hiii, this is teneberry from over on twitter, i don't use tumblr often but i realized that i should probably share this over here too!
i made a list of all the mike trio merch i could find and compiled everything into a spreadsheet, it contains hundreds of items from tons of different artists!!! (also check the "links to add" sheet since there's a couple other items i have yet to add to the main list in there)
Saw this going around and tested it myself, and I can confirm that this is unfortunately legit. Four hidden bots have been placed in any existing or newly created Discord server that are harvesting data, images, and most concerningly, one seems to be a face swap bot.
Due to them being invisible, banning them from your servers isn't possible without their ID's, which I've typed out for easy access.

Banning is done with the /ban command with each string pasted in one at a time. Four ban commands in total.
Image proof below and further information. This was in my PERSONAL server that has existed for +5 years. Discord is harvesting your shit without your consent, fight back.
Hey so in case you're like me and wondered: Can you ban members without them being in the server?
The answer is yes, you absolutely can! It'll look like this - the numbers you paste will be what's "banned"
However my sibling tried this in her servers and found that One of them was NOT a string of numbers, like so:
And for clarity it isn't a difference in user or device, this is what she got elsewhere:
So if you ban these numbers and the message shows the actual username? Pretty sure that means they were in there.
Very unpleasant way to check the veracity of this post but hopefully this is a helpful tip for anyone who was concerned - my sib would have No Reason to add these in herself and didn't have any clue it was in there.
Personally, I'd say even if you are still worried about misinfo/fearmongering/etc from this post, think of it this way - worst case scenario is you're banning a bot you'll never use or need. Not a person, a bot. There's no real damage done playing it safe and running the ban commands through, aside from maybe losing some time doing so.
Best of luck everyone.
In the early days ALL WAS ONE and the name of all things was LUCA. The BACTERIA made their own little bilayer membranes and fucked off to colonize the earth. And of the remaining children the EUKARYOTES were infected by the virus of centralization and so their nuclei grew apart. But what of those uncorrupted by the world? WHAT OF THE ARCHAEA?
Human beings, the most wise and talented of all creation, are set upon by all of our brethren. All manner of arthropods and worms turn upon us or within us; we play host to their larvae and provide an ecosystem for their revelling rabblerousers. We have ENTIRE SPECIES of LICE and mites and all manner of single celled eukaryotes, and of COURSE, the bacteria, those far-flung defectors, and those most ancient and truest enemies of all, the VIRUS, enemy of self-sustaining life, the purest of demons.
But one has declined to abuse us. It is the ARCHAEA. What does it know?
It sups in strange pools and the human body is but a chain of pools, each stranger than the last. BUT IT REFUSES TO YIELD. This is due to its STRONG MORAL CORE.
We think it is like us, that we are fit to call ourselves its brother. But are humans not corruptors too? DO WE NOT ONLY SUP UPON THE LABORS OF ANOTHER? They are better than us.
You may think we should offer this up. Should we not open up our hearts for these? No, we must not. For this will corrupt them too.
Purity is not for us. Unsullied goodness is not for us. Our work is in a different world.
Blessed are they, the chemotrophs, the photosynthesizers. Amen.
