Remember those. You are missing a massive supported use case for Discord. Creating communities. Discord is designed to support servers with hundreds of thousands of users in them if not more. A public discord server with 100k people in it isn't a private conversation with your buddies.

Large private communities are just as valid a form of communication.

Corporate intranets for example, are exactly this. Nobody wants those to be publicly indexable.
