So what are gamers switching to next week?
>>7335889794chinks
Cant switch. Nothing else has comparable figures.
>>733588979They're switching back to Discord because there is nothing else available that is as feature rich and accessible.
anyone got that "boycotting call of duty" image with steamers playing it?
>>733589178Streamers didn't exist back when MW2 came out, lil bro.
>>733588979Whatever lets me DM friends. WhatsApp or something, I don't particularly care. I don't use servers anyway. I've used MSN, TeamSpeak, Steam, Vent. In fact Discord could completely disappear tomorrow and I probably wouldn't be bothered.
>>733589353SignalTelegramSessionMatrixThose are the ones I know of.
>>733589178
>>733588979I'm not in any furry gooner dens and use it mostly just for keeping up with the news on "official" servers, because everyone posts updates just on discord now so I don't think much will change. Assuming it will even ask me to verify, because I have a pretty old account, I'll just not do that and lose access to porn channels, big deal.
>>733588979I talk to friends in real life. I don't need the child grooming app and face tracking taking up valuable space and time
>>733589212I pissed so hard into my shower from the entrance of my bathroom that all my friends in fact called me The Streamer. So maybe get your story straight before you start spoutin shit, bitch.
>>733588979Nowhere, they will realize than no alternatives are as good as Discord and decide to comply so that they don't lose their friend group. Those who deleted their account will eventually realize the same and come back
>>733588979Root.
Nothing.
>>733589095if you use it as a gay social media platform maybe
>>733588979Marathon in-game voip
>>733589467
>>733589393thanks anon
>>733589768No. I need it to stream events and to hold weekly meetings to make sure the buisness is remaining profitable. Any and all homosexual inklings are banned on sight
>>733590046I've played splatoon I dunno if ANY inklings are straight
>>733589393the real story here is shills infiltrated the boycott community with fresh accounts before release. Its fake as fuck "pls give up"
>>733590089a slight knowledge or suspicion; a hint, not the niggas from splat.
Most people won't notice or care, because they don't use discord for porn.
>>733590150What about antisemitism and copyright infringement?
>>733590046Use zoom like an adult or create your own godawful platform like corporations do
>>733590150>because they don't use discord for porn.Besides, NSFW don't necessarily mean porn.
>>733588979can someone please explain to me what the difference between "teen mode" and "china-already-has-all-your info mode" is?
>>733590225LOL no that's even worse.
People will gradually move on to darkweb as the internet ist getting censored, micromanaged and draconian. Nowadays darkweb gets associated with shady stuff but I think it'll turn into a more wild west internet like the early 00s as more and more people migrate there
https://www.gamedate.org/
>>733588979I never used it to begin with
>>733588979Probably I'll lag behind a bit because I'll have to convince my friends to switch to something. I'm deleting the shit the second it asks for verification. But my friends are significantly less conscious about shit like this, so it'll take some convincing.Our DnD sessions are gonna be on hiatus until we can switch though lol.
>>733588979If I get a prompt for showing ID or my face I'm going to teamspeak or steam. If I don't get any prompt I'll stay until I do but I'm not playing their ads in the background for orbs for "free" nitro anymore.
>>733588979They'll show their face and ID
>>733589391I've been using matrix for soon 10 years with my friends and the clients were a bit too wonky at the start, but it's a nice alternative to irc for us nownever seen anyone else mention it here
stoat is aight and open source
The most surprising thing so far was a early 20 zoomer girl telling me she will delete her dc account and asking me where we should go to keep in contact. I genuinely expected everyone i knew on dc to not care and comply like cattle.
>>733590401Sure, teen mode disables your ability to add new friends or DM people outside of your current friends list, it also limits your ability to join or speak in stage servers. There are believed to be more restrictions to be announced but so far that's the big ones. If you want to give your ID to them you are giving them to a vendor currently working with the US government and military contractors as well as police contractors conducting AI bodycam tests up in Canada in the Edmonton area and the UK right now.
>>733590790I thought they dropped that company?
discord already knows that i say nigger from scanning my posts so ill just keep using itelse if i get kicked, ill go back to msm messenger, retvrn to monke sovl
>>733590945they moved to another company that also works under same parent company. Just smoke & mirror
>>733591057oh lmao
>>733590779most young people don't like the military industrial complex or US interventionist policies especially with the current administration so to most giving your credentials to a company actively supporting and building a more public digital encyclical entity in your backyard >>733590790No absolutely not, if you submit your ID you are giving it to the gay LotR-obsessed faggot that took down Gawker by funding Hulk Hogan's legal defense because they outed him and his greasy digital surveillance before MSM.
>>733591103in your backyard is a no-no* oopsie
>>733588979Here I guess
>>733588979*groomers
>>733591103>Discord's age verification screens you for 269 separate checks including: anti-semitism, terrorist prospects, police watchlist check, political surveillance check and checks every file uploaded for specific flags determined by AIl m f a o
>>733588979teamspeaki
>>733591103>>733591381cut the fluff and just include the alarmist part
>>733588979Fluxer
>>733588979I've been living under a rock and don't know what's going on, why are people leaving Discord?
>>733590979You're going to be put in prison for antisemitism
Can't you just use https://ageman.pages.dev/ to verify your identity?
>>733588979Anyone dumb enough to use discord is going to keep using discord.
If they’re gonna keep track and steal my data for themselves why can’t they at least keep it safe?
>>733591897This new system works better than the previous one that was tricked by this
>>733591897They still can fingerprint devices and sniff PMs or servers.
>>733588979If you can still use it for voice chat without doing the goy shuffle, then I'll probably still use it
>>733591787A couple weeks ago Discord announced that they're gonna assume everyone is a teenager and in order to access 18+ channels you either need to fork over some ID, have your face scanned or hope that Discord already has enough data on you that they can tell that you're an adult
>>733592070Okay, let's say we get a new face exploit that tricks the verification system. Or maybe just using the Javascript exploit. What would be the issue at that point?>>733592086Well yeah they're obviously scanning your messages for some keywords and shit, possibly marketing purposes, but that's basically a lot of the net. If it's free and high quality then there's a bit of that advertisement trash going on, which I don't mind too much as long as it's non intrusive and I can safely ignore it.
>>733591787Verify your account with facial scan/ID and send it to >>733591103 this AI/military megacorp that already left a bunch of information up on a public clientside space detailing the 250+ checks performed on you if you submit
>>733592086>>733592164>>733592210they are scanning your messages for 269+ risk factors including political alignment or writing and suspicious communications and building a scored profile of you>>733591590
>>733591787Do you remember the age verification bullshit they pulled a few months back in the UK and Australia? They've decided to implement that universally. They're now limiting everyone's usage of Discord unless you consent to a full scan of your face or photo ID. The actual "verification" is just an AI estimate, but the data you send is being sold to and harvested by governments and megacorps the world over to create a profile on you so they can monitor you for wrongthink. It's also an incredibly insecure process and some users' data has already been leaked before.
>>733592328I hope a human sees my deranged conversations from anons with /trash/
>>733592210>what would be the issue at that point?I think the issue is that they're asking for it in the first place. Besides, even if a new exploit was found, smart people like you and me who would use it make up maybe 1% of Discord's userbase. And while my info won't be on there the fact that they'll go on exploiting others leaves a bad taste in my mouth and I don't really want to support such actions
>>733592368nta, same. i want a glowie to have to sit and suffer through 100k+ messages of me and cute girlanons being pervertsthe closest thing to "bad" shit they'd find is when I roleplayed shota x loli with some of them
>>733592328I'm mostly using Discord to share random memes and discuss vidya/anime with the occasional political discussion that doesn't really go into extreme shit like TND or whatever. I really really don't want to give them my face or ID, but I don't care if they know I'm kind of a chud.Now, I know some more advanced fingerprinting and cross referencing with Google or three letter agencies could help them connect my Discord identity with my real life one, but that's beyond the scope of my threat model. I just don't want them to have a direct way to link me.
>>733592490You know loli and shota aren't allowed on discord so if they saw it they'd ban you right
I still check my account a few times a year because I can't let go of the times long past but now I have no choice but to delete it and I'm not handling it very wellI really just wish I could get over it, it's so tiring to be stuck in a world that doesn't exist
>>733592368>>733592490>>733592601Nobody sees it you just get an arbitrary number assigned by the same thing moderating YouTube and pushing awesome new creators to your front page. The same program pushing temu/dropshipping ads to the front of your algorithm because you had the gall to click one shitty pair of headphones on Amazon. The same thing that got a dude arrested and barred from a casino because it thought him and a guy with a different name, height, general build, DOB, physical features, etc. was the same dude.As I mentioned earlier they are testing AI bodycams in Canada right now in their most Republican/right province now and the UK (because the UK can't say no to anything.) It's inevitable that you get tallied into the system but to do so willingly and participate is just stupid.
>>733592481I absolutely agree this is a huge issue and linked with a wide and transparent attempt to end online anonymity under the pretense of "protect the children". It's huge. People should be burning up the streets.I worded it badly, but what I meant was "what are the bypasses that allow us to keep profiting from the features for a while without cucking out". At some point we might have to completely end this cursed relationship with a predatory company but it's not so easy.
>>733592668Yeah, but if discord hits the point where they're scanning every single DM then why would I care about getting banned? I'd just move elsewhere.
>>733588979Why would I want to talk to "gamers"?These are the same faggots who think Dark Souls 3 is better than Elden Ring and claim Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 cant be enjoyed because pic related.Youre all a bunch of retarded faggots with bad taste and I hope you get hit by busses.Dont need Discord, never did. Fuck off
>>733592490>girlanonsdo we tell him?
>>733588979Enter the Matrix
Discordsisters....not like this....https://www.youtube.com/shorts/zZ98DPIp0a4
>>733592736You kind of have to make pragmatic choices here. There are tons of solutions that provide some of Discord's features but not all and with a lot of added friction when it comes to forcing people to move there. You're not getting your groupchat to migrate unless Discord REALLY makes it clear they're fucking you in the ass. I'm already being preyed upon by the algorithms as I use Google, Youtube and other shit for convenience in some ways, but I only do it when it counts. When the time gained is worth the privacy loss. Which sounds crazy for a privacy purist (and I understand that) but we're all human and have limited time.I might change my mind and decide the privacy loss isn't worth it depending on how the situation evolves, but so far my rule remains the same: no direct connection to my identity, that's the hard line in the sand. I'm still going to be stalked by browser fingerprinting, some tracking cookies and such, but this is a lot weaker.
>>733588979Nothing, I can't switch. I use it to talk to one irl friend and he doesn't care about the age verification stuff.
>>733592945I know most of them are probably "girls", that was implied in the phrasing anon. I don't care, it's not like I'm ever physically meeting up or seeing these people.
>>733588979I ditched it years ago when every discord I was on turned into some cult of personality headed by a narcissist. I noticed the pattern and ditched the piece of shit.
hello fellow netizenswhat will be the next platform we need to install backdoor access so we can steal your personal information and identiy for our own purposes
>>733593010You should link actual useful information instead of some faggot's youtube short
>>733592731I miss them all so much and none of them think about me. I'm so pathetic
>>733590223Fuck Jews.
>>733591057This is a common LLC tactic where it's cheaper to purchase a new license for business than to fix your shit.
>>733592490That content is banned from Discord. Right now through device fingerprinting Google/Gemini possesses the ability to detect multiple users on a device and estimate the probability that they are shared accounts (through media uploads, shared logins, shared UID, supercookies, battery/device sync times, sensor metrics, NTP offset, etc.) It's honestly amazing the amount of ways that Google can now track your device. Most of this shit was like conspiracy nut shit back in the day but the fact that we actually have this stuff being used in practice now is fucked up (but cool.)>>733592913to where? with who?>>733593034I drug my feet in the sand on Discord, was late to join and never picked up Nitro or any of that faggot shit. I think I sent 203 messages last year according to the wrapped and half of those were to my brother. We already moved our game administration chat back over to Steam. I really don't care if Gabe knows we're banning someone for being an annoying tranny, at least he won't flag me for typing tranny.
>>733593380I completely refuse all of the Nitro shit obviously. And yeah if you don't really have a groupchat on Discord there's no point in using it. Unless you want to join established communities there of course, which might prove useful in a lot of cases. Sadly a lot of resources have also been relegated to Discord lately.
not my problem lmao
>>733593578engaging with the systems at all is retarded imo
>>733593578Retard >>733592086
I fucking hate discordNow the modding communities I lurk are going to get scattered to the four windsI miss forums so goddamned much
>>733593692what's wrong with moddb for mods?
>>7335889794chan you fucking stupid whore OP
>>733593803Nobody uses it?At least, not in the niche communities I'm in. Though I think someone published something for one of the games to gamebanana, so that may be a potential avenueI'm more worried about losing a place to discuss things/post information than a place to publish mods
>>733593662>by feeding the system bad data they win
>>733590526That's pretty much what everybody is gonna do
>>733593936That's not what I said, retard.
>>733588979Literally all I do on Discord is post NSFW Rule 34 artwork and animations as well as hentai doujin while chatting with my friend in our DM. ZOG and the jew who owns Discord can fellate my foreskin and eat my smegma.
>>733593186What are you anon, a girl going through a breakup? Just play linkin park or whatever kids do nowadays, I don't know I'm a boomer, and get over it.

