BlockBeats news, on October 28, Discord announced that it will allow search engines like Google to index chat content from select large public servers. The new policy applies to “Discoverable Servers” with at least 1,000 members, listed in Discord’s public directory, and accessible without an invitation.
Starting November 16, these servers will receive public web pages that may include summaries of discussions from public channels; starting mid-December, individual messages from eligible channels may appear in search results. Historical messages posted before the feature launches will not be included, and public messages will not display usernames or profile pictures.
Users can go to 'User Settings → Data & Privacy' to disable the option that displays discoverable channel messages on the web; this setting will apply to all discoverable servers they've joined. Exiting and re-entering after the update will only protect messages sent after exiting; to remove previously public messages, users must delete them in Discord, though search engine caches may retain them for some time.
This feature is not available to underage users and is disabled by default in regions such as the EU, UK, Canada, and South Korea. Server administrators can also prevent messages from appearing on public web pages and search results entirely or for specific channels by navigating to "Server Settings → Web Presence," and can separately disable discussion summaries.
