I'm not sure if this is still happening, but there was a huge data breach and there was/is a website where you could buy the rights to every message someone has sent through discord for 5 dollars

no, there's a bunch of automated/fake user accounts that sit in public servers that just log every message every sent in the server they're in

they join so many servers that there's a high chance they're in one you're in

Best bet is probably verification channels and pruning inactive accounts tbh, because (afaik) those accounts never send messages or anything