If you use a touch screen to type, if it was manufactured and shipped to North America or Europe you can bet it also can log flight time between keys and dwell time during user sessions. You're a fucking retard if you think that government tracking is "OI SHOW US YA PICTURE INNIT"
>>733594312but how does any of that effect me?
>>733590706>SaaSFake open source
New Yorkers need to show ID to shovel snow now
>>733592731I understand the feeling, but I can't imagine having it for a time when discord existed.
>not mentioning the single most popular alternative
>>733593186Dude, not the right place or time for this.
IRC is coming back!
>>733588979Switching?
>>733594403Depends on where you live and what you're doing in your spare time. The point is that any of this can be brought down on you to track you. Willingly connecting to a terminal or website using the same registered device you have signed in to at ANY point on your primary account is just fucking stupid and you might as well upload your photo anyway instead of playing around in Gmod or showing us how you owned the AI. I have no doubt that you probably did just that. If you don't keep a secondary work device that is never connected to your home wi-fi for interacting with yours or any other country's equivalent of .gov/.us while working in the tech sector or any sort of management then you are a fucking retard. I don't want to give AI /ANY/ of my data if I can help it, people like you don't mind giving them your info by connecting to them in the first place. We are not the same.
>>733588979Does this mean people are going back to discussion forums?
>>733594795this is going to be implemented for everything online soon enough
>>733590790Also Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Spain, France, Germany and more.
>>733590046>Weekly meetingWhy not use ms teams?
>>733590945It doesn't matter which company it is. These laws are entirely designed with such """"companies""" in mind. They entirely rely on the Five Eyes principle that you surveil not on your own citizens but through your allies who then leak data about your guys to you, to bypass any laws against using surveillance.Then once that normalizes they flip a switch and just surveil. There's already CCTVs and other cameras everywhere now. We're fully becoming Chinaized whether you're in america or in europe. And the future is one where the smallest infraction will get you caught instantly.
>>733588979It'd be nice if everybody went back to using Steam group chats like we used to before Discord became a thing, but that's never gonna happen let's be realEverybody's just going to put up with "teen by default" mode because Discord is too integral now in internet society to just abandon. Any alternatives will just end up like the million of twitter alternatives - dead in a week.
>>733592736same shit that said a police officer turned into a frog on call out will be determining if you're really anti semetic or just joking around
>>733595086NTA but Teams reserves like 2.5GB of RAM on startup for some reason. It's completely unfit for gaming.
>>733588979Stoat
>>733594975*everything online that's run/controlled by a for profit corporationthere's no practical mechanism to apply it to everything else unless you require it at the ISP
>>733594564NTA but discord has been around for a decade now. My online group were early adopters and I remember those early discord times fondly. Though I myself was already mid 20s then and I suppose that's somewhat late for a time to be nostalgic about.
>>733594312>stored browser user:bigfuckersucker@gmail.com|annbmotherford@yahoo.com|myrealemail@gmail.comOkay, how do they have that without cross referencing with Google and shit or something?
>>733594607It has all the same problems as Discord, with not even any of the gaming bullshit or community benefits
>>733595224that anon is talking about holding meetings, not gaming. I am assuming it's probably some faggy zoomer reason though because no normal formal business is streaming events and holding meetings in Discord. So they're probably afraid of getting called an unc or having to steer a bunch of goldfish-brained children through how to sign in to Teams or Slack.
>>733588979i dont use discord for porn so nothing
>>733592180The way Discord gathers the data is to look through other ID vendors that might've scraped together your ID or picture, so it just means if you have already ID-scaned yourself into something else, Discord will find that, which tells us what all of this is.
>>733588979waiting for elon musk to make X chat a viable discord alternative
>>733593302Unfortunately that is no longer allowed.
>>733588979>switch I, have NEVER, used discord. NOT ONCE. You wish you were me.
>>733590374The only thing that will get hit by this is porn. NSFW channels and servers? Restriction set by server staff, just tell them to take that off.
>>733592328theyre going to see all my sext messages?
>>733595612You have to. You're a social creature.
>>733595224>reserving 2.5g of RAM is debilitating enough to cause my games to stop runningI want third world NIGGERS to leave my fucking hobby; these subhumans running on discarded thinkpads and 14 year old technology
>>733589113>Matrix w/ Element client (or similar full featured ones)>Signal >Mumble (if you just need voice, not text chat)There are some others, but the point is use something open source and interoperable or federated especially if it needs to be accessible to people you don't already know. If its ONLY for people you know and communicate with out of band , then there are even more options You fuckers didn't listen years ago when we told you to get off centralized proprietary for profit platforms, so I hope this is enough
What are you even using discord for?
>>733595879grooming legal adults
>>733595331ad-tech mesh, if they really NEEDED to find you they could approach a company like LiveRamp or Neustar who are in the business of sitting on complex hashes of tied device IDs and associated emails among TONS of other metadata you are leaking everywhere you go. If you sign into HelloVideoGames using bigfuckerdaddy@gmail.com and use that same device at any point to log in to DeepDickPornos on myrealemail@gmail.com your associated markers (canvas, webgl, super cookies, audiocontext, etc.) are logged with both. Should that information ever be sold off to a data broker those two shared blocks of info (cookies, webgl, handshakes, etc.) will instantly click together and then the system realizes that both accounts are likely tied together, that's just one way. Me and some friends essentially used the same method (broker->decrypt) to mess with another crew in a game back in the day, being as vague as possible but they were not able to log in to some things or recover items afterwards. Lots of websites share tracking pixels like amazon, tradedesk, facebook, etc. and if even one links to either account those metrics that I mentioned earlier like tracked keyboard flight and dwelling times can act as a behavioural marker for a forensic data analyst. If the CIA or whoever wanted to they could use uXDT like in >>733593380 (listening for a high frequency tone emitted by your phone that the human ear cannot detect) and cross reference if it's caught in two separate instances in the same dwelling.There's not really any way to make yourself safe outside of going the Ted K. way and shacking up in the middle of fucking nowhere but even then..
>>733595879A bunch of idiots decided it was a good hosting alternative to replace a forum or a wiki
>>733595879My friends and I use it for voice and text communication while we game or play DnD. It happened to be the most convenient alternative when we were jumping ship from Skype years ago.It'll take some doing to convince most of my friends to switch now though. They're all old and not as privacy conscious as me.I hope holding my biweekly dnd game hostage on another platform will be enough
>>733595950I always knew young perverts had it out for us innocent middle aged men
>>733589095stupid tripfag, nobody cares or watches your streams
>>733595879Links to donghua subs.
>>733595954Yeah so it's about crossreferencing, right?That's a high quality post and I appreciate the documentation on various fingerprinting techniques (it just never stops evolving) but basically I don't want to be in a direct database. If my adversaries are so motivated that they're going to be multiple FAANG tier companies coordinating on my ass, I can't do anything short of drastic measures and huge compromises on everyday life, but I can at least avoid linking the critical things directly.
>>733595879wow
>>733596132You dont know what my streams are. Order up on this nigga for 2 for talking nonsense.
>>733595879For the official /bag/ discord
>>733595758>a chat program should use 2.5gb >recommending Teams to a "gamer" at allI want normalfags to get the fuck off my board, off the internet, and off this planet. Get the hell out.
>>733595954NTAThanks for the clear breakdown. I was aware of most of that but not the specifics of what the tech that enabled it was called.The only comfort with all this is that most of the really invasive efforts still require someone to specifically want to look into you. You can still be somewhat private as just another face in the crowd. But I hate that its come to that.
>>733596197nobody cares about your faggy n64 streams, tripfaggot
>>733595642You are retarded you can’t even swear in non 18+ servers
>>733596262Yeah they can really just make your browser draw something and based on your specific hardware, drivers, screen and such it's not that hard to get a pretty good fingerprint for you. And that's really just the tip of the iceberg.https://amiunique.org/fingerprintThat said it's not guaranteed and they might not be able to track you wherever you go. Like you said the silver lining is that it takes a conscious effort. What I fear is this shit being automated and clear cut. That's why they're trying to pass Digital ID everywhere.
>>733596394I dont stream N64. You think I'm that? Regardless I am a generational poster, inaugural 4chan Hall of Fame inductee, and recipient of the 4chan Lifetime Achievement award bestowed upon me at the 20th anniversary celebration on October 1st, 2023. You are a bitter incel jealous of my success. We are NOT the same.Order up.
>>733595284They're trying to push it on the OS level now. Disgusting.
>>733596175>>733596262No problem, I love reading about this stuff even if I maybe only understand 3/4 of the really crazy shit. Yes it's mostly about cross-referencing as at the end of a day it takes a person to perform that final check (after hours upon hours of decryption) and say, "Yup, this is guy is definitely John B. from Nampa, Idaho. His World of Warcraft login is using the same email that was used on this MIDI-sharing forum in 2011. He uses the same password for this account that uses an alternate email we see pop up on several websites tied to this Samsung S20 he uses." The idea of a browser printing an 'invisible' picture made out of math right on your browser in that blue bottom right corner that some computer wizard can use to verify you were sitting at your desk posting about Magical Girls at 12:36PST is fucking bonkers. As careful as I am I have so much data scattered across the net from careless forum usage, Xbox Live and hanging around in MUDs in my early days.
I’ll say it againRepublicans carry a large amount of blame for Discord's new age verification policies. Republican politicians have been spearheading laws that shift the blame of early porn exposure from parents who take no effort to monitor their kids internet usage to businesses and require adult websites to use ID verification to ensure no minors are looking at porn. All but one of the states that require ID for accessing adult websites are red, and over half of all US citizens are living in these statesI’ll admit that it’s extremely difficult to be a kid on the modern internet and not come across porn. You saw all those shitty porn memes get popular around the pandemic like the Ankha animation. Also yeah, most porn websites are owned by kikes who absolutely know a large percentage of their users are not adults and are a net negative on society, but the laws republicans are writing still set the precedent that simply asking “are you 18+?” is legally not enough for age verification. With the expanding list of red states adopting these laws, and with countries like the UK already under this framework, Discord is just biting the bullet and falling in line to prevent themselves from being sued. We have prominent figures in the political party of supposedly personal rights advocating for our freedom to be taken away and no one in power stood up to them. Not to say that leftists aren’t also interested in making the internet a panopticon where nothing problematic can be made, but republicans have no interest in keeping the internet a place where people can say what’s on their mind without worrying about being doxxedI'm not trying to make this a left vs right thing since the left has shown they are fine with our rights being taken away. I just want to make it clear that you are not avoiding the online panopticon by voting for the lesser evil
>>733596537nobody knows who you are nigger lol
>>733596241>calling teams a chat program like it's fucking mirc or something

