Discord is making public chats searchable on Google: How to opt out
Summary
Discord will make pages and, from mid-December, eligible messages from public Discoverable Servers searchable online. The change affects servers with at least 1,000 members that are open to join; older messages are excluded, and usernames and avatars will not be shown. Users can opt out, while server administrators can exclude channels or whole servers. The feature is disabled by default for users in several regions and for teens. Critics cite privacy concerns, while supporters say search indexing will make community knowledge easier to find. Deleted messages may still remain in search engine caches temporarily.
