Some statistics

The raw data for this version contained 51,826,268 messages [v1] 5103788 (regex) + 696161 (toxic)/51826268, or 0.11% of the messages were removed [v2] 6737000 (regex) + 946778 (toxic)/90841631, 0.08%of the messages were removed The dataset's final size is 46,026,319 (v1) + 64,345,492 (v2) [110,371,811] messages across 456,810 (v1) + 750,416 (v2) [1,207,226] conversations, which is reduced from 89.6 GB of raw json data to just under 2 GB

Inspiration

There is a wide variety of NLP datasets that cover a huge number of different interactions between users that can be used for pretraining; Google's C4 covers webtexts and a extremely diverse amount of data for the majority of language tasks. Reddit crawls cover strucutred, forum-style text. However, despite this abundance of data, there is a lack of clean long-context data for specifically conversation puproses. In a search for potential sources of data, I discovered that discord has a long-standing history of having interesting and diverse conversations, and a realatively open API. With the collaboration of a large number of discord moderators, server owners, and members of the community, this data was sucessfully downloaded and cleaned.

Goal

To create a diverse, structured dataset of turn-by-tun conversation that can be used to pretrain a model oriented specifically for conversational purposes

Content

Files containing -detox are cleaned files that utilized a LSTM network to analyize each message and evaluate if the message is toxic, obscene, threatening, insulting, or is identity hate All files were cleaned using https://github.com/JEF1056/clean-discord, mostly using the default settings. The repo takes an automated, heuristic approach to removing unwanted, non-NLP, or toxic comments. context.txt contains all data that has been cleaned using basic regex and some text replacement context-pairs.txt contains pairs of data using only discord's recent replies feature. As it is so new, its yeild is very low. It has also been cleaned using basic regex and some text replacement

Aknowledgements

Context

This dataset contains real-world messages from my Discord server, labeled to support the fine-tuning of BERT/distilBERT base for phishing and scam detection.

Content

This dataset was created by first collecting 80,000 raw messages from my Discord server using the Discord API. To ensure quality and relevance short messages of less than 3 words, messages from bots, non-text messages, and mass duplicated messages such as those containing over 70% of emojis are removed. This filtering process reduced the dataset to fewer than 20,000 high-quality messages. Afterward, additional preprocessing was applied (as described below), and more targeted scam messages were manually added to improve model exposure to common phishing tactics and keyword variations. This ensures the dataset remains both realistic and effective for fine-tuning models used in live moderation settings.

Data Pre-processing

Discord/External links → <URL> User mentions → <USER> Custom emojis → <EMOJI> Discord invite links → <DISCORD_INVITE>

Acknowledgements

Messages were collected via the Discord API from my community server active for eight years, comprising ~11 000 members and over 20 million messages.

Inspiration

Traditional Discord moderation bots rely on static keyword rules set by server owners, but scammers easily evade these filters by subtly altering spellings, using homoglyphs and more. Thus, I built an NLP-powered moderation bot by fine-tuning DistilBERT base uncased on labelled chat data to recognize phishing and scam patterns beyond simple keywords, The bot is deployed and scans every incoming message in real time, automatically flagging or deleting malicious content.

The market for Discord soundboard software is experiencing robust growth, driven by the increasing popularity of Discord as a communication platform for gamers, streamers, content creators, and communities. The rise of live streaming and online content creation has fueled demand for sophisticated soundboard software, enabling users to enhance their interactions and broadcasts with custom audio effects, sound bites, and music. This market is segmented by application (streamers and content creators being the largest segment), software type (cloud-based solutions gaining traction due to accessibility and ease of use), and regional distribution (North America and Europe currently holding significant market share). While the exact market size in 2025 is unavailable, a reasonable estimate, considering the growth trajectory of similar software markets and the rapid adoption of Discord, could be placed in the range of $150-200 million. This figure is supported by the substantial number of dedicated soundboard software providers listed, indicating a competitive and thriving market. We project a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of approximately 15-20% over the forecast period (2025-2033), reflecting continued expansion driven by technological advancements, increasing user engagement on Discord, and the development of more feature-rich and user-friendly soundboard software. The key restraints to market growth include the potential for copyright infringement related to the use of copyrighted audio content within soundboards, and the ongoing need for software developers to address security concerns and maintain software stability. The rising prevalence of user-generated content and increased demand for personalized soundboard experiences are key trends influencing the market. The integration of AI features, such as voice cloning and real-time audio effects, is creating new avenues for innovation. Furthermore, the ongoing evolution of Discord's platform and its API will significantly influence the development and integration of soundboard software. Competition within the market is fierce, necessitating continuous innovation and the development of unique selling propositions to attract and retain users. The emergence of subscription-based models and freemium services will likely reshape the revenue streams within the industry.

Social and VoIP platform Discord was launched in 2015 as a gamers-friendly communication platform, but it also acquired popularity among non-gaming audiences in recent years. The platform allows users to create or join thematic communities called servers, and as of August 2025, the Midjourney server was the most popular community on Discord, with over ***** million members. Midjourney is an AI-powered text-to-image tool, which is accessible via a Discord bot on the official Discord server of the program. The second most popular Discord server was Viggle, with **** million members. Not just a gamers’ space: Discord for communities While gaming servers are still among the most popular online spaces on the platform – with communities such as Marvel Rivals and the official Genshin Impact server amassing more than **** and *** million users respectively as of mid-2025 – Discord is also a space for several different communities to come together. Educational servers, which have been growing on the platform since the outbreak of the global COVID-19 pandemic, range from language learning to hacking and programming, with the server “MikaParadise” counting over *** million Discord users, and the server for Sui counting over *** thousand users, respectively. Cross-platform communities include online spaces in which users share content from other social media, such as affiliated Reddit servers and TikTok-based communities. As of April 2024, Lofi Girl and Dadscord were the most popular music servers on Discord, with ***** thousand and ***** thousand registered resharing content from the popular social video platform. Discord servers: the challenge of providing self-managed online spaces As Discord is composed by both public and private groups, moderating servers and enforcing the company’s Terms of Services represents a challenge. According to Discord, ** percent of the company’s employees are assigned to safety and moderation. However, servers on the platform are also moderated in their day-to-day activity by volunteer moderators. While Discord has repeatedly reported they do not have access to the four billion messages users exchange daily on the platform, in 2017 the company attracted global attention when it was revealed that it was used by alt-right groups in the United States to plan and organize the “Unite the Right 2.0” rally in Virginia, which culminated with a terroristic attack that left one dead and several wounded. Since then, Discord has engaged in several campaigns to remove servers classified as promulgating violent extremism: during the fourth quarter of 2023, *** servers were proactively removed from the platform due to violent extremism by the company’s safety and moderation team, while ** servers were reactively removed after users’ report.