>>733596698>he fell for the us vs them memeDo you know what's better than my team winning and saying your team's rules are stupid and now we get to be racist and call trannies men?money
>>733596698I'm sure I'll likely get angry replies calling me an idiot and will be told that it's actually the Jews behind all of this and that both sides of American politicians are bad. You wouldn't be wrong, but almost everyone who would make that kind of reply are the type of people who will still go to the polls and vote red anyways, so at the end of the day, you're still just a Shabbos goy enabling them. You have been voting for the lesser evil for a long time and they know they can always rely on you, which gives them no incentive to actually do shit in your favorFunny how they’re the party that’s always talking about how we need to hang pedos and protect the kids, and they’ll have no problem trampling on our privacy to do that, but will drag their feet in the ground to stop anyone on Epstein’s list from being named because THEY deserve privacy>>733596761Don’t know, but it sure isn’t voting republican or democrat
>>733594795Do you know how difficult it is to have a discussion board/forum today? If the feds don't like you, that shit's gonna get nuked by CP spammers. The internet has become so pozzed and gay it's unreal. And no, the solution is not an "altnet" because those fags still control all the cables and nodes it would pass through.
>>733596761The solution is for parents to actually shepherd and protect their children. A 12-year-old isn't going to burst into flames from seeing a boob online, but giving him unrestricted internet access isn't a great idea either. There's no changes that can be made on a platform level to "protect children" (a nebulous phrase that shifts the blame onto the public for existing, and posits all external contact as predatory) that do not primarily function to stifle the rights of average adults. We don't make the door to a bar 50 pounds so that kids can't open it, we have social expectations of who can and can't go in and why, and people working there doing a good-faith effort to monitor who goes in and out. More importantly, every bar isn't talking to every other bar about where each adult goes and when.
>>733588979I already switched to TeamSpeak6. Got my own hosted server. Voice chat is sub-1ms latency, 1080p streaming, encrypted communication, unlimited users, persistent file storage (unlimited currently), channels for everything you'd want, users can come into my server and generate their own encrypted/locked channel that deletes itself when they disconnect and all of the content, chat has full embed support, and more. Why would anyone use Goycord these days?

