But discord servers aren't considered "public spaces", hence the concept of an "invite".
This is akin to someone revealing they've been going to private parties and secretly recording everything.
It might not be illegal, but it's definitely not polite.
- fwip 1y agoThe researchers clarify that it's only those servers that are listed in the discovery tab - you don't need an invite link to join those. > In this regard, this paper introduces the most extensive Discord dataset available to date, comprising 2,052,206,308 messages from 4,735,057 unique users across 3,167 servers – approximately 10% of the servers listed in Discord’s Discovery tab, a feature designed to highlight public servers that users can join.
- pavel_lishin 1y agoThese servers do seem to be public, in the sense that anyone can join without explicitly being invited. It sounds more like they went to the mall, picked 10% of the stores, and recorded conversations taking place in those stores.
- spencerflem 1y agoright, which would be awful.
- lolinder 1y agoEh, even that is too strong. Discord already recorded the conversations and makes them publicly available to anyone who joins the server at any point in the future. Anyone who thought they were having an ephemeral conversation that wouldn't ever be seen again by anyone has never tried scrolling back on a Discord server.
