This clearly breaks discord TOS.

I did consent for discord to have my data, I did NOT consent to you having my data.

The discord TOS clearly state: > Our services might also provide you with access to other people’s content. You may not use this content without that person’s consent, or as allowed by law.

As I was not informed of the usage BEFORE it was taken, I could neither opt in nor opt out.

GDPR clearly states, even in the case of "legitimate interest" I have to be informed.

I only found this randomly, but if I hadn't, I had no idea of the data validation happening, so I couldn't opt out.

Technically, cool project. Legally, not so cool.

Unfortunately TOS consist of words and words cannot constrain technical affordances. There has been a black market of scraped discord data for years (it was even sold on the public web at spy.pet). Stuff like this is probably the only way people will wake up to the realities of digital privacy.

Hopefully this will also wake people up to the issues with putting so much information (announcements, support, documentation, etc) behind a closed platform, thus making efforts like this invaluable for the future.