>>733597053Not fantastic without some concrete measures to "parents to actually sheperd their children"The only things I could think of are such like applying fines to parents who let children below the certain age from accessing, but then how do you do that without mass survaillaince in the first place?; countries like Australia that have enacted bans on <16 year olds on social media apply sanctions only on the platforms
>>733597095>sub-1ms latencyWhy do you need TeamSpeak if everyone is already in the same room?
>>733597097>the evil nigga that made paypal and bankrolled the modern US digital panopticon 1v1'd Elon and assfucked him so hard he had to close his company originally called Xhuh
I don't even have Discord installed on my devices anymore. I was somewhat active there until a few years ago when I realized I don't actually like anyone I've met there. So I just kinda abandoned my account. To be honest I don't talk to anybody nor do I crave friends, it really feels like a massive waste of time.
>>733597243Its nuts but that doesn't apply me.
>>733597650>that doesn't apply me>ESL>also cannot properly read an image with NICE BIG LETTERS in ENGLISH holy fuck I am laughing so hard it hurts
>>733597716Stop giving it attention you fucking retard
>>733597369You're still coming at it from the perspective that it's the state's business in the first place. Child welfare is already a huge morass where policing and defining neglect is all but impossible, let alone learning enough about any one family's situation to decide what's actually best for a given child. Trying to mandate something of that complexity on the scale of the entire internet is a fool's errand. And, it's important to note, it's not actually the goal. This isn't a situation where stopping kids from getting into adults-only online spaces involves setting up an authoritarian panopticon, the surveillance and control is the point from the get-go. That's the goal. Protecting the children is just the ad campaign.
>>733597716I dont know what's so funny. Not ESL. Only know English and Bad English. Order up for 2.
Unless servers start migrating off alternatives are basically DOA, there's a ton of good information, utilities/mods and support gated behind Discord for all kinds of games
>>733595762None of those are as feature rich or accessible as discord. I don't know why you bothered replying.

>>733598275>so triggered he needs a filter to protect his fragile egoThe absolute state of zoomers.
Filtered the trip and it cleaned up the thread nicely. All of those posts just gone like they don't exist, no marker or flag to indicate where they were, if they respond to me again it's not even going to attempt to notify me so long as they post with a tripcode. They effectively have been erased from my existence. lol
it's in a text prompt box stowed away in some list I'm not going to look at ever again for at least half a year out of curiosity or something
>>733598484Does 4chanX have a setting to completely remove filtered posts from sight? Hiding them by default is fine, but if I can completely obliterate the post from view that would be better.
>>733589095>nothing else compares.It's literally a knockoff of Skype.You fuckers are also retarded as fuck.

If you are versed in ublock and not an ESL like the tripfag in this thread just make a custom filter for that particular person. unless they change the trip you aren't seeing anything from them ever again, they just stop existing entirely. I don't though, they can still see my posts, faggot lol :)

>>733598064What features that you're using are you really missing? For most people, its nothing. Especially Signal - which is basically a drop in replacement for mobile phonefag messengers like WhatsApp or whatever while also having stupid stuff like Line/Kakao/WeChat stickers - but instead of buying, you install them for free - all while being FOSS and e2e encrypted. Element is like Discord - voice, chat, IM, video. - all e2ee and federated. You can use any server or run your own while connecting to others. I really don't see what is keeping people away outside of a handful of autists who need some rather niche features done a particular way and/or people who just want to find any excuse not to try something different because they were not actually using screen sharing reactions day to day or some such.

>>733595182Don't be so pessimistic speaki. Tumbler did something similar and imploded. Twitter off-shoots were created due to politics, not due to the site culling content to get people to oust their identities.

