MichalBryxi, Is there a known #bug in #Discord about not being able to leave servers? I left the two marked here 5+ times already and at random occasions they re-appear back in my server list.
So far my observations are:
- It's not tied to app update
- It's not tied to app restart
- It's not tied to getting notification from said server
89luca89, Hi all
Due to a problematic telegram banning I've decided to only keep the Matrix room and a Discord channelJoin here:
https://discord.gg/fuvpxNvjYG
https://matrix.to/#/#distrobox:matrix.orgThe telegram chat will be deleted in the upcoming days
due to the ban.
jsit, If you "install" #Discord as a desktop app on macOS using "Add to Dock" from Safari, you can open multiple windows at once. So frustrating that you can't do this with the macOS or iPasOS app.
sharan,
SirTapTap, @sharan My server has a decent amount of gamers and/or masto users, though it's not quite specifically for that! We're chill though, LGBT friendly and all
sharan, That is cool! I was really thinking about specific Mastodon gamer server. All should be friendly toward anyone in my book.
Ten, Another gross use of machine learning.
chipx86, Hey, developers: The @reviewboard team's starting a new #Discord for devs to hang out, chat, and share what you're building.
We have channels for #django, #python, #javascript / #typescript, #opensource, #gamedev, and more.
You don't need to use or contribute to Review Board to hang out. (But you can follow development there, if you want.)
We hope to see people come in and hang out. The aim is a friendly, diverse community of devs.
Feel free to pass along the invite!
toplesstopics, ok that's eerie. Apparently the Mee6 bot that we use on #discord to assign roles now has built-in ai, so I tried asking it why there's still topless inequality and it immediately spat out this response. o.o (honestly I thought it would just see the word 'nipple' and refuse to answer)
toplesstopics, You saw it here first, folks: The MEE6 bot on #discord supports #freeTheNipple !
Tarrenvane, Dear #Discord, is it really necessary to run your updater when it's been no more than a half hour sunce I opened you last?
Crell, Reminder, you only have 5 days left to tell #Discord to pound sand on binding arbitration and protect your right to a jury trial:
Xanatos, If you do live in the USA and use Discord, take a look at this video.
You should properly write that mail and get back your rights or use another software.
stefano, I still don't understand how projects that are strongly focused on open-source and promote the open-source movement have their official support channel or discussion platform set as Discord.
gyptazy, @lcheylus I always have mixed feelings about such things.
While I’m fully into #FOSS and #federated services, I can also see the benefits of major and proprietary solutions from a beginners perspective.
I think it is always about the targeted user base and how to make it comfortable to them.
I can also see this with #BoxyBSD, where I’m targeting beginners who cannot afford virtual machines to learn and practice. However, to help them, you need to catch them at their starting point, which is mostly a well known service like Discord, Twitter etc. Beginners are not aware of the Fediverse, Matrix, IRC and all the other solutions. It won’t provide them or the communities to exclude them.
Moving code away from GitHub may reduce the visibility of projects and potential contributions. Moving support to nerd services may exclude them. Forcing them to deal with it, results in dead useraccoujts in long-term.
Teach them at the beginning, show them alternatives and as soon as they do it by their own will, they will switch and contribute.
I really love free and opensource software, projects and services but it does not mean that we should force people to avoid it. We should more be happy about people that decide to publish and contribute their code to the community in any way and also providing any solution to provide feedback, support etc. Decisions to a specific solution like Discord may have several reasons like not being aware of it, not having the time for it, no personal needs to deal with it (if it works, it works). Not everyone is deeply into FOSS or cares about it.
I always contributed heavily into opensource within the last years and was only on Twitter and never saw the needs for Matrix or Fediverse. I simply didn’t had the time nor the fun to deal with it - nowadays I’m running my own instances.
mcfly, German @stefano while I like Matrix a lot more and Boykott Discord people interact more with Discord. Which I don't like but can see in several communities
preslavrachev, To this day, I can’t get how #Discord works and why everyone is raving about it. I mean, I am following several communities on Discord and know the basics around, but for the life of me, given the chance, I won’t ever choose that flashy thing over some more sane means of online communication.
Am I the last person standing who does not get the hype around Discord? I mean, why is everyone hosting servers there - are they free forever or something?
oliver, @preslavrachev I can’t deal with Discord, so I gave up on all communities, that rely on it. I can't handle the flashy behaviours and „noise“. I prefer calmer community tools like Discourse.
pinjontall, You're running out of time to opt-out of #Discord attempting to take away your right to sue them and it's really easy to do! #forcedarbitration clauses like this should be illegal https://www.polygon.com/2024/4/20/24134970/discord-arbitration-how-to-opt-out
teleclimber, I want to ask a question to the #Headscale community which is on #Discord, and it's asking me to "verify my identity via my phone" before I can even post once? What the heck is this? I've used Discord before and have never been asked this. Is this a "server" setting or a new Discord thing?
