Discord Channels Appearing in Google Results: How to Keep Chats Private

Public Discord conversations have been turning up in Google search results, following reports from Xataka and Hipertextual about thousands of exposed threads. Google can index public channels unless Discord serves a noindex header, so visibility depends on server settings. The guide recommends switching servers to private, enabling the 'Hide server from search engines' option for verified servers, and requesting removal of already-indexed URLs through Google Search Console. It also suggests a custom bot to add noindex headers to legacy public channels, along with ongoing monitoring of search results.
