People are trusting Discord way way way too much
Yeah if they get a warrant they’re 100% just handing over all the data
Maybe this will finally make people realise that using an unencrypted corpo-controlled messenger for all of their communications is a bad idea
Nah they’ll just jump ship to the next one
And there is really no reason to trust it whatsoever. It might feel secluded but in the end of the day, even your „private“ chats are essentially an open forum thread in the technical and legal sense because Discord is basically that: A huge, public forum where everything you say is a public statement. There is no privacy on Discord because that‘s simply not what it‘s for.
I tend to use these platforms without feeling I’m “committed”. I’ve abandoned things like Reddit before, and can likely do so again.
But I can see with the organization levels of channels that others are not thinking the same way.
I find the switch to hosting communities on proprietary closed platforms kind of bad in terms of access to the vast knowledge and archiving it for future generations. When discord will go full enshittified, it will just charge a subscription fee to access the “servers”. Also they will sure as hell comply with anything if it threatens the bottom line.
It’s god awful for any development discussion too. Used to be you could at least find someone taking about something on Stack Overflow even if it wasn’t solved, now it’s buried in Discord and you have no way of even searching it out to see if anyone has even had that problem before.
The more I read about Nintendo, the more genuine dislike I get for them. The only thing I read, hear and see are negative bullshit for some petty reason they’ve.
I hate how such a shit company holds so many good nostalgic games. Truly hoping for a quick hack on the Switch 2 and a PC emulation (and I hope truly, hope that Palworld wins the whole fiasco).
And then they find out the user was behind a commercial VPN and they’re fucked :)
And then VPN users will be fucked when they throw their money at governments to make it illegal to not keep logs or block all port forwarding
If this happens, we’re more than fucked and have big problems 👀
In some countries, it’s already mandatory to keep logs, but it doesn’t apply to foreign services, so if you’re a client of a company in another country that doesn’t have to keep logs, you’re not at any risk.
Scumtendo at it again. It’s morally wrong to give them money.
