I’m working on a project where I need to find out which public Discord servers a specific user is part of. I have their Discord ID, but manually checking each server would take forever.
Does anyone know if there’s already a bot or tool that can do this automatically? I’m thinking something that could join public servers and scan for the user’s ID would be super helpful.
If nothing like this exists, I might try to make one myself. But I figured I’d check here first to see if anyone has come across something similar or has any ideas on how to approach this.
As someone who’s been in the Discord development scene for a while, I can tell you that creating such a tool would be walking a fine line ethically and legally. Discord’s API intentionally limits this kind of functionality to protect user privacy. I’ve seen similar projects get shut down pretty quickly.
Instead, you might want to consider building a tool that allows users to voluntarily share their server memberships. This could be a bot that users invite to their servers, which then compiles a list of shared servers for consenting participants. It’s a more user-friendly approach that doesn’t risk violating Discord’s terms of service.
Remember, respecting user privacy is crucial in today’s digital landscape. It’s always better to err on the side of caution when dealing with personal data.
yo dude, that’s a sketchy idea. discord’s pretty strict bout privacy n stuff. maybe think bout why u need this info? there’s prolly a better way to do whateva ur tryna do without creepin on peeps. if u really need it, ask users to share that info voluntarily instead. safer for everyone ya kno
I’d be cautious about developing a tool like that. While it might seem useful for your project, it could potentially be used for stalking or harassment if it fell into the wrong hands. Discord’s API has restrictions to prevent mass server scanning for good reasons. Instead, you might consider alternative approaches that respect user privacy and Discord’s terms of service. Perhaps focus on analyzing public data or communities where users voluntarily share their server affiliations. Remember, just because something is technically possible doesn’t mean it’s ethical or legal to implement. Maybe rethink the core goals of your project and see if there’s a more privacy-friendly way to achieve them.
