Yea all major channels used to run logger bots for themselves at least.
Then there were a few "unofficial" ones that just came in and lurked without telling anyone they were logging everything and publishing it on the internet. A bit of a breach of trust IMO.
- cassianoleal 2y agoThese had always been public channels. Saying it's a breach of trust that an unofficial archive exists feels a bit heavy-handed. It's like complaining about the web archive.
- theshrike79 2y agoI'm not talking about a massive channel like #c++ or something, more like a ~40-50 person channel, where someone just joins and appears to lurk. Unknown to everyone they're logging content, grabbing URLs and posting it all online. It's like archive.org logging in to a private forum with an account and scraping the content for public sharing.
