have where you have to complete some action before getting access to the actual channels.
"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.
Ah, thanks! My server is a community server but isn't eligible for discovery, so... I guess we are safe?
Are you running a server which has a "community server" badge on it or using disboard?
