Discord in 2024
>literally Big Tech itself

This happens to every service that we think is cool and FOSS
They're foss until they're not.

This is great and all but shouldnt we still just build a new FOSS platform instead of trying to disinfect the current dung heap?
Like, we built Linux instead of fixing Windows

Discord is mostly enjoyed by people who dont have the tech knowhow to understand how it works

We dont need a database in the middle of a peer-to-peer discussion

This was never true. Jason Citron, the founder of Discord, previously created OpenFeint, a company that sold user data to various groups including advertisers.
>In 2011, OpenFeint was party to a class action suit with allegations including computer fraud, invasion of privacy, breach of contract, bad faith and seven other statutory violations. According to a news report "OpenFeint's business plan included accessing and disclosing personal information without authorization to mobile-device application developers, advertising networks and web-analytic vendors that market mobile applications". (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenFeint)
You'll never guess what's in the Early Life section https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jason_Citron

>Just like you guys, I was okay with the data harvesting, surveillance, and basically a total breach of my privacy.
nobody here is okay with that
you should post this on reddit.com instead

Will stick with IRC and Mumble. Mumble supports voice and text chat. That's all I need for I do not have autism. People can link to a .gif on their web server or one of my chan servers if they wish.

Bro have you been living under a rock these past 10 years?

>>103224230
Are there ANY non-Jewish people in Big Tech? Elon Musk?

>>103224890
True, but 99% of humanity is so dependent on Discord's stickers, effects, instant tenor gif embedding etc that they can never give it up

They sold their soul for a bunch of stickers

>>103224991
True but it's all good. I like that Discord has trapped the weak minded autists. It's like a confinement system, keeping the rest of the internet a little cleaner.

>>103223614
Why are you so mad anons have friends?

>>103223614
>Discord is a problem and someone needs to code an alternative.
agree, but it really has nothing to do with code, the problem is who can be bothered to host our std riddled stuff for the sake of the not std stuff and then the CIA is at your door the next second...

That's nearly all modern tech products, genius

unusable trash

How does it glow? It's literally open source

There are metric fuck-tons of alternatives but each is single or double purpose. Kiddos can't use more than one app at a time these days. Instead they want one giant bloated electron app.

I use Mumble for voice+text chat. 58MB for voice and text.

 Private  +   Shared  =  RAM used    Program
 41.6 MiB +  15.9 MiB =  57.5 MiB    mumble

If I wanted to share gifs I would upload them to one of my chans, something anyone could host. The biggest usage of memory is nginx and I could bring that down to 9MB if I did not allow so many connections.

 Private  +   Shared  =  RAM used    Program
304.0 KiB + 163.5 KiB = 467.5 KiB    fcgiwrap (9)
  1.3 MiB +   1.1 MiB =   2.4 MiB    umurmurd
 28.4 MiB +   4.4 MiB =  32.8 MiB    nginx (9)

umurmurd is a lightweight version of murmur. Channels are pre-defined. The full blown murmur uses slightly more memory.

There is this random faggot advertising (for free) this every single day like the second coming of jesus christ when irc is all you need.
Also open source isn't synonym of secure, they don't mention third party audits on their site

>>103225246
IRC doesn't even have encryption and voice/video chat. No I will not use five different programs and addons to get the same functionality as matrix

What's wrong with having a solid featurebase that is highly accessible?
Would it be better if I had to manually enter the IP of a voice server before I chat?

>>103225540

I'm not him but I've liked IRC since 2002 or so.
I dont need voice chat, it feels cringey

>>103225540
IRC has transport encryption (TLS) and one can use libotr for E2EE encryption to keep the admin from snooping. OTR does not support group E2EE, someone would have to fork it. That said it's better than exposing all your text and voice chat to a corporate system that is transcribing all the voice and ingesting it into what used to be called "big data" and is now called "AI". Small server admins are less likely to be doing those shenanigans.

This. Fucking this. This is all I've ever cared about.
There's probably an AI copy of my mind somewhere already

>AI copy of my mind somewhere already
Or at very least a psychological and personality profile with a high degree of accuracy given enough conversations with different people of different psychological profiles.

>>103226650
Yeah, thinking about this makes me go schizo
We just let it happen so we could continue chuckling at memes and have meaningless discussions with strangers
I gave them my entire cognition. They gave me the smallest dopamine boosts possible.
