Not only is this thing fucking logging everything you type, it's also a backdoor into your system - enabling fucking thieves to steal your shit, if Discord hasn't already sold it to them.
This fucking thing sucks dick on so many levels, holy fuck. Not only is it absolute shit when it comes to voice quality, but the buggy bullshit errors associated with this thing is unimaginable to someone who's used Vent or Teamspeak in the past.

How in the SHIT is this acceptable in the modern gaming world today?

Even back in '05, discord would be considered a convoluted mess and not worth the hassle. When the shit did people become so fucking stupid?

It got shilled a lot by gaming YouTubers and it was easy for retards who don't know how to use a computer to set up a server. You could then set up a server so anyone could join your server without logging in and make an account later to lock themselves into it.

The more convenient your platform, the more successful it will be. Discord proves this by being popular. Anyone who thought Discord wasn't going to get popular with its ingenious marketing scheme, free useage on everyone's parts, easy to use moderation tools and easy to setup 'servers' were fooling themselves from the start. If you were smart, you'd have made Discord first.

IRC is good enough until you realize you need a voice call for something and your ISP is really, really anal about you not hosting servers of any kind.

20 years ago there was more variety for these programmes than there seems to be now. they always weren't so full of spyware.
the question is, why isn't there an open source programme with video and audio chat, and why isn't everyone using it.
skype is bloated and has never been able to deliver a consistent usage experience. discord is the most spywarey mainstream programme I've seen. The only feature yet unmade is the red screen that pops up, locks up your computer and demands the number of your bank account within 24 hours of it will format the hard drive.

Discord is popular for roughly the same reason smartphones are. Convenience, as you said. Smartphones effectively have the same functionality as multiple devices, with that number of devices creeping up over time, and it can all fit in the palm of your hand. Discord is effectively a (((free))) combination of voice chat and easy-to-create forums/message boards. The fact that most multiplayer games have at least some degree of reliance on the program has only caused a snowball effect.
If people cared about security and privacy, modern messaging systems would have never become popularized. Social networking would basically be dead.

In any case, all of the digital distribution platforms are shit. Not considering Steam's censorship, Epic Store being insectoid botnet, and GOG's constant bending the knee to the Twitter mob; they have all pushed for the death of physical media (the real one, not today's "we sell you the CD but you have to download the 80GB patch to play it" meme).
Also, Linux has no games because developers are lazy niggers and can't get their asses to work on a good port for the *nix OSs. That and Nvidia being turbokikes and their GPUs being a pain in the ass to get working with anything that's not wangblows.
>>16072581

discord is definitely not your friend, but what they do with the data (targeted ads) doesn't seem to be enough of a negative for people to stop using it. specially when ad blockers are plenty.
besides people use worse, whatsapp, facebook, and google not only track and sell all your data but they require a phone number for you to use their services. no way for you to hide yourself there since your phone number is linked to a service provider that can easily link back to your real person.

yes like an email and payment information, both things any digital store requires to process your purchase. the only information that you're forced to give to steam that's absolutely not necessary is what game you're playing, hardly sensitive stuff. and I'm pretty sure they use that info to suggests you games you might also want to purchase similar to how amazon or other online stores also suggest stuff based on what you've previously viewed.
there's plenty of reasons to dislike steam but comparing steam to discord is stupid.

I always told people that was Mark and the merry band of r/8chan on Reddit which is a thing for people to steal our memes without having to actually come to spooky h8chan. It seemed obvious considering the reaction to the game here, but I'll concede that we later discovered that was wrong and a lot of those people posted here. The question was whether they found us through Steam or if they found the Steam group through this board. Either way it was a serious infestation.