>>733598784>m-muh pedophilerino!I don't understand this. Just don't go to the large femboy servers. Discord is for you and your friends to communicate, why would you invite unwholesome pedophiles?
>>733588979Literally no one is moving away. There is gonna be like 1-2% that move for a few months and then most of them will be back on discord.

I won't be switching unless it actually impacts me.I don't use discord for porn or any of that stupid shit so I don't really think it will do anything to me.Only reason I'd switch is if the groups of friends I hang with switch, and they won't do vent or ts3 or anything, they need their screenshare, so discord is probably it. They have a lottttttttt of slack because of how fucked skype was, and how comparatively decent discord is.

>>733588979I quit using Discord something like a year ago. Just wasn't worth it. I had a finite amount of hopium to burn through to try to find some buds and it didn't pan out so now I just talk to myself through 4chan posts when I really want to ramble about a game
>>733597379.1ms latency for same room actually. And because if you're gaming on multiple PCs in the same room you can't exactly have speakers on and you can't hear each other while wearing headphones. For friends over the network they get about 6.6ms peak latency. It is excellent. And above CD quality audio. Teamspeak's VOIP audio channel is super high quality. Enough that you can play high quality music over the mic channel for everyone to enjoy.
>>733588979No other program allows the same set up of features, so how about a multi-program solution? Are there any apps that allow discord type streaming but standalone?
>>733606047I'm right, I should really stop talking to myself as its a sign of mental unwellness. I should start exercising, eating right, and playing video games that stimulate my mind rather than my dick.

>>733606319You said it, me
>>733606537can you not think?Its established content in kids shows which denies any justification to use kids as the cause to censor it. Also i get that you dont touch grass but guilds have irl meetups and adults drink alcohol. Even a simple food sharing discord will include alcohol.

Anon, you can't make long-term friendships on the internet like the old days. Unless you roll exactly 20 on luck, the probability of making buddies online is very slim. Best to be on relatively obscure but active forums, but my point stands.I notice that most normies are very much uptight and introverted, especially in the big city. I thought I was an introverted sperg but social media buckbroke the average normie to being worse than nerds from a few decades prior.As for making buddies, I'm on the same boat, except I stopped using Discord more than a few years ago when all the people I knew IRL using Discord ghosted me. The average Zoomer is uptight, selfish, hedonistic, apathetic and irresponsible.Unironically though, I wish you good luck anon.

>>733607117If you log in to the same Discord account on either machine the relevant metadata would still match up (traffic patterns or even just local device proximity, ie bad device sniffing networks in your pocket while you have your personal phone also connected to/searching for wifi/connected to network.) Once it gets added to a massive hash it would be grouped with like-data, again if someone really wanted to find you they would be spending actual days, if not hours, decrypting and manually parsing the information to re-verify. Having both devices at ANY point on the same local network would also be an instant ace for any amateur detective pulling apart your encrypted information, obviously it's not a complete got'cha if you're living in a large complex or primarily using a shared network but it's little things like that. It's kind of like committing a crime in the 50s vs doing something now; there's a billion ways to catch you including your ass hairs and the Arby's combo you picked up at lunch and how long it sat in your stomach, public/private cameras crossed by on ATMs and private property, it just takes someone dedicated to piece together that info (though I am sure machines are getting better and better at doing so.) You have to consider that whatever your primary personal account is is probably rifle with personal metadata and metrics. All it would take is that data being grouped in with your alternate account in ANY capacity, a file transfer, logged into same network, NFC/Bluetooth transfer. Honestly though unless you're Saddam or El Chapo I would not worry about them going CIA on you. It's more concerning if a personal account with banking info, government ID or personal passwords gets tied to a 'bad' block, makes it online and then someone with ill-intentions purchases your info.

It is better to not create that data in the first place. OPSEC is very important, however, and vast majority of normies simply don't care.>You have to consider that whatever your primary personal account is is probably rifle with personal metadata and metrics.Correct. If you have dealt with any online paperwork or university accounts, you'll quickly know this.>Honestly though unless you're Saddam or El Chapo I would not worry about them going CIA on you.Agree. No one gives a fuck about the average person, unless they are start becoming a threat. Banal things are starting to become increasingly illegal but my point stands. We're increasingly headed towards a patrimonial-oriented society, where you start to get away with shit the more "valued" and connected you are.In other words, if you don't pose a threat you're not targeted. But if something does happen to you (e.g. theft) then the thief gets away with it. But if (You) do the same thing then they go down on you. Hope it makes sense.

>>733609980Aren't you inviting VPN Fingerprinting into your metrics, you're routing traffic through a data center which (most) modern websites flag and then appropriately scale their hardware siphoning for that specific user (webgl, canvas, audiocon) if it detects VPN usage.. also do you have a separate modem for the ghost machine as they'd link the two devices or more through traffic pattern analysis if they were EVER routed through the same modem and powered on. Again it's a lot to go through just to avoid giving data to the machine but big tech is getting better and better at scrutinizing us and tagging us. Honestly, power has often historically afforded people leeway when it comes to matters concerning authority or security, I don't think we're drifting towards it, I think it's just how we are. We are just gaining better tools to actively track and report on it.

>>733597095>>733610647>unlimited usersDon't you need a license for anything over 32?And reason most people don't use it is because of having to have someone actually host it, not many people have a good enough understanding on how to host a server, let alone the extra hardware to host it if not on your own PC, which I assume could have potential for performance loss.

But at what point is it too much? Someone who had a coma 20 years ago who woke up would pretty much be appalled by the apathy of normies and the things they go through. I wonder if someone with today's mentality would find things much more absurd 20 years later.Semi-related, but I wanted to know your thoughts on the following:>Linux machine for web browsing>Airgapped Windows machine for everything elseI'm well aware this is not a silver bullet.>How would the data be transferred?Either via NAS, file sharing on a local network or perhaps via a USB storage device. NAS and local network sharing do have obvious drawbacks but are more convenient.
We switched to Steam
I don't understand why people are saying TeamSpeak is an alternative. If you're just using discord for voice calls this doesn't effect you whatsoever. Discord is used because of its persistent text chat channels, like IRC on steroids. Are normalfags retarded
>>733611360I didn't even know steam had this
I have no friends so this hardly affects me. The like two people I talk to when they randomly remember I exist most likely won’t even notice I’m gone
>>733611360Asuka Canonically Won
>>733611360>dont want to give your data to palantir>instead, give your data to palantirretard
>>733611376People have no idea what TeamSpeak is or how it works, yes they are retarded. TS quality is also dogshit in general even without all the other bad shit.
Less than 1% of user base will try something else for a week or two and less than 0,1% will stick with some alternative. We have seen this with every single thing people claim to not like or genuinely dislike, but everyone else uses it so it's better to be part of the everyone.
>>733611429No ID needed doe
>>733611187I don't disagree, self-hosting is much better. But for most people it's not an option, especially having to pay for a server when there is much simpler methods that don't involve it, albeit with their own cons mainly being reliance on a centralized service. Same reason I assume you went with TS6 instead of say Matrix, as the point of entry is a major hurdle for many.
>>733611360>recognize at least 3 anons in your friends list that are schizophrenic serial groomers erp'ing with at least 20 peopleCareful dude

