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.

    I use it for professional and personal things. Friends, family, official forms like for work, etc. and it’s 5 characters, readable, no numbers. I could legit sell it for >$1000 and it doesn’t get any spam beyond shit from my CC offering me deals and other stuff that makes a tangible amount of sense to be on my main email.

    But like, not my Lemmy or former reddit account(s), or Facebook (yes family, etc)…

    I even have low value Gmail accts that I use for like… Testing scams or something.

      Testing scams

      Any non-scams yet? Or is it safe to assume anything that looks like a scam, is one?

        Nah I’ve found plenty of non-scams. Like $1 VSTs on some random guys domain (used a visa gift card), stuff like that.

        But yeah lots of scams.
