here's the invite link for trustybot specifically

2018-02-17 17:59:48 UTC  

Sweet! Because we seriously need a way to archive these memes, and I'm tempted to help add the function.

2018-02-17 17:59:54 UTC  

oh

2018-02-17 17:59:57 UTC  

already archiving

2018-02-17 18:00:01 UTC  

!!!

2018-02-17 18:00:08 UTC  

to where?!

2018-02-17 18:00:12 UTC  

locally right now

2018-02-17 18:00:27 UTC  

oh okay - how big's the archive so far?

2018-02-17 18:00:27 UTC  

I could throw it into a mega drive though

2018-02-17 18:00:47 UTC  

764 MB

2018-02-17 18:01:01 UTC  

Yeah, that's plenty small enough to go on MEGA

2018-02-17 18:01:24 UTC  

problems arise where discord devs have to keep all user data stored on a secure drive

2018-02-17 18:01:29 UTC  

MEGA may break those terms

2018-02-17 18:01:36 UTC  

they're stored here though which is secure

2018-02-17 18:01:53 UTC  

"secure" as in...?

2018-02-17 18:02:07 UTC  

Secure as in I am working to ensure this server won't be shut down for any reason

2018-02-17 18:03:04 UTC  

Huh. Alright. Well, I'd love to mirror it to my Nextcloud, just to make some redundancy and get it out to other posters.

2018-02-17 18:03:30 UTC  

yeah again the problem being in order to run a discord bot the "user data" must be stored on a secured drive

2018-02-17 18:03:38 UTC  

so while I can back it up I cannot repost it

2018-02-17 18:03:41 UTC  

without user consent

2018-02-17 18:03:44 UTC  

@TrustyJAID maybe i could use that pi cluster of mine 😉

2018-02-17 18:03:45 UTC  

ffff

2018-02-17 18:04:03 UTC  

It is considered safe on the discord server according to discord though

2018-02-17 18:04:42 UTC  

so much cleaning to do

2018-02-17 18:04:43 UTC  

in other words

2018-02-17 18:05:03 UTC  

download/hack up the bot, go make my own archiver

2018-02-17 18:05:29 UTC  

that's the problem you'd be better off manually downloading the images by hand

2018-02-17 18:05:42 UTC  

using a selfbot to download the images is also against the TOS and may result in account termination

2018-02-17 18:06:02 UTC  

and again I have the bot already archiving stuff but I am not allowed to share it

2018-02-17 18:06:27 UTC  

@TrustyJAID you can just mail me a flash drive 😉

2018-02-17 18:06:35 UTC  

because if someone chose to delete their message I would also have to delete that message from the archive

2018-02-17 18:06:58 UTC  

it just gets really complicated

2018-02-17 18:07:02 UTC  

yeahhh fff

2018-02-17 18:07:07 UTC  

kinda makes me wonder why we're using discord at all them

2018-02-17 18:07:25 UTC  

is there a better platform?

2018-02-17 18:07:27 UTC  

it's a great platform for many things but these are the rules we all agreed to when we joined

2018-02-17 18:07:44 UTC  

there really isn't a better or easier platform to work with at the moment

2018-02-17 18:07:52 UTC  

and most if not all platforms abide by the same rules

2018-02-17 18:07:53 UTC  

matrix/riot, where you're only beholden to the rules of the server owner

2018-02-17 18:08:10 UTC  

at that rate you might as well setup an IRC