>>733611195>the bypass is to write OPEN in big letters on the locked door then pull on the locked doors >that means it's openI also fondly remember when I tricked my friends into thinking The Times was calling them out for being gay.
>>733611414>no friendsYou are the kind of person that could actually genuinely benefit from joining discord channels. Like real ones centered around specific hobbies and not the erp kind.
>>733595642Everything the government doesn't like will be hidden away behind those ID walls. Everything the government doesn't like will therefore be perfectly tracked. They don't even have to put any effort into finding out who is looking at the hateful stuff.
I'm 100% convinced that this ID/age verification push is the following>training AI models on real IDs (you see goy, it's just a second)>conducting hundreds of terrorism, espionage, criminal record, politically exposed person, etc. checks on citizens to use the internet>(((remote attestation))) for computers (see colorado bill)>ending general-purpose computingand it will only get worse
>>733611360You can't hide Kizuna from me, I know exactly what this is. Let me IN.
>>733611616why not just go outside and make friends or go to work and do that like a normal person? unless you work in some faggy desk job or with women
>>733595879Most of it is erping with random people in the internet with them 90% being 30+ and most discussions revoving around NSFW topics and/or anime. Everything else has to do with submitting bug reports or accessing game related shit that is only through discord for some reason.
>>733611609https://youtu.be/5LsF4FF6gO4?si=GXd8WdOuJxMQzM1u
>>733611360I have never seen this shit on steam.
>>733611746I have.Big issue with it is steam streaming is fucking bricked and has a million times the lag when it does work.
>>733611457I already told anyone that wasn't moving was going to have to install a second software or contact me elsewhere. I'm not giving shit to discord.
>>733611714>links to video of people complaining it's broken? ? ?
>>733611697>why not just go outside and make friendsThat's not how you meet people with similar interests to you.>or go to work and do that like a normal personEveryone I work with is married.On discord you can have friends, or you can keep things at a comfortable social distance while still discussing and swapping info on the things you care about. I find the latter to be an extremely ideal situation.
>>733611360HOW
>>733611793I know. I haven't used discord and certain other apps/sites for years so we are actually the <0,1% who are able to quit at least one app/site.
>>733610397imagine if discord introduced captcha after every post like 4chan did
>>733605391so retards like you have ruined it for all of us thanks
>>733611837Point is there'll be another work around. But yes video is outdated.
>>733609976the site became much worse in the 2020s when you started posting
>>733611360>tfw I'm the only one who posts in my group chat daily>stopped posting as much in fear of annoying peopleI hate being an introverted extrovert
>>733611535I mean, nobody is going to abandon their steam account and they gave it all the data long time ago because payment info anyway so it's a moot point really. Steam never asked for my ID or photo though.
>>733611396>gneither did i, but now that i do, i know what I'm using.
>>733588979Why don't people just use Steam chats/whatever chat system is on their console is there something wrong with thatI have no friends to test either with
>>733611856Then you must work in a unisex/female-dominated workplace. I work with guys, we all play DRG and TW Warhammer, got 3 guys to try Deadlock's street brawl the other night. We've also got a small DnD group in our cross-department cluster of male workers, our head raw materials receiver is the DM. They also all watch sports ball and anime (gay) and two of them are paying like $200 pooled for a fancy European soccer channel. I think you just need to stop working in metrosexual workplaces. You can probably find someone that's also JUST as into Dubato No Kenin Horny Horny Pompoms easier on Discord but I like physically being able to hang out with people and do poker in someone's garage AND play video games.
>>733611360>No ID needed>Owned by based GabeN>I can acually use my steam points for chat emotes>Everyone already has it installedWell shit
>>733611616I don’t function well in groups. Whenever I’m in a group of more than two people, myself included, my brain just ceases to function. I can only maintain one-on-one dynamics with other people, but these two people I mentioned are social butterflies who thrive in group dynamics, so they’re slowly leaving me further and further behind. Though I guess in a week it won’t longer matter
>>733611476>3 anons in your friends list that are schizophrenic serial groomers erp'ing with at least 20 peopleNeed

>>733611882Steam group chats
>>733612064there's a person like you in my group chat who spends way too much time absorbing esoteric knowledge about a very niche topic. i engage with them occasionally and learn stuff. just be like that. anime, content creatorslop and tv isn't an interesting niche topic, btw
>>733612146>Everyone already has it installedyeah this pretty much cemented it as my alternative choice. nobody is going to complain about joining a steam group chat, even fags who don't want to leave discord.
>>733588979>corpo bullshit kills discordOf course it did. And some fag before thought it was closer to the old internet chatrooms like IRC. Discord was always a glorified social media platform.
>>733612173I don't know what you're expecting it to be like but when I go to discord it's like just dudes with sonic the hedgehog and anime avatars, maybe its because i have autistic hobbies but these aren't very intimidating people
>>733612351The amount of buzzwords you have to project in order to shield yourself from sounding weird is funny. The difference between you and I is when they see my hard drive I'd actually still be able to come within 50ft of their families and wouldn't be facing a ban from school zones. If you can't make friends in real life you should try hobby groups or being more outwardly confident. Out of 15 guys in our mixed crew only 3 have families. Just because they don't want to stare at suspiciously-small child adjacent cartoons with you doesn't mean they're watching niggerslop, it probably means they're normal.

>>733611992Children, teens and the unverified are not going to jump through hoops every time the check fails or a fix is deployed and the system denotes their lack of a valid ID.

Not to mention it will be buried by like-videos of assorted dates within weeks. Thanks YouTube.
>>733612112I thought up until recently people were limited to posting paid-for stamps and emoticons, and not just any images they had.I wouldn't know either.
>>733612546>buzzwordsDo you want me to be specific? To me it sounds like you are the product of marketing and branding algorithms that engages in hobbies for the purposes of socialization and because they are easy and comfortable. Like the kind of retard that likes star wars and capeshit. This is not a hobby to me, I'd rather do nothing. A good thing about the modern era is you don't have to settle for mediocrity. In the 90s and early 00s you did, everyone was exactly the same and you weren't even made aware of things outside of corporate dadslop, so if you weren't an ignorant zombie you just had to isolate and be miserable.

>>733612886Found the kike. Go home schlomo.
>>733612112I'm not really sure. Steam had groups, group chats and all that shit a long time ago. I used that in the past for some groups before discord took everything over.Maybe it didn't have voice at the time, don't remember when they added that and stuff was somewhat more primitive. Chats were more like IRC and it didn't really scale to large groups and also weren't persistent I think and groups still are more old school thread/forum structure.>>733612173I for one as an introvert weirdo I don't like 1 on 1 situations. In group settings I can interact as much or as little as I want to, but 1-1 it's on you to continue the conversation and that's way more effort. Also I don't really like being the centre of attention and get awkward when I feel seen and in a 1-1 situation the other person sort of pays attention just to you by definition. I start overthinking and get bad at judging what to say so I flip flop between awkward silence and oversharing.
>>733588979Guilded
>>733612921Fuck off, TeamSpeak has shit voice quality, shit screenshare, you have to be in a group chat PLUS a server to have permanent text chat, and all sorts of other stupid shit. TeamSpeak is NOT like either Skype nor Discord.

