Finding good Discord servers relevant to your interests can be tough unless you sift through Discord’s own database or get an invite to one.
The popular messaging and chat service is looking to solve that problem with an obvious yet big change to the platform. Discord will now make public servers discoverable through Google Search.
On Tuesday, Discord announced that starting Nov. 16, 2026, all Discoverable Servers will receive a Server Web Page. These public Server Web Pages will include summaries of discussions happening in that public server. In addition, starting in mid-December, some messages within these servers will be made publicly accessible on the Server Web Page. There will be no need for visitors to join the server or even have a Discord account in order to see these messages.
No-no, don’t get me wrong. I’m not shaming people for using it.
All I’m saying is that they’re a pretty bad company with a pretty bad privacy. There definitely might be cases where one can or have to use them, but expecting high privacy standards or other kind of decency from them is pretty much naive.
So by using them, and by accepting their terms, one basically says “here’s my data, do whatever you want with it” — and they do. And so such news are pretty much an expected behaviour.
