this myth is over a year old at this point (it started when discord introduced "external apps," which means you can add a bot to your account and use its commands in a server if it allows using external apps) but it must be said that this is Not True. discord has not secretly added any bots to your server. you are able to ban any account from a server if you use the ID, regardless of whether it's ever actually joined.
It also just betrays a deep ignorance of how tech works. If discord wants to read your logs, they will have a way to read your logs. No need to put bots into your servers for that, they own the platform you chat on do you think they need workarounds?
(general you, not directed at you op)
I've also seen the claim that these are non-discord developed bots reading your servers messages, and that is just absurd. The most valuable thing discord has is it's users and their messages, they're not going to let a random bot scrape it all out from under them, they want to sell it themselves.
