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

> There is only a limited number of mods you can play with My Minecraft server has 300+ mods. I've subscribed to nearly that many Rimworld mods. 50 is the lowest number of mods for a game of mine I can quickly find.
The number is not unbounded, the more mods you have the more difficulty you will have upgrading, the more they conflict with each other, and consumer hardware cannot handle the load. Also, paid mods usually have a free version. You pay for early access for latest and greatest version, which only makes sense for specific important mods. You wouldn’t do it for all of the mods.
The point is you don't quickly reach this point these days.

My GPU is 10 years old, my CPU is 6 years old, and I only have 16GB of RAM. I'm not even sure I can name a game that is easily moddable that might overload even a middle-of-the-road system.

Interestingly, the vast, vast majority of mods I know of that offer a Patreon or similar don't offer much in the way of perks - it's mostly just a way of letting users support them if they choose. Sometimes there's early access, but that's actually fairly rare in my experience.

And a Minecraft server with 300+ mods? I doubt it.

X-Plane, Cities: Skylines, Minecraft… Most big games will overload a machine of an average person, at least once you add a decent shader, high-poly models and high-res textures, and play on anything other than potato resolution.

Which tracks the experience of an average person how? If you think everybody these days runs a million mods and admins a rented server, you should really go out more.
To save folks a click, the dataset itself has been made available here: https://zenodo.org/records/15170676 It's 118 gigabytes of JSON.
The biggest problem that sucks about discord is that it isn't normally publicly searchable. And it seems to be a modern replacement for internet forums which historically were publicly searchable and often had a lot of great information about various hobbies and things.
> The biggest problem that sucks about discord is that it isn't normally publicly searchable. This is a feature of the platform, not a bug. Because of the lack of discoverability people act more genuine, for better or for worse, than public places like Twitter, Bsky, Facebook, Instagram, etc where you have to maintain your public image and/or act like HR is watching over your shoulder. That being said, this feature a…

If they didn't salt it, you might not even need to identify the chat - just hash the username you want to look up. I'd check, but it's a >100GB download.