In any case it makes really not want to participate there. Please #FOSS people, what the heck, why this love of Discord?
Ironically I got less pushback signing up for a functional @tailscale account 🤦♂️
ross,
Olly42, Message-Scraping, User-Tracking Service Spy Pet shut down by Discord.
Spy Pet, a service that sold access to a rich database of allegedly 3 billion messages and details on 600 million users, has seemingly been shut down. Discord said that the company's safety team had been "diligently investigating" Spy Pet and that it had banned accounts affiliated with it.
https://www.404media.co/discord-shuts-down-spy-pet-bots-that-scraped-sold-user-messages/
noodlejetski, @Olly42 the irony of supplementing the post with a picture generated by software trained on scraped data
Polychrome, #Discord continues its war on usability.
I'm guessing the next step is replacing what's left of the text input bar with an icon.
cliffwade, Don't forget, #AllThingsTech has our own Discord server for those that are looking to hang out and chat outside of Mastodon.
We feel that there are often times that longer, more in-depth conversations are wanted/needed and Discord is a great place to have those conversations.
It's a great place to give us feedback about our server to help make it a better place.
Come join here if you'd like as we'd love to have anyone and everyone!
shadeow, French Je suis tombé sur un truc hier ça m'a fait serrer. Ya un boug sur le serveur discord de Linux Mint qui est considéré par Discord comme membre d'une organisation terroriste en ligne...
Vous avez déjà vu ça ?! Parce que après des recherches sur lui j'ai pas vraiment vu un terroriste prêt à se faire sauter dans un café 'fin bref... je me demande bien à quoi ressemble les critères de discord...
#discord #terrorisme #terroriste
thual, French @shadeow mouais j'ai aussi un pote qui est considéré comme terroriste alors que bon...
Il est peut être un peu trop à droite et parfois pas très malin, il est pas terroriste non plus 😂
upmultimedia, Discord developers writing extra code to make sure their invite links expire by default
peterdrake, @upmultimedia The fine art of keyboard massage.
delegatevoid, Am I the only one who thinks #discord is just one giant mess in which almost everything gets lost in the noise. How did we come to this situation where everyone relies on this single, centralized chat service?
AngryAnt, @delegatevoid DPI? Something is blocking an entire federated network?
delegatevoid, @AngryAnt Deep Packet Inspection, as soon as it looks like a certain protocol it gets blocked.
Sometimes you can get lucky, it'll work for 20 minutes and then... finished. Right now the only thing that works consistently is delta, since it just uses imap/smtp which is not something anyone wants to block if they want to remain economically relevant.
mttaggart,
mttaggart, The list of known #SpyPet accounts has been published. Recommend mass-banning them ASAP: gist.github.com/Dziurwa14/05db50c66e4dcc67d129838e1b9d739a

jake4480, If you use Discord, you might wanna know this.
A service called Spy Pet is scraping Discord servers, archiving and tracking users' messages and activity, and then selling access to that data.
Spy Pet scrapes more than 10,000 Discord servers, and besides selling access to anyone with cryptocurrency, it offers the data for training AI models or to assist law enforcement agencies, according to its website.
Spy Pet claims to be tracking more than 14,000 servers, 600 million users, and includes a database of more than 3 billion messages.
(The article is paywalled probably, etc but it's here) https://www.404media.co/a-spy-site-is-scraping-discord-and-selling-users-messages
#Discord #security #SpyPet #privacy #scams #scammers #crypto #cryptocurrency #AI
silsinn9821, @jake4480 This only affects public #Discord servers whose channels are visible to everyone joining (including #SpyPet’s army of #selfbots, which range from blank-avatar accounts created by SpyPet itself to accounts stolen from other users via the usual scams like free Nitro). Private servers with clever #gatekeeping / #verification mechanisms (where the chat channels are hidden from view unless you get manually verified by the moderators) are immune to this message-scraping model.
jake4480, @silsinn9821 well THAT'S good, at least
alatitude77, Billions of public #Discord messages may be sold through a #scraping service | #dataset #llms #training #machinelearning #artificialintelligence https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2024/04/billions-of-public-discord-messages-may-be-sold-through-a-scraping-service/
zleap, If this has happened and they are in breach of the discord terms etc I hope discord take spypet to court and send them a very clear message on behalf of users.
