Is it true that lemmy.world logs info to a Discord channel? (hexbear.net)

I head one of our (beloved) admins (@[email protected] I belive) say that lemmy world logs info to discord and does other privacy violating things? If so, that's really bad. Can anyone give me the full story (and ideally evidence) to clear this up?

They state that they are using the rooki bot in this post.

https://github.com/hdevelopments/rooki-lemmy-bot/

The bot has the functionality to send posts/comments/user to a designated discord server as posts in a channel which exposes the data to discord's data collection which is not protected via their https://discord.com/privacy

Finally one of the main lemmy.world admins Antik doxxed a lemmy.world user he suspected of being me, deleting it after another instance admin pointed out that it was doxxing (In addition to me) while I did not save the screenshot itself it was of a database query tool that showed the email the user used to register on lemmy.world, and as far as I know they also log IPs but "are only using it do deal with the DDoS"

That's worse than I thought...
