Of course there's an enterprise plan for the Feds and AI trainers

Internet-scraping outfit Spy.pet claims to have harvested more than four billion public messages made by nearly 620 million users on more than 14,000 Discord chat servers – and is selling access to this trove.

The website presents the data it’s collected in several ways. Each known user has a profile, which contains all known aliases, pronouns, connected accounts to other platforms such as Steam and GitHub, Discord servers joined, and public messages. If you wanted to quite literally spy on a Discord user or users, Spy.pet lets you do that, for a fee.

    Hmm they could have used that for good and solved Discords inherent un-searchability and un-archivability (Like old school forums used to have)

    But no, they choose evil instead :(

      Forums need to come back, I die a little inside whenever I see a Discord server linked for support. Ugh.

      Yea no clue why the fuck people jumped to discord over Lemmy or old school forums. It’s a shit medium for that style of postings.
