I’m currently working on a FOSS Discord bot. When I host an official instance of said bot, do I need a TOS and or Privacy Policy, or is a link to the license (in my case GPLv3) enough?
I live in Germany, if that makes a difference.

My experience is Australian, but given we have weaker laws than you, its probably the baseline experience.
If your bot is a very small bot, for personal use, no. But once you go over 75 servers, discord will require you to submit both a privacy policy and a terms of service.
They dont seem to care about the content of the docs, they just have to exist. There are tools to generate both docs. They serve a very different purpose to a licence, so that is not sufficient.
