Discord 于周二宣布，将使其公共服务器中的部分对话可被搜索，并更容易在互联网上找到。此次新更新针对的是“可发现服务器”中的对话，即管理员已将其设为符合平台“服务器发现”功能显示条件的公共 Discord 服务器。
Discord announced on Tuesday it will make some conversations in its public servers searchable and easier to find on the internet. The new update targets conversations in “Discoverable Servers,” public Discord servers that administrators have made eligible to appear in the platform’s Server Discovery feature.
其目的是帮助人们找到可能原本埋没在 Discord 对话中的有用信息，并将其触达更广泛的受众。
The aim is to help people find useful information that might otherwise remain buried in Discord conversations to a wider audience.
据 Discord 称，超过 6.3 万个可发现服务器承载着从游戏策略、粉丝圈子到语言学习和小众兴趣等各类讨论。通过使部分对话可被搜索，Discord 希望将其社区的影响力延伸至平台之外。
According to Discord, more than 63,000 Discoverable Servers host discussions on everything from gaming strategies and fandoms to language learning and niche interests. By making some of these conversations searchable, Discord hopes to extend the reach of its communities beyond the platform itself.
此举也迎合了传统互联网论坛的吸引力，用户可通过搜索公开可访问的讨论来寻找答案。游戏社区可借此吸引人们关注攻略，开发者可让技术建议触达更多人，内容创作者也能在不完全依赖 Discord 内部发现工具的情况下吸引新受众。
The move also taps into the appeal of traditional internet forums, where users can find answers by searching through publicly accessible discussions. Gaming communities could draw attention to walkthroughs, developers could reach more people with technical advice, and content creators could attract new audiences without relying solely on Discord’s internal discovery tools.
从 11 月 16 日起，每个可发现服务器都将拥有自己的网页，其中可能展示活跃公共频道讨论的自动生成摘要。从 12 月中旬开始，公共频道中的精选消息也可能出现在搜索引擎结果中。
Starting November 16, every Discoverable Server will have its own web page, which may feature automated summaries of discussions in active public channels. Beginning in mid-December, selected messages from public channels may also appear in search engine results.
服务器管理员可选择纳入哪些频道，而个人成员可选择退出，使其消息不被公开搜索。发布的消息将不显示用户名或头像。私人服务器、私信和群组私信不在范围内。
Server administrators will be able to choose which channels are included, while individual members can opt out of having their messages made publicly searchable. Published messages will not display usernames or avatars. Private servers, direct messages, and group direct messages are excluded.
该宣布引发了关于隐私的抨击。部分用户担心对话会暴露给远超原始语境的受众，认为在公共 Discord 服务器发帖并不一定意味着用户希望其消息能在更广泛的互联网上被发现。
The announcement has sparked backlash over privacy. Some users are concerned about exposing conversations to audiences far beyond their original context, arguing that posting in a public Discord server does not necessarily mean users want their messages to be discoverable across the wider internet.
其他人则对这些对话是否可能被用于训练 AI 模型表示担忧。类似的争论曾在 Reddit 数据共享做法和 AI 训练的争议中出现，当时用户质疑他们的帖子和评论是否应在未经明确同意或补偿的情况下被用于训练 AI。
Others have raised concerns about whether these conversations could be used to train AI models. Similar arguments emerged during controversies surrounding Reddit’s data-sharing practices and AI training, when users questioned whether their posts and comments should be used to train AI without their explicit consent or compensation.
Discord 表示，用户可以在设置中管理偏好，而服务器管理员保留对哪些频道参与的控制权。值得注意的是，由于法律限制，在欧盟、英国、加拿大、巴西、澳大利亚和韩国，使消息可被发现的选项默认处于关闭状态。青少年用户也被排除在该功能之外。
Discord says users can manage their preferences in settings, while server administrators retain control over which channels participate. Notably, the option to make messages discoverable is turned off by default in the EU, UK, Canada, Brazil, Australia, and South Korea because of legal restrictions. Teen users are also excluded from the feature.
