In Hyper – Sell Memberships to Discord and TelegramWhile I'm sure this is just their way of validating their current market value after their last cash raise. Assuming its real this might actually be a good thing, at least on the technical front. For all the talent at Discord and their impressive efforts as far as core product... their basically non-existent privacy between users is a disturbing joke, and while I want to be polite, i'm just going to quote myself from a comment on the github issue here. https://github.com/discord/discord-api-docs/issues/1393

velopers lack of respect for the developers who use their api funny? Standards based api specifications makes it easier for everyone to work with their API. Their API documentation isn’t translated, they have no machine readable API specification to make up for the lack of translated documentation for people who speak languages other than English.
> I am disappointed because this is at odds with their professed goals of being for everyone. Apparently they are only for everyone if you’re a user/customer. Developers better read English and have enough spare time to implement their api from scratch... And before someone mentions their community libraries, I’d argue that being required to use those to get anything practical done, because the official API isn’t specified well enough to just use directly with standard tools, is just a further disappointment.
Discord does have this, just not publicly available yet. It's in active development still, see ex. https://github.com/discord/discord-api-docs/pull/2118
