Good on discord for actually doing something given their reputation
Given their reputation, you should question if it’s actually due to CP, or some other kind of possible political crackdown. I wouldn’t assume either way.
Usually when it looks like these people are doing their jobs for once, it turns out to be something in line with their previous shit.
Lost yearly Nitro
You cuck.
i hate discord so much my first discord account got permabanned because the owner of a server i was in went nuts and doxxed 8 year olds and my second account i got locked out for a year because they thought i was a bot and i couldnt use my phone number to verify because it was already in use on my first account then when i finally got in it had a 6 month ban because a server i was in got raided by racists that said slurs
I mean, if you’re on 4chan…
This was my first thought.
Obviously did some shit then trying to gain sympathy like omg I was banned for being nice.
Never understood why anyone would want to pay 100$ a year for discord, the paid version doesnt give you that much imo
To support the developers and pay for a product you use all the time? Same reason you pay for any software/game.
Personally, Discord has facilitated a long distance relationship with my now wife, and nearly ten years of weekly TTRPG games. I don't mind the cost because they cannot provide that service for free forever, and I think it's worth it for what I get out of it. The other benefits they add for paying are almost just bonuses to me after that.
Which is a good monetation system. Premium users barely get anything but still enough to pay, while free users can do pretty much everything too.
I spam 500mb uploads... it kinda makes sense to me
personally the $3 a month nitro is worth it for me, considering how much I use it. I know Lemmy hates anything capitalist but a coffee a month isnt that much
I pay $30 a year for Nitro Basic. It's only $2.50 a month and worth it to me with how much I use it.
Same, I call it my "shitposting tax"
You don't wanna pay $100 for a bunch of useless stickers and random features that don't need to be in a chat program? Whaaaaaat? That's weird. /s
I'm legitimately paranoid about this scenario, especially since I'm in a couple of ERP servers, and I was friends with ReploidRevo.. yes THAT ReploidRevo, and never knew about what he did until after his downfall went viral. (Shocked the Hell out of me because he seemed so normal and on the up and up)
imagine gooning on main
?
gooner? or just curious?
I don't know what you're talking about, it's just fun pretend roleplay with consenting adult other parties
Lost yearly Nitro and all my friends
That’s sadder than he seems to understand it is.
I know "lol anon has no friends" is le epic funny meme but by friends, they obviously meant their contacts.
I have a lot of people, I'd consider friends, that I only communicate with through discord. If I lost my account, I'd likely never hear from them again. Kinda get it.
Idk might just be talking about his online friend's. But knowing 4chan maybe not
This is one of the bigger reasons I don't want to use social media controlled by a corporation, it means they can choose to cut me off from people at their discretion, which will probably be based on what is convenient and easy for them.
I've never had a Discord account. It's gamers, right?
it’s just IRC in a web browser
On this topic: I currently have installed on my phone and computer: slack, zoom, MSTeams, element, discord, Facebook messenger and signal to communicate in various projects and friends. What is this madness?!
I remember what a game changer Trillian was 20 years ago. Having AIM, MSN, and ICQ all in one app was so nice. I have yet to find anything modern like that. I just checked and Trillian still exists but it appears to just be its own stand alone chat app now.
Same happened to me but with animal cruelty content or something. I tried to get the account back but turns out it was a "ban wave" so a lot of other people who got banned but were innocent were doing the same so discords services got overwhelmed by the appeals. Maybe they should have realized after that that this kinda banning is a horrible approach.
I have a Discord but I hear a lot about how easily you can get banned, largely on the whims of the people running a single server, so I've always been a bit reluctant to use it.
Also, I find it genuinely disturbing how much information all these companies have about you and your stuff.
And I'm not looking forwards to the effort it is going to take to get my friends to migrate away from discord. It was hard enough to get them on discord in the first place.
Anon doesn't know, Discord fails to include a libre software license text file. We do not control it, anti-libre software.
What do you mean??
I think they are saying that discord is bad because it is not Free software, that it is bad because it is a commercial service
This is why people should be worried of using these massive services, luckily it was ‘only’ Discord (if this was your primary way to interact with friends, this can be a huge deal).
But imagine if it was your email account!
Getting a reputable provider, self hosting or using a decentralized option is paramount for your own sanity.
This made me thinking about Valve potentially banning my 19-years-old Steam account due to some error or a mistake 💀 I heard bad things about their customer support.
