> It's 118 gigabytes of JSON.

118.0 GB of ZST compressed JSON (https://zenodo.org/records/15170676). The actual uncompressed JSON would most likely be much, much larger.

I downloaded it and decompressed it — it's approximately 2.1 terabytes in size.

he mentioned also Quad9 - Cloudflare DNS replacement. I didn't know about and will probably switch to it. My other picks:

SEARCH: qwant (france)

LLM: mistral (france), librechat.ai, openwebui

VPN: mullvad (sweden), protonVPN (swiss)

AUTH: OpenID (sadly seems like not many sevices implement it)

CLOUD: Hetzner (germany), OVHCloud (france)

MAPS: here wego, openstreetmap

EMAIL: protonMail (swiss), fastmail (australia)

DNS: mullvad (sweden), quand9 (swiss), nextDNS

TRANSLATE: DeepL (germany)

BROWSER: zen-browser, vivaldi (norway)

SOCIAL: nostr, mastadon (germany)

IM: elements (uk), matrix (uk)

EDIT: correction that fastmail is australian

Fastmail is based in Australia [1], not Germany.

Seeing as this is closely related to [1], which I also commented on, and in the hopes that someone finds this useful regarding Discord's ownership of your data (where your messages remain even if you delete your account):

If you'd like to delete your Discord messages en masse, I made an open-source tool for that [2]. It leverages a fairly undocumented process using your Discord data package, providing a UI to explore it and choose what to export. The tool gives you step-by-step instructions and a CSV file that Discord expects when you contact their privacy team. It works across all channels in both servers and DMs, even those you no longer have access to.

What makes you say Midjourney is the biggest one? How would you know?
hampus · 7 months ago
According to Discord's public server list [1], Midjourney has over 21M members, making it the largest server. Discord published a technical blog post [2] detailing the infrastructure work needed to support Midjourney's unprecedented scale with 1M+ concurrent users.
