Does a FOSS App need TOS and Privacy Policy? (feddit.de)

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.

Can confirm Discord requires a public-facing privacy policy at least for public bots. Can't remember at what point I had to make one, but it is required for at least some cases.