>>733612990Guilded is gone.
>>733611050Yeah but IIRC debit still was used by the AI alongside your server content and messages to contribute to determining if your profile is that of an adult or teenager.
>>733612425I will admit to occasionally gushing about anime in great detail but mostly go on tangents about insects and robots, the admin even made a channel for me to dump that shit and have a place to talk to myself like a schizophrenic

>>733595879Lurking and shitposting in a game exclusive discord because they don't check the forums for bug reports. Pretty mediocre for the most part. Too many troon flags flying high too but that comes with the territory of being in discord. Since those sackless cunts flock to the false hierarchies like flies to shit.
>>733612119NTA but I work with mostly men in IT where you'd think you'd have nerds it's like aggressively normalfag. Maybe a third play any amount of games and most of those do like bing bing wahoo or super mainstream shit, nobody knows what warhammer is and think anime is cartoons for kids.
>>733596537
I'll never convince my friends to switch to something else because they won't want even the tiniest amount of effort getting something new and because they're all in other discord servers for other games, guilds, work, etc social circlesFuck

>>733613537>there was a time when the internet was considered a dodgy enough place that sharing personal information was borderline retardationWouldn't surprise me if they rewrote history to say it was always like this. Nothing to hide nothing to fear blah blah fuckin blah. The only privacy you will get in this life is in death because the monument you drop in your name is on a list. Being alone inside your own head free from external influences will be considered a form of heresy given enough time and lobbying.
Telegram
>>733612641>dox your steam account :)no...? why would I do that?
>>733611360Steam probably has your paypal or bank account information and real name. They also log everything you type. Might as well just keep using Discord at this point.
>>733614275>Using your real info on steam
>>733614215>it was always like thisin the very, very early days, people posted under their name (out of their own volition, not to pass gay ID checks). a pseudonym at worst. then came eternal september and everything went downhill from there

Reminder that this is just another step in the sinister plot of data gathering. Discord will be the first to require ID. AI will be used for all sorts of data gathering/analyzing shit so they can justify their billion dollar investments. Once it's fully entrenched in Discord, other companies will do the same. Governments will start doing the same as well. They will push for more and more. Billionaires and politicians salivating at all the data being gathered, never bothering to verify whether or not AI makes any mistakes. Your full profile will be on display somewhere. Your profile will actually be in several databases because so many data gathering companies promise to be the best. Security breaches? You won't know about it unless they get caught. The online world is about to become completely shit within 5 years.
>>733611526>X with Y client Yes, one thing is a network and the other is the most Discord like client. Its not much different than using mIRC or XChat to both access IRC back in the day >you don't need Z featureThere's a difference between claiming that some major feature is not necessary, but most normalfags are not using niche shit in Discord, they're using it for. Nobody is saying you shouldn't request some niche feature or whatnot, but its not the thing keeping people from using alternatives en masse. There are far more people who whine about how X is in a different place in the UI or how some obtuse quasi-feature isn't the same because they don't really want to take the effort to change to something else and this is a convenient excuse.
>>733614516>Rules for thee not for meIf push comes to shove there is always the forever wars to look forward to. Nothing solves incompetency faster like a blood infused humiliation ritual at the industrial scale.
>>733588979I pulled my subscription but I don't currently see a need to switch my main service as I don't use NSFW servers. Totally understandable if people leave as what Discord is doing sucks, but I also do think people are blowing it out of proportion in this case.>>733614474>I have been uses steam for nearly 20 years without issue. Even if they do, they're at least trustworthy as long as gaben is alive.Yeah if there's anyone I trust to find a system that is safe it's Gabe. He legitimately posted his Steam password like a decade or two ago and the two factor system they made themselves has made it so he has NEVER been hacked. He's probably one of the few people I'd legitimately trust my ID to.

>>733614516Some of us were saying the same thing over a decade ago. It has already happened - this is just them twisting the screws until a few more people notice. Not to say it isn't good others are realizing this is an issue, but this is not the start of the plan they did that 15+ years ago just for this version of the project.

>>733614572You don't win over normalfags by making gay explanations. You win them over by giving them what they want without bothering them, instead of spending your time making sure that the default settings of whatever you're shipping are the worst they can possibly be. That's why open source always loses. It's also useless trying to explain that to open source people, so I guess I'm the retard.

You just have to post in a channel, exactly like Goycord. I have all 30 of the channels in my server as persistent. I can make messages decay if I want though. And nothing that is posted is compressed unless I want it to be. Can also do embeds for everything.

>>733615032Oh absolutely. It's the evolution of all the data they'll be gathering. Hence I mentioned politicians salivating. Discord has a chat history for example. Give them your id and guess what? Government officials, Peter Thiel, whoever they choose to sell the data too, will have your entire chat history tied to your name, address, appearance.

>>733588979Nothing ever happens, sadly. Like most things people will be mad about it for weeks or so and then go right back to it.
>>733615718Steam Chat or TeamSpeak6 anon. They both do all of those things.
What is the likelihood I even get asked to verify my age instead of it just thinking I'm an adult alreadyI'm in a bajillion NSFW servers
It's so blackpilling seeing fags look for another site that's exactly like pisscord. Why? If it's for a gaming community where you're looking to matchmake with other players why do you need a profile and to be in a server with gay rules? You're the reason online communities became less social over time. It's because you stopped socializing IN them, but instead you went to a discord server.
>>733588979Is it already set in stone that it's going to demand my ID next month or is there still a chance of it not happening?
>>733612797So basically you are autistic, can't mask, and don't actually work in a normal social environment. We are two opposite sides of the same coin, I'm autistic, can mask, and I work in a normal social environment. I love RTS, played a lot of AoE 2, StarCraft, Rome TW and AoE II. Numbers go up games appeal to me and unit management, I have found friends in real life that play some of the same games in that sphere that I can allow myself to enjoy. You indicated right there you function better as a shut-in that can choose what other individuals can interact with you without setting off your 'tisms' as your kind says. That's fine, some of us are tempered by flame and come out steel; others crack but are reborn as embers.
>>733616197durr, I listed AoE II twice now I guess I'M the retard
>>733615983Anon they're going to scan your messages for wrongthink and flag your account as being under 18 so they can get your info from you lol
>>733616010you don't understandI NEED to join a project zomboid server so I can agree to the rules that tell me not to be racist and let me post off-topic porn
>>733616083No, the company that uses the IDs from Discord got hacked and everything leakedWhat they did? Switch to a different company that’s actually the same but another front of it
>>733616083It's essentially a given. Even if this push fails, the IPO will bring in leadership that wants similar constraints on the platform. There's also pressure from the US government both through state-level mandates for controls on "adult content" (anything from porn to political conversation to mentioning that gay people exist), but also due to paranoia about citizen revolt in other countries coordinated over discord.

