It's horrible. We already had that stuff figured out. Wiki pages and forums to make information accessible even after 20 minutes have passed. Fuck that development and everyone that was/is pushing for that.

🤮

Who are the morons that keep making these decisions?

As long as the alternative is not another chat app that is not indexable by search engines. Forums fill the role pretty well, I don't understand why devs would use Discord in the first place.

Open source community always loses to capitalists, because people won't do the work unless there's money involved. Otherwise there would be open source alternatives that are better and more popular. What incentive do smart programmers have to help the open source community when they're better off earning 180k+ per year programming for the financial sector? Especially in this ever increasingly oppressive economy. I'm sorry but unless leftists are donating billions to the open source community, it's idealistic at best to depend on them.

Every time I see Simplex it reminds me of a virus.

I dig your Netscape avatar

Discord said they’re going to delete the data!

Don't piss on my leg and tell me it's raining

No argument there. Just feels particularly relevant right now if you know what I mean.

Do the people you talk with use Signal?

Me and my people are moving to stoat. They're having some growing pains right now, but I'm sure it'll smooth out.

I run graphene and have self control. You do you.

They, like some political parties across the west, are arrogant in thinking people have no other choice. They've consolidated it all down into a few options, buying out their rivals, or crushing them legally, and or using anti competitive behavior to hurt them, that's against the law but not enforced because plutocracy, and think we have no other options, the other option is worse, so they can continually get worse and not lose market share, because what are you going to do?

You can start your own websites, they will use the law and courts to try and crush them. They will lean on isp's to strangle the traffic, get hosting sites to refuse to host them, they will lean on credit card processors to not process transactions for them. Maybe manufacture a terrorist connection to justify personally going after anyone involved in the website or it's operation.

There is no limit to the caprice of these entrenched interests where we are headed, with an openly corrupt government; openly sold out courts with contempt for the constitution and ancient rights of English Common Law countries, open contempt for their citizen charges seeking redress from powerful interests abusing them; an executive branch that is all but openly harvesting protection money, payoffs, and bidding off regulatory actions, bidding off laws and executive orders and justice department investigations, and setting the federal government up like a political machine from a century prior, where everybody pays and the boss gets a cut of everything. Like boss tweed or something, I don't know what we'd expect with a mobbed up blackmailing and blackmailed real estate baron from New York City that's been involved in over 10k court cases and never once paid any real price for cheating everyone he's done business with that couldn't hurt him and slandered them to justify it.

We could go on with the corruption bit, but point being, any new sites that start to get critical mass need to be set up in a way that they can't strangle traffic off on them, and that they cannot take down the whole unit for allegations of criminality in any part of it. Easy enough for them to set up a fake terror account, wire money from here to terror there, and then take the entire thing down. To sanction everyone involved. The federation bit could help limit the liability and prevent a lot of that maybe. But we need our own infrastructures. We need our own internets. We should be setting up community cooperative internets everywhere. There is no reason we should pay two companies trillions of dollars to provide internet poorly and spy on us in the process, when hundreds of billions could provide ourselves internet at cost under a less intrusive nature.

I think the biggest exodus from reddit happened when they limited their API so all 3rd party apps died at the same time

But reddit had a lot of blunders so this is just my guess

I heard about for in the Uk and aussielands, because they are leading the way in subjugating the internet to ai, to id every account

Fwiw Australia's law quite specifically says they can't require ID for age verification, requires that if the user does choose to use ID it cannot be used for any other purposes.

Aside from ID, they're allowed a variety of options for age detection. Most of them seem to have gone with a short of sentiment analysis type technique. They work out you're over 16 based on the fact that your account is 10+ years old (and not many <6 year olds have accounts) or you're talking about politics more than Bluey. That's not collecting any data they didn't already have.

kinda like gamers in general.

Cry, and cry, and cry, and stir up a big shit storm about whatever the latest greatest grievance is.. Then continue to speak with their wallet by shoveling hundreds of dollars to the companies doing all the atrocious shit they hate and complain about.

As I understand it, you should be fine unless that server is doing 18+ stuff. Don't verify, discord will assume you're a teenager. I'm leaving because I don't have any ties like that. Maybe you could convince the server to move elsewhere?

they would allow it to record conversations in their house while the computer is off. people do not give a shit

The youth used discord to coordinate an overthrow of the government, and used it to organise a vote for who to replace the leader with.
