## Summary

Discord says Discoverable Servers with at least 1,000 members will get web pages indexed by search engines, with server descriptions and conversation summaries from public channels, starting mid-December 2026. Admins can opt out in Server settings > Web presence, and users can block their messages in User settings > Data and Privacy. Direct messages, group chats, and private servers remain private.
