problems arise where discord devs have to keep all user data stored on a secure drive
MEGA may break those terms
they're stored here though which is secure
"secure" as in...?
Secure as in I am working to ensure this server won't be shut down for any reason
Huh. Alright. Well, I'd love to mirror it to my Nextcloud, just to make some redundancy and get it out to other posters.
yeah again the problem being in order to run a discord bot the "user data" must be stored on a secured drive
so while I can back it up I cannot repost it
without user consent
@TrustyJAID maybe i could use that pi cluster of mine 😉
ffff
It is considered safe on the discord server according to discord though
so much cleaning to do
in other words
download/hack up the bot, go make my own archiver
that's the problem you'd be better off manually downloading the images by hand
using a selfbot to download the images is also against the TOS and may result in account termination
and again I have the bot already archiving stuff but I am not allowed to share it
@TrustyJAID you can just mail me a flash drive 😉
because if someone chose to delete their message I would also have to delete that message from the archive
yeahhh fff
kinda makes me wonder why we're using discord at all them
is there a better platform?
it's a great platform for many things but these are the rules we all agreed to when we joined
there really isn't a better or easier platform to work with at the moment
and most if not all platforms abide by the same rules
matrix/riot, where you're only beholden to the rules of the server owner
at that rate you might as well setup an IRC
sheeit good point
regardless, this is all far too restrictive, and makes it damned difficult to work with
I mean just don't break the rules and you're fine there's nothing here that is against the rules and if it is I'll be deleting it as necessary or providing the correct approach to ensuring it's safe. The restrictions are on bot developers for getting permission so I'd need permission from over 900 people here to upload their images somewhere else 😂 but there's no problem with you as an individual to repost it elsewhere
except that I as an individual can't just log in to my own user account with a selfbot and grab the images on my own to repost them elsewhere
you can but you risk getting your account terminated and losing all access to discord entirely
it's dumb but that's how discord has had to approach the selfbot problem of people spamming invites and other bad things on discord
if there's rules against it, I really can't
sure, i can go and hand-download the images then
yeah people say use it at your own risk but I've run into people who have had their accounts disabled for using selfbots as of late
aaaand then micromanage it all myself
unfortunately yeah that'sthe only way to go about it
Well, looks like I have some elbow grease to put in. Thank you @TrustyJAID!
