>you code a Discord alternative in a day, just to show people there's nothing unique about an online chatroom with a dark color scheme. we could and should start making alternatives.

>"that's so scary m8. does it collect my data? does it analyze my messages? rreeee it must be a trap"

This is so fucking mysterious, man. People magically wake up to the realities of the Internet when I make a service.
People will chug down any slop if it's served by corpo because they love and trust corpo.

Posting random pic because 4chan doesnt accept any file formats, this site is so fucking broken and obsolete
>>
I verified my email but I still have to fill out captchas on 4chan
Fuck this site
And they seem to get harder and longer every now and then

WHAT'S THE POINT of proving your humanity with a pattern recognition test when AI is literally better at pattern recognition than we are, that's literally what AI was built fore you MORON

I use discord in browser tab, without allowing camera/mic access.
You're right, the biggest issue with alternatives is to make people want to use them.
Why did you decide to code your own instead of using Matrix, for example?

The truth is that most of people are completely pigeons when it comes to security.

Things get sus only once they have to think about something.

I dunno it just bothers me on a fundamental level whenever I realize 99% of humanity is brainless goy cattle
They're ruining it for the 1%

Is discord like grindr or something?
WTF you guys have talked about this thing for literally years and I have no idea what you're even bitching about.
Did you get turned down by your gay crush via discord?
>>
>>108547043
You didn't release the source like I told you to so clearly you're up to no good.
>>
>>108547051
Mods hate everyone that uses this site and gookmoot doesnt give a shit about it, so it is what it is.

it's a website in my hardened browser, so no.

I wonder if people know that everything that is public on discord is logged by unknown 3rd parties contantly, in real time, for many years. Everything that had non expired invites posted publicly is also monitored by bots that just log all messages.
Technically discord is not responsible if something bad happens to you because of that. And technically one could collect enough data over time to identify everyone, since most people post all kinds of things about themselves without thinking that someone would aggregate all that info and analyze it. Nowadays with LLMs it's too easy.

>>108547423
Pretty much. They have to keep the website only, because otherwise someone else will. And they will lose control.
>>
There are no discord alternatives as feature rich or accessible. Everything recommendation is a downgrade.
Element doesnt even have push to talk hahahahahaha
>>
glad I convinced my friends to move to matrix, i still use it for something people but what we talk there is basically what I would talk to a customer in a public space
>>
I use vesktop
I don't have a webcam or microphone attached
It doesn't read my processes like the normal client
All that I get is that everything I type on discord is accessible by discord, and sure, sure enough there's no such thing as private communication. But it isn't for anyone else in the same platform either. I don't do any grooming so it is not of any concern to me. I don't share my passwords or personal information enough. 10 corporations already know exactly what my sexual preferences are.
