Discord to make public server chats searchable starting November 16

  • —Only Discoverable Servers with at least 1,000 members are affected; private channels and DMs are excluded
  • —Usernames and avatars are hidden, but AI summaries may be inaccurate and mislead outsiders
  • —Member opt-outs do not remove already published messages or block summaries, which admins control
  • —Lending protocol Morpho set its Discord channels to read-only after repeated scams
Why it matters: Exposing server conversations widens scammers' reach into crypto communities and raises phishing risks for projects relying on Discord support channels.
