As someone who owns/moderates a few discord servers of varying size: yeah. Any discord server with competent-enough staff will have a bot that logs deleted messages. Usually in a staff-only channel. It’s great for moderation! So please do not send your address in big servers- the staff can see it. Will they use it? Doubtful. But the staff, and anyone with a 3rd party logger, can see it. Hell, I log *edited* messages too in my servers. Stay safe.

For no apparent reason, just a small reminder that EU citizens can request their personal data from any company in the world, including requesting the purpose/legal basis for collection, the storage duration, data sources, how they are processing it etc. They also have the right to erasure, where they can force the company to delete most of your personal data (except for some very special legal exceptions, but chat messages etc shouldn't fall under that) So, if you were to see some analytics website in a random video, that could have personal data about you (usernames count), you could send them such a data request and after they answered, you could then use your right to erasure afterwards (or at the same time, but then they can first delete your data and send you an empty response the the data request, making it easier for them).

[@YouHaveTrouble]

So, news flash, you don't need a bot to do that. When someone deletes the message on discord, discord server sends a "delete message with this id" message to all clients connected. Any client modification or self-bot can just ignore that request, heck, even if was respected, message logging happened the moment message was sent, it doesn't matter what happens later, it's already in a database. Discord chats are public. Treat it as public space, don't ever post personal data on it.

[@maiyannah]

Yeah, deletions are a request, not a requirement of the client and the server can't really make the client have it deleted.

[@carborane818]

This problem is pretty much impossible to solve on Discord's end. There's no way to stop self-bots that does not infringe on the privacy of general users. You can't just tell all users to show their ID, and if you did that anyways, I'd bet that the average self-bot user actually has more IDs than the average user. Discord does encourage people to share a lot of info by nature, since it tends to engage people in real-time conversations where you have less time to think over what you say, but people need to realize this and just think more carefully rather than complaining to management who can do practically nothing.

[@Janna13011]

Its likely that almost all public servers(and a lot of private servers) already have logs. How much they log is upto the server but almost everything is. In my private servers, some of them have logs, others have transparent logs where everyone can see - but if something went against someones privacy, id delete from logs. Generally we tend to avoid things that are private information. Like when someone sends their whole address in a server, another member may use to dox it. But I believe in my team that they willl not use the information for malicious perposes and disregard it. Personal safety is important guys. If you think youll regret sending it, even a tiny sliver, sdont send it

[@Void_Dragon]

As someone who ran a python/PHP bot about 15 years ago, this is nothing new. I had a chat bot that not only let me see who said what in a command prompt, live, but also recorded it to a txt file. As creepy as that sounds, I used it to debug chat commands such as Spin the Bottle, IdleRPG, room greeter and a prototype where it would try to have a decent coverstation (never finished or worked out, that last one). As online safety is concerned, just always assume any bot is always recording everything, to drop in on you or otherwise.

Also, people who know how to program can make a script which connects to Discord as a client and saves messages. From there, you can do whatever you want. Heck, you could even make your own gateway to chat with people just by using the script or create commands to listen to and send messages accordingly when a command is sent from another user. The limits are essentially non-existent with a custom client that you program yourself.

Thing is... discord "fixing" the bots viewing messages in discovery isn't a "win". Since normal user accounts can view it, so can bots using normal user accounts. And discords ToS will do absolutely nothing to solve this because even IF discord actually bothered banning people for this, they could have a new account up and running in 30 seconds and continue message logging. To fix this discord would need to change discovery, and also implement captcha options for server join... and they won't do it because if it doesn't make them big money they don't care.

[@something4922]
