I’m not sure if it’s fare to bundle together Discourse, and Discord data, all in the same bucket of publicly accessible data. They are different things.
Discourse data is indeed public, this post I’m writing right now, is public data, in the sense that it can be accessed and indexed without any restrictions, through this link.
Messages on open Discord channels are not public data, in the sense that they can’t be accessed or indexed without a Discord account that is on the Arbitrum Discord server. For example, only Discord users that have accepted Discord’s Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, can see the contents of this message I just sent in the Arbitrum Discord server.
So, I agree with using the Discourse data for this, but not with the Discord data.
Also, I think this proposal should be much more specific of what it is actually asking the DAO.
I believe that this proposal is asking the DAO to consent that the Arbitrum Foundation would give API access to this Discourse data, and also to install this TogetherCrew discord bot, on the Arbitrum Discord server, so that TogetherCrew can read all messages, threads and message reactions in every open channel in that Discord server.
Is this assessment correct @danielo ?