There was that man who was all in on Google.
He had a telemedicine appointment for his son who had a problem with his penis. Dr asked him to send a close-up photo so he could diagnose the skin condition
So the guy takes the photo with his pixel phone and sends it
The phone automatically backs up the photo
Google's AI says it's child porn, his account is deleted and police are contacted
Police look into it and say "not porn, totally fine" but have to go to his house to tell him the was no problem because his phone was Google, his internet was Google fibre, his email was Gmail and his photo album was on Google and all that was irrevocably deleted
Currently having problems with GMail I lost my old phone (2fA) and no device was logged in so i could not access steam and like everything that requires that old mail
And my phone provider or postal service is stupid because i could not get a replacement sim after multiple tries which normally works
Googles account recovery policy is basically:
I think the recovery mail option only gets unlocked after 6? months inactivity because ~3 months ago i did not have the option
Now after requesting a recovery i still have to wait a full month before they maybe send me a password reset to my moms mail
But steam support was nice. Managed to get the account by providing a product key i used a few months ago and was lucky enough not to have thrown the physical card away
That is kinda bullshit if they didn't even see the content.
I mean, seeing as it’s a 4chan greentext there’s probably some very important information being left out.
Entirely possible.
Just because they didn't participate doesn't mean they didn't know it was there.
Presumption of innocence is a thing, you know?
In 2020 some small servers (50-200 people per server) got cover banned with all their users, mostly for political talk, as far as I'm aware.
I, personally, usually join such small servers while looking for lobby members in older games, I have a couple of them muted except for channels dedicated specifically to game lobbies. If someone starts an "illegal" talk in any other channel on one of these, why should I be held liable? Or am I suddenly obligated to hunt for pipe bomb recipes in any server I join?
Just because they're part of the server doesn't mean they knew it was there.
Anon's big mistake was not being the President of the Gulf of America.
Anon forgot to put their interpersonal relationships in a RAID array
Discord usually just uses some bullshit allegations when they feel like kicking accounts down
I created a Discord account so I could try Midjourney and my account got blocked within a few hours. I use a VPN most of the time, can't remember if I was with Discord so might have had the same IP as another user. Didn't bother to set up another account.
They block most VPNs outright.
All the more reason to not use Discord imo.
Mullvad works.
gosh, that makes me feel really nervous
Same! Perhaps I should prune my Discord servers
Its greentext. Its not real/true.
Can't say if this anon specifically had this happen, but there's plenty of proof of it happening.
So basically if you hate a community, you just gotta go there and post some no-no pics, and everything gets nuked? Great, I'm sure nobody will abuse this.
Fake and gay as they say
I watch enough No Text To Speech to belive this is true. I even think he had a video about this
Anon can at least hope to appeal the suspension as its not a complete ban but support might take a while
I'm worried that for reporting all those servers and people, I will get a permaban as a thank you.
Whats the draw of discord? I don't get why people go on there. It's boring af and you gotta talk with people while you play video games. I'll go on if I absolutely have to for a group, but I avoid if I can.
Being able to enter and sit inside a call where your friends can see that a call is active and who is in call is a really nice feature. It completely negates having to ping a whole group that may or may not be available like with Skype.
Whats the draw of discord?
Chat plus streaming as a freemium service that has its hooks in with the networking effect.
Probably the biggest draw of Discord is how many people use Discord. But past that, it fills a bunch of real time social media roles well.
As a case in point, I'm in a game of Pathfinder Kingmaker with friends, and Discord does a good job of letting players join virtually, sharing screens, rolling dice, keeping a log of the different chats, pinning the links to the Kingdom management files, and providing a search function to find historical info.
This doesn't sound "user friendly" at all to me
I have no qualms about your getting banned for this.
You are who you associate with. For example: trump associates with Epstein. Should he not be banned from discord?
So, if anyone in this thread ever posts CP elsewhere on lemmy, or even here in this thread now that you're already here, you think your acct should be wholly banned from lemmy because you are who you associate with?
You are who you associate with.
Must be why in most democratic nations you have no freedom of association.
Believe it or not, most pedos aren't super open about it.
I still don’t understand the point of discord. I just deleted the app cause it was sooooo boring. The only social media I have is a perma banned reddit account (a few), snapchat (which I never use anymore as I have grown out of it and it has turned to absolute shit) and the lemmsters. Feeling good
That's cool man
