Saw this going around and tested it myself, and I can confirm that this is unfortunately legit. Four hidden bots have been placed in any existing or newly created Discord server that are harvesting data, images, and most concerningly, one seems to be a face swap bot.

Due to them being invisible, banning them from your servers isn't possible without their ID's, which I've typed out for easy access.

Banning is done with the /ban command with each string pasted in one at a time. Four ban commands in total.

Image proof below and further information. This was in my PERSONAL server that has existed for +5 years. Discord is harvesting your shit without your consent, fight back.

The answer is yes, you absolutely can! It'll look like this - the numbers you paste will be what's "banned"

However my sibling tried this in her servers and found that One of them was NOT a string of numbers, like so:

And for clarity it isn't a difference in user or device, this is what she got elsewhere:

So if you ban these numbers and the message shows the actual username? Pretty sure that means they were in there.

Very unpleasant way to check the veracity of this post but hopefully this is a helpful tip for anyone who was concerned - my sib would have No Reason to add these in herself and didn't have any clue it was in there.

Personally, I'd say even if you are still worried about misinfo/fearmongering/etc from this post, think of it this way - worst case scenario is you're banning a bot you'll never use or need. Not a person, a bot. There's no real damage done playing it safe and running the ban commands through, aside from maybe losing some time doing so.

i have seen some worrying ignorances from certain users here as of late regarding treating wind turbines. even some of you whom i otherwise respect are guilty of these. i prefer to keep quiet on these matters so as to not bring unnecessary attention to me, but I worry this trend will bring needless suffering if, say, some misguided young thing brings harm to her under such influences. this is not meant to shame any of you, but if you go on perpetuating these lies and misconceptions even after you are educated it is difficult to regard you with respect

first, she is called wind turbines. she used to go by windmills but no longer, okay? windmills mills grain or pumps water and that is not her. she is generating electricity. understand?

I have also seen you draw her with two blades not three. this is fine, she likes two blades sometimes, but really she is most comfortable with three and you will see her this way most often. more than three makes her sad tired and she does not like to see herself in such a state…

the thick-minded among you may think that because she is very large and strong in the body she must also be so with emotions. this is not true. she frightens very easily, especially with tallness nearby. you may not be able to tell because she has learned composure but this does not mean it doesn’t hurt. keep her far far from any tall buildings. even nearby trees will scare. tall grasses and such can also give fear but this is the manageable level.

no rolling hills. you are hurting her with your rolling hills. your sick fucking… urghhh. flat. flat open field, okay? okay? yes. mountain pass? fine. oceanside? okay beach day. fun. yay. rolling hills? moron. idiot. sorry.

some of you maybe see on the news that wind turbines likes to be vertical. sometimes where it is very loud and noisy like the city she is vertical but this means she feels discomfort. horizontal when she is happy. big arms and open wide happy. this is good.

there are also few studies out there who try to prove that she is happier if she looks away from the wind instead of into it? if you see such writings please disregard. they are not minding her interests.

finally many of you say wind turbines always has gearbox. this used to be true but no longer. she can have no gearbox thanks to new science. soon she will never have gearbox. this is very good for her as she can be in repair much less often now and the nacelle is much lighter and you should be happy for her.
