      Discord has a feature that broadcasts games you play to your friends at all times, and many people leave the feature on.

        I turned em off when my boss at the time noticed I was always playing FFXIV. I wasn’t always actually playing, I used to leave it open almost all the time. Why was my boss and I in the same discord? This was early COVID and we used a discord to shoot the shit. Also almost all of us gamed, including said boss, and I probably wouldn’t have really gotten in trouble anyway, but I just explained I leave it open a lot and he accepted that without qualm.

      If the server owner gives the bot access to those permissions and the users have activity sharing enabled, yep.
