Hey,

Thanks for your suggestions. However, this does not work for a few reasons:

1. Joining servers is protected by increasingly difficult to solve captchas that have no commercially available solver. This is not a battle I want to fight.

2. There are a LOT of CSAM rings that spam invite links in public servers. This is also not something I want to go anywhere near.

Moreover, after the fallout of spy.pet, I think it is very important that users are able to opt out.

It is arguably more important that the world doesn't lose as much information as Discord now contains, or leave it gated behind logins and captchas and whatever other nonsense each server implements.
