Researchers published a massive database of more than 2 billion Discord messages that they say they scraped using Discord’s public API. The data was pulled from 3,167 servers and covers posts made between 2015 and 2024, the entire time Discord has been active.
Though the researchers claim they’ve anonymized the data, it’s hard to imagine anyone is comfortable with almost a decade of their Discord messages sitting in a public JSON file online. Separately, a different programmer released a Discord tool called “Searchcord” based on a different data set that shows non-anonymized chat histories.
you get it to work? i didnt have time to get it working in both directions. matrix to discord worked fine but not the other way.
I’m not entirely sure what you’re asking here. I do not use any bridge between the two, but rather searched in separate communities for my answer. Would’ve been lovely if I could just use a search engine to search indexed forums or so, but since for some reason chat clients have taken the place of forums that’s just not doable.
I’d like to move away from Discord but sadly a bunch of friends still use it. I haven’t read up enough about the bridge thing to figure out if it actually serves a purpose I’d be interested in or not.
