    Why does everything need to be free searchable on the internet?

    Call me crazy but I don’t want my group chats publicly available on the internet. Discord feels… private. I know they have access to all the data, but it’s not like a public website, forum, or even an open irc chatroom. It’s my walled garden to chat with friends, stream games, game chat, post dumb memes, etc.

    That’s like saying signal is cancer to free and open internet. Or hell, email because it’s not indexed and searchable?

    I don’t get the sentiment.

      people don’t just use discord for private communication, and that’s what should be searchable. also, you do realize that discord doesn’t feature any encryption and some people can read your “private” messages, right?