>>733588979I barely use it, what's happening?
I dunno how you all use discord, the cliques and the failed normalfags are really lame to be around. I tried it for a year and nuked my account because while I had a ton of "online friends", I realized I could basically do the same thing anonymously on 4chan or some obscure forum with often more thoughtful posts that aren't surrounding the local discord eceleb, dramafags or politics. Are you all normalfags?
>>733616938I've tried it and joining 4chan servers was damn near worse than joining normalfag servers. It really is better to stay anonymous. Go to fucking /vg/ or /vm/ if you want to socialize in a game with anons who might have the same sense of humor as you.
Teamspeak or any selfhosted alternative isn't the replacement for discord. Go back to /g/ you anti-social spergs, no one wants to download 10 different chat programs.
>>733614718with jews you win. In fact, the jews opened my eyes on why they are called goys and golems
>>733617301>download 10 different chat programsJust use gamedate
>>733617301>you're anti-social if you don't want to use a gooner groomer site with servers full of gay rules and no wrongthink just so you can possibly find someone to talk about the same interests as you even though every server has an off-topic channel that's more active than they topic the server is supposed to be aboutKill yourself
>>733617352just buy an ad
>>733617434Buy some HRT since you love pisscord so much
>>733617429>even though every server has an off-topic channel that's more active than they topic the server is supposed to be aboutActually now that I think about it, true. The general channels or off topic channels are always way more active than the actual on topic channels which is the original purpose of the server. People just wanna talk about drama and pol shit.
>>733588979Nobody is switching because nobody actually cares about privacy all that much. They just love virtue signal about it. Convenience always trumps privacy.
Teamspeak makes you literally host your own server manually like those hardware hosted dedicated Minecraft servers There’s no way the discord username would switch to that lmao you are out of fucking touch
>>733617429>joining public serversRetard. Get whatever you need from them and fuck off. Everyone has servers set up for their friends, but I guess you don't, retard.
>>733616197Nice sloptaste
>>733617684>friends
>>733617684How about I don't use the site at all because it's shitty and gay? You ever think about that tranny?
>>733617668Ok upload a photo of your passport rn if you really mean what you say
>>733616938There are a lot of failed normalfags here
>>733617769Fine by me. Wouldn't want to interact with a mentally ill friendless loser anyway.
>>733617886>you need to have a discord server otherwise you're a mentally ill friendless loserThis is how you sound
can't it be fooled using OBS?
if you use a matrix server without hosting your own homeserver for authentication, verification, and registration then you are getting raped by glowie gayops from telaviv
>>733617965It's obvious from the way you type. You autists are all the same.
>>733618021Why go through the effort? Perfect opportunity to kill the site and put a temporary stop to degeneracy.
>>733617752hey I'd rather have friends I can physically hang out with in real life and cherish their connections in my later life than watch Japanese cartoons with little girls lmao
>>733590103Retard
>>733588979staying on discord.I don't want to go back to ventrilo, mumble, TeamSpeak, skype or whatever other shit voip program. Discord was such a massive step up in quality and nothing even came close.
>>733618147Anime site
>advertise yourself as an open platform>become monopoly>change all of your rules it happened AGAIN
>>733618170Can you name the reasons why it's a step-up in quality? What defines quality for you? And do you think it's worth the downsides?
>>733618147And that's what makes you a normalfag tourist
>>733614870I hope microsoft is paying you well to still have this kind of brain damage in 2020+6. I guess all the Linux gaming threads, expansion of SteamOS and the Deck, Proton, and wider appreciation for FOSS in the light of corporate entities wanting to rape every bit of functionality out until you're a husk they can drain of data and/or have you pay for the process, hasn't met with your approval. Oh well. The irony of you crying about "giving them what they want without bothering them and sane defaults" at a time when proprietary fucktards like Discord have been doing everything possible to avoid giving people what they actually want, and even take away in favor of lock-in. Surely you want to lecture MS about Win11 about that same topic when they decide to jam Copilot into everything, ads for Candy Crush into the goddamn start menu , and other manners of shit not working as it should.
>unironic simping for Skype I think people don't remember why discord got so popular.>>733618269Actually retarded.
>>733618265>notice a pattern emerging>shut it down
>>733618373Kill yourself tranny
>>733618063>the failed normalfag lectureshahahahaha
>>733614968The big irony is that people are somehow more willing to screech about less legitimate confirmations in the Epstein files because it gives them an excuse to confirm their biases, than when Snowden gave up what would have been a 40 year 100K+ infosec clearance job career in order to show people the truth... and everyone just fucked off and went back to watching TV. Its not all his fault though, he didn't have the benefit of the last fucking decade of programming to get the proles upset about>TEH PEDO FILE ELITERINOS, BUT ONLY THE ONES ON THE OTHER SIDE OF YOUR POLITICAL / CULTURE WAR, THOSE ARE THE BAD ONES! that has led to this kind of garbage.
>>733589113>feature richthe ability to send text, image, and video? a username and bio? emoji? this is the extent to which i use of discord. i've never had the desire to buy nitro.
>>733589212Anon, Activision released a second MW2 like 3ish years ago.
>>733618474>never used Skype18+ to post here.
>>733618147God damn nigga, do you know where we are? Go back you don't belong here.
>>733589095Everyone was on Skype once. Then they weren't. Same will happen to Discord eventually.
>>733614968The most effective propaganda is "you already lost, stop trying and give in" and it works on 99% of /v/. In fact I expect a brainwashed zombie to reply to me exactly as he's been programmed to do. You see this in most normalfags too it's a great way to not only make someone your slave but to get them to enslave others for you too.
Oy vey!
>>733595762my friends and I swapped to matrix at the news so we've been using it for a week or two. It's dogshit compared to discord.

>>733614968>>733615096>>733618549>>733618709What exactly was Snowden? I was too young.
>>733618702Discord isn't plagued by Skype's constant connection issues and quality. The personal data update won't do much. If you use Windows I'm suprised you even care at this point.
>>733618902he worked at the NSA and exposed the US/western allies mass surveillance programs violating the privacy rights of their countries citizens. As a zoomer I assume you're already brainwashed to think privacy doesn't exist so this probably doesn't mean much to you.
>>733618709>you already lost, stop trying and give inThis entire place does this shit all the time.
Just use steam chat like everyone else
Wild idea, but did you know you can communicate with other players in...the game itself?? You don't need to join a site community server. >b-but what about making friendsYou can make friends...in the game...wow....
>>733618709I mean, what are you going to do, vote for the other party who goes to the same pedo parties and take money from the same jewish lobby?You'd have to rise up and kill them all.
>>733619247Is steam chat even popular? I mostly play monster hunter when it comes to online sorta stuff that isn't purely single player.
>>733619396It's about to be more popular next month
>>733619396YeahEvery game on steam also has a chat
>>733619493>>733619534Hm, I guess I'll give it a try. Do you join servers or something? How does it work?
>>733619129As they've been literally brainwashed to do. Once you start noticing the social contagion it becomes very annoying how widespread it is pretty much everywhere. They don't have a technical understanding of what is and isn't possible so they hyperbolize the capability of powerful actors and turn them into Gods. While these powerful groups are capable, the lack of understanding these people have causes them to treat them as unstoppable and see any struggle as futile. They then project their own frustration onto others in a paradoxical way by attacking them for resisting against the Gods they've made out of their oppressors which just creates more "followers" of their defeatist pseudo-religion.
The only discord servers I used to post in died years ago. I talk to exactly 2 people infrequently by DM and that's it.Not sure how you find some decent people to chat with and play games with. Those 2 I mentioned are mentally ill (literally, like on meds) losers that usually only message me to complain about their lives or if they are bored and have nothing else to do.How do you guys find decent people that initiate conversation just as often as you do and not just because they are bored or want to complain?
>>733617841Why would I do that? That would be inconvenient to me. This is all academic to me anyway because I deleted my discord account due to everyone on there being an asshole.
>>733619396I know for sure the steam forum is popular enough for creator of the game to respond to it
>>733619396It is for scamming.
>>733595954Didn't Hiromoot get caught using tracking pixels some years ago?
>>733597097What happened with Fern?
>>733619706You have to follow the game and then join the group chat from the community page
>>733619849>How do you guys find decent people that initiate conversation just as often as you do and not just because they are bored or want to complain?In a long-term, genuine friendship kinda way online? You don't. At least not anymore. Nowadays it's very bad.

>>733618624People who were 10 years old in 2018 are 18 now.
>>733620694We need to go back. Not just in one aspect, but as a whole. If we change our perception then we change our reality. Start playing only older video games. Start watching only older television and movies. If you have a smartphone, stop using it for anything other than making calls. Get off of social media. Find online communities that are similar to the 2000s communities.