It has fantastic file transfer support. bigger file sizes than discord. People use source maps to install malware on peoples computers, so I wouldn't be surprise if valve disabled file share for source maps.
They also don't care about your data, they have massive vidya dev money by taking 30% of sales. Discord has to sell your shit because everything on there is "free". Valve's service is free because people spend money in there store.
The Steam terms of service are also much better than Discord or other launchers like Epic or EA's launchers.
Valve came out with the Steam chat update because they were concerned about Discord's E-store.
Basically, Valve handed Gaymor Gators the perfect service to over throw Discord. Free, idiot proof, readily available to normalfags, doesn't sell your data.
But Valve banned loli's and killed piracy or something so the faggots on /v/ won't admit that Steam Chat is the only viable way to kill Discord.
So now these Chinese shell companies like Discord and Epic will continue to try and steal market share while installing spyware on anon's computers.
People use source maps to install malware on peoples computers, so I wouldn't be surprise if valve disabled file share for source maps.
I had a friend who played CS and got a bitminer trojan installed on his computer by some Russian.
The play was basically this:
>Russian hacker random ques and shit talks throughout matches, fishing for a response.
>Hothead like my friend responds to the bait, hacker challenges him to a 1v1.
>Russian hosts the game with a custom map.

You have to be an absolute retard or a complete social outcast to not understand how bad things really are, that it's not just the matter of a platform preference.
I don't use the app (only web and only when absolutely required) and I don't have a non-throwaway account (which barely even matters really as long as you use the discord), but if I want\need to engage with a gaming community, without going balls deep into socialfaggotry or serious business gaming (as in being required to be a hardcore member of the game AND the group), or if I have to create a social group alongside whatever gaming (or even non gaming) related project - not using Discord is going to cripple me immensely.

No, I just told you to fuck off and called you condescending. All you did act like a condescending faggot and point out a dilemma that everyone has with discord. Your posts add nothing new, but you act like you're a genius among retards. Fuck off to reddit, you fucking retard.
In case you missed it, all your original post did was pointed out problems people had with discord as if they are reasons we should use it and made a "hi/Vemind" quip as if you intellectually checkmated the userbase. These are all well known problems that come with boycotting anything and saying "you can't talk to or convince your friends" doesn't sudden mean anyone is wrong for boycotting or otherwise shouldn't. If using discord means I get to talk to condescending retards like you, then I could do with that convenience.

Correction, "make use of" and within the context where you want to pursue some goal that requires "socializing" efficiently.
>"hi/V/emind" quip as if you intellectually checkmated the userbase
/V/ - is a joke. Hivemind "quip" is used to point out the hypocrisy in advance for not engaging with any of the points due to "everyone has already made up their mind" argument so that the discussion could skip the portion and go straight towards the meat of the argument, or that's the intention at least.
>doesn't sudden mean anyone is wrong for boycotting or otherwise shouldn't
Where did I imply such a thing?
The only thing I've stated is that barely anyone outside of very specific groups of people will find it to be a fair trade and that there is either no concern for truly practical alternatives or no hope for the boycott to ever succeed, because it has barely any ground in reality.
Do you honestly believe that I love discord, that I would rather have no alternatives or that I endorse every behavior that is being cultivated by it? How can you even come up with accusing be of anything, while you are being this willfully dishonest?

You won't do that through any ideological argument but rather by putting in the work yourself to make their experience best as it can be and then put an even better spin on it.
For example I can get people to use Riot/Matrix if I meet Discords used features and then tack on something like increased filesize for sharing or important positions for people that join now.
>2. How do you accomplish goals that require of you to have a large group of people pursuing similar goals?
Again, you will have to put in the work to offer a "seamless" alternative and either build it with people you fish early on or try to cannibalize another system by pushing your version for a good amount of time.
>3. How do you make proper arguments that are also convincing that do not conflict with your actions in day to day life?
I already talked about the arguments but being a coherent "purist" will always give you the apperance of taking the first step when you offer an alternative also shamelessly spearheading it in terms of work put in will cull most criticism.

You can't populate anything even a bit niche without the use of compliant normalfags. Population is important for maintaining relevancy and in some meaning productivity. If your supply is less than natural degradation - you are essentially running dry.
That is not to say that normalfaggotry is something you should be exclusively catering to and be completely permissive of.

