Noticed that the gif I posted earlier resulted in an image, so I've posted it on imgur.

The point was to show that you can ban a bot (or any account for that matter) even when it's not in a server using an ID. Effectively "pre-banning" the account.

Looks like I accidentally uploaded this as an image, not a gif.

However, I think it's important we have an accurate understanding of changes platforms make, and especially not to engage in fearmongering because when serious concern is justified people will be exhausted.
And also, totally open to changing my mind if someone else has better evidence.

Don't get me wrong, I really dislike the addition to Discord, even outside of me disliking AI, the platform continues to get bloated and cluttered more and more with changes that were very likely designed to look more appealing to investors.

Disabling outside apps doesn't "stop" people from using DomoAI or similar plugins, and there are fun /legitimate reasons to have external apps left like image generators, calendar apps, music apps, etc.

DomoAI is like the rest of the plugins, using it is essentially uploading (from Discord) or request files to a separate service and having it post content on your behalf. If you're annoyed by it (I absolutely am) you have the ability to *only hide* the Plugin result.

On DomoAI's site, they say they don't use images and data that you haven't provided to them. But you don't have to take DomoAi's word for it, they don't have the functionality to be able to "scrape a server" in the first place, per Discord's Documentation.

DomoAI is not a "server" bot like Dyno, Mudae, Rythm, etc. and is only an external app. It does have an ID like every other Discord Bot, because all discords bots do. So banning the account is fruitless; it's an *external* app.

Here's an example video of me kicking a bot out of a server, and grabbing it's ID, and then banning it (when it's no longer in the server) via ID.

Discord is not "silently adding the bot." You would need serious evidence to prove that, because showing an image of you banning the bot's ID does not mean it was in the server.

I want to clarify what I believe is misinformation. I'm open to being correct (Especially because I don't trust AI companies like everyone else) but I see claims being put forward without any evidence.
