Some Discord Server Messages Are About To Show Up In Web Search Results

You know the old internet lament about how forums have disappeared, making it harder to find answers for your very specific sicko tech support questions? It seems like Discord is trying to do something about that in what sounds like the worse way possible: by making messages in certain Discord servers searchable on the web. Let me attempt to mitigate the full-body revulsion you likely just felt by explaining how it works. This new feature goes into effect next month on November 16th. That’s not comforting, huh? Okay, well, it’s opt-out by default! Nope, that isn’t much better either.
