If you go to your settings > privacy and safety and you have the beta filtering, you will be able to be view logged. However you can turn off this read receipt system by setting the "Direct messages" filter to Show. Anyone that does not have the beta will not be able to be view logged. TL:DR Discord's explicit media filtering beta will load the image and trip the view logger. If you don't have it in your privacy settings, you wont trip the view logger. If you do, set the DM filter to "Show" to avoid being logged. If you are having issues, try sending the URL first in an EMPTY server (no bots, no friends, only you). Then you should only get 1 embed sent = link is primed and ready to go :)
Fun fact: This is used by corporations in emails and is called a “tracking pixel” to see when you open an email from them. It’s also why your email client blocks images by default.
This would actually be a good feature for discord to just have, have it disabled by default, and allow you to give "consent" per dm to let friends see if you read their message, if you come to an agreement that "yea if i read your message and didn't reply, my brain probably went elsewhere" it can genuinely be useful, but there are also the downsides of it with abusive relationships and all that iffyness.
"There are also the downsides of it with abusive relationships-" then? leave the abusive relationship? Lol? Like what, are there perks to being in an abusive relationship? Also, if you have to "consent to read messages" then I hate to break it to you, but there's something weird going on in your "friendships". People have been using iPhones for over a decade now, and read receipts have been a thing for many years. Some people have read receipts turned off (which turns it off for the people who talk to them), some have them on but can't view read receipts because the people THEY talk to have it off, or both people will have read receipts on and hopefully have the maturity to not pee themselves whenever their message gets read but they don't get a response. We don't need "consented read receipts" when they could... just be turned off... 💀 Anyway, if you or your friends throw fits about being left on read, you need new friends and a new mindset. You are clearly too addicted to the internet/accessible social media. It is unhealthy to be that obsessed with READ RECEIPTS to the point you have to ASK FOR CONSENT FROM FRIENDS? TO READ MESSAGES? LOL
Honestly, no, I already HATE IT AS IS on Messenger. Keep this crappy feature off of Discord, Discord is beautiful, don't ruin it with pile of steaming poop.
It's only typically on ones that the cylinder is manufactured wrong or super cheaply, it's VERY unlikely unless you buy one from a shady site or super super cheap, if its from a reputable brand it's not really likely to happen at all
I saw a video on discord of someone recording an old sofa chair exploding under a girl (it actually sent her flying on the couch next to her, not even joking) BUT LUCKILY there was a big hard cushion under her. I don't wanna imagine what the video would look like if that wasn't there
this is kinda useless for most people, if they don't know about the view logger they will still ignore you, and if you confront them about not replying they will just call you a creep or ignore you even more, but its interesting that this even works, a lot of users have asked for this in the vencord server if I remember correctly
Btw you could figure out their general location by sending them something similar and then loading the proxied image from various locations and checking if any of them was cached by Cloudflare. If the image was cached when loading it from Ohio dc then you know the other person also loaded it from there, possibly leaking their location :)
Discord should honestly have an opt-in to show whether or not you have read a message in DMs and Group DMs, would be a welcome feature, considering how common it is on other platforms.
5:55 Be careful. Posting secrets, such as a Discord webhook, in a repository is considered a serious security risk, even if it's a private repository. If someone somehow accesses that repository, it's game over. Same if you forget about the secret and change the repository access settings. Be warned, if you post a secret and then remove it, it will be saved forever in the GitHub repository change log, except if you do some somewhat advanced Git operations.
For anyone saying "pff no one will check my repository", a massive number of bots regularly scan GitHub public repositories for exactly that sort of scenario.
Blud just casually made a "How to track your target in discord" video expecting people to not abuse the hell out of it. But it also helps people know that if some rando is sending you random empty messages, you know they're a creep and naturally you should avoid them.
That's pretty much what a lot of people do in HTML business mails as well. One of the images in the footer is usually a tracking link so they know exactly if and when you opened the mail.
You can also use the invisible link trick; spam a bunch of spoilers with a zws in the middle, and any link pasted after won't show up in the message, but will create an embed
@@mowermen1762 if u use certain amount of times "|" symbol, the links at the end is completely invisible and only the embed links "square" pops up. It was explained in of of the ntts video. Im guessing it's named "blank space"
There's also a nasty bug in message rendering that has been in the client for years having to do with spoilers, that can be used to hide text and links entirely, but it's stayed relatively under the radar.
For those wondering, the way it works is through the utilization of a function called 'middleware' within the framework the website is running, Next.js. Middleware is pretty much a way to execute code when something is trying to talk to a website before actually processing the request and returning it to the website, which in this case, is discord, trying to grab a png/embed from the website you're running. Usually, middleware is used for redirects, but in this case, detecting when discord is trying to grab data from the website.
Oksy but wait... Does the viewlogger always work after the link is sent in a DM or do you need to send the link everytime you want to know if someone read your message?
I wonder if someone could turn this into a GUI app where people are able to make a /url and set a web hook for that specific URL. Interesting code, could also make it public code by using an ENV variable in production.
I would like an official opotion to select who can see If you read the message, I sometimes want my friends to know I read the last message without saying just "ok" or "bye" for a third time
Just quickly commenting this to let people know that I tried setting this up, and it only logs once, which is from me. There should be AT LEAST 2 since there's the one log between me and the other log for the recipient and more logs made for each time me and the other user get the embed link I'd imagine. Another user can confirm a similar thing.
It doesn't work for all devices, and on the Android mobile app (which I use), it logs every time the message with the view-logger is viewed (can be multiple times).
In theory you should be able to change "mini.png" in the code and have it look like a little emote. Then there won't be a weird blank space... (blank image).
If you've had sponsor spots before I must have just tuned them out. I'm more than happy to have the sponsor spots in the videos as I know RUclips doesn't pay nearly enough for the work put in on top of randomly demonetizing videos. Side note, I would love to be a channel member on float plane if you ever decide to join that platform.

No mad fact
Cuzco your profile is mad 😠
And also, it's not very reliable because of automatic scanning loading the image
Fun fact: you can disable this behaviour - by disabling remote content - on some email apps (e.g. thunderbird)
Man this is like an old school way to see if people read your emails
not even old school they still do this with tracking images lol
Atleast those is not very reliable with automatic spam filter, antivirus, etc
