This is an attack on human freedom.
You mean the same discord that doesn’t have end-2-end encryption for text? The only good news is that the NSA has a backup of all your chats.
The same discord that has said openly for years that they’re recording everything about its users that they can?
Discord spying on users since the beginning
It seems to me that soon, in order to bypass spying, we will have to live and get new files offline.
Discover and educate yourself about FOSS and encryption. The solutions have existed for decades, in most cases they’ve existed much longer than the enshittified platforms you’re using today.
Solutions have literally existed longer than the problem has.
Go download mumble and quit complaining about a shitty company being shitty.
P2P like croc ,torrent ,usenet
But it’s better to be prepared for the fact that they will try to prohibit these methods.
Discord was never secure and a private for profit org was never going to stay good.
Use something like signal instead.
Until the government demands that Signal turns over the keys too.
Not really possible, Signal doesn’t have the keys to turn over. Governments only option is to ban Signal.
Right, which means you won’t be able to get your friends to switch to it.
You’ve got some difficult friends.
How so?

Signal really doesn’t have all the features Discord has though.
That’s why you use Discord for friendly chats, and Signal as a side channel for anything political.
Yeah I use both to be clear. I just don’t see them as alternatives to one another.
Though I do use discord for some political stuff. I like to do legal resistance in public to normalize it and reduce the fear. That’s how they control us.
Signal is for more confidential stuff :)
Skill issue + Matrix exists
Skill issue? Have you used discord?
You might as well say why use Lemmy when Signal exists. It’s just not a replacement.
Haven’t used matrix though. Is it encrypted? Does it have the forum functionality of Discord?
Yes, Discords features are needed for managing large groups. But for playing games with a small friend group none of the more advanced features are really necessary.
Haven’t used matrix though. Is it encrypted? Does it have the forum functionality of Discord?
Yes and yes.
Still waiting for Stoat (aka Revolt) to kick in because Matrix is too complex to bring my friends over, and also lacks cool Discord features like bots
Matrix definitely has bots.
Thanks I’ll have to check it out.
It’s more-or-less a self-hostable Discord clone (but there are plenty of public instances you can join).
There are also Matrix bridges that let you join chats on other apps like WhatsApp, Telegram, Signal, etc.
Did something new happen?
Also just don’t use Discord.
SugarCatDestroyer is a conspiracy theorist who regularly post odd/obscure memes. I’m not saying anything about what they believe, but if their name then safe to assume they are coming out left field so to speak.
Got it, thanks
other than the hack that leaked user IDs and verification photos? no i dont think so.

Okay but that’s not an example of Big Brother spying on you via Discord.
Bro’s actually a CIA plant that replaced your real friend 2 years ago.
‘friend’ on discord is the first red flag.