Valid, but the discussion is more about internet communication. But even so, how can you be sure that you will not run into your wall of principle, if the people you've connected that way exclusively use the discord for majority of their social tasks.
>By being honest about what you believe.
Well duh. The question is, how can you be sure that it's a principle within your moral system and not just an adopted belief? Like the general internet is full of holes and malicious practices. How do you keep up with that, how do you preventatively avoid being compromised without basically crippling yourself (because no way in hell you'd be able to sell that position to pretty much anyone that has already accepted even some of the drawbacks for the sake of utility)?

Rational != obvious. If it was objectively obvious I wouldn't see any merit in presenting my point.
>Why should anyone engage you if "point out hypocrisy" that hasn't even happened yet?
Because if it doesn't apply to them, then it's pretty much irrelevant for the discussion that they might about to engage in? Like I don't see the problem outside of someone taking it personal beyond the practical range of the action, and for those people that do apply for this problem, they would likely get offended by something else even if I were to emotionally neuter my initial post.
>I assumed those questions were rhetorical and not genuine.
They are partially rhetorical and genuine. Within the post I'm also trying to get across the problem of practicality that may be beyond average anons goals or that they could trade for convenience (which could make them ignorant of other situations where that's not rational).
>If you want people take you seriously, act less gay.

I don't think it's absolutely impossible to make someone switch, I'm just interested in details in how someone could go around the problem, that's already stacked not in your favor.
>I don't see any relevant difference to the point
Ok, how do you know if a service is not compromised, how do you shield yourself from that before you'll be harmed by your negligence, incompetence or plain inability. Like it's very naive to assume that only discord is being malicious in it's actions and the only difference between discord and any other app or website is that it's obvious why would they do it. If it's not obvious and the fact isn't known, you pretty much have no guarantees that someone is not fucking you over however they can.
Moreover, if you've been compromised, then you pretty much can't get back any of the land you've given up, how can you assure someone, that the thing you are advocating for is meaningful for them (and for you) and not just an engagement with illusion of personal safety?

If things get to that point it would be too late you'd be in an "inescapable" police state that would require way more effort to view or post anonymously than just using software like a VPN (which would probably be illegal in such a scenario since "you're trying to hide your ID like a bad goy" even if you do it for security reasons, remember in many countries defending your life is illegal because you might hurt the criminal) which the alphabet soups have listening tendrils throughout anyway.
However they don't waste their time doing this to everyone (too hard to do and you'd get an instantaneous revolt) only those that cause problems for them,which if you think someone willing to blackmail is on the up and up even if they're wearing a uniform you're badly mistaken and will gladly plant "evidence" to put you away.
Though the irony of all of this is the more this kind of shit is done the less power it'll hold over people even if they do leak/"leak" your info to blackmail/jail you. This also has many very bad implications for the rule of law and law enforcement since if this becomes too common and people realize (it's not an IF it's a WHEN) evidence is being planted/faked noone will care about evidence they bring against someone since "it can be faked".
It's basically the ultimate and final death of civilization since you couldn't trust anything under that.

Why would you trust anyone at this point? It's really obvious that laws aren't made to protect the general population but to serve whatever purpose the lawmakers have in mind. The way I see it we already are in a police state.

My personal trust or distrust in a given system is a moot point, what matters is how many other people hold that same realization at a given time.
Also despite the blatant biases in a number of systems they're still regularly forced to do what they're supposed to because there's still structures in place they can't entirely ignore or incure the populous's wrath.

no, because at least police states tend to crack down on crime.

discord steals whatever data you give it, but I assume the same for every program that receives any sort of data
and it dosnt show me ads like skype did
the only place I would really complain it is filesize limits of only 8MB tbh, other then that I dont know of a voice and text program that is actually better (though I can think of a few that are equally good but dont have all my buddies on them)

You didn't provide a direct source to a good study on this. You can't just go of muh common sense in when giving proof.
Give source. Now.
