Discord To Put Public Chats On Pages Search Engines Can Show via @sejournal, @MattGSouthern

Discord's most public servers will each have a web page that may carry AI summaries and some messages search engines can show.

Discord announced that every one of its most public communities will have a web page starting Nov. 16, and those pages may show AI-written summaries of their public conversations. From mid-December, some members’ messages may also show up on those pages and in Google and other search engines.

The announcement covers what Discord calls Discoverable Servers, which it says number more than 63,000. They’re public communities that anyone can join without an invite. To qualify, a server needs at least 1,000 members, has to be at least eight weeks old and must meet Discord’s activity and safety requirements. Summaries and messages are both on by default, and admins choose which public channels take part.

Admins have until Nov. 16 to change these new channel settings before summaries can begin showing up.

Members are allowed to opt out of having their posts display on public pages (in some regions, this is the default).

On Nov. 16, all Discoverable Servers will have a Server Web Page. Discoverable Servers have already had the ability to create an optional server web page; others which don’t currently do so will be assigned a default page based upon their current server profile. Discord’s help page says anyone can view one, and search engines like Google can show it.

Those pages may also carry Channel Summaries, which Discord’s admin help page says it creates using AI from recent discussions in public channels.
