We’ve moved our internal communications from Discord to Zulip at Mastodon, and I think there are plans to do the same for our Patreon community.

@lutindiscret @Gargron I wish Matrix worked at all

[ilka4you@mastodon.social]

@Gargron I guess I won't be able to call Felon 47 a brown bag full of manure anymore then.

[d1@autistics.life]

@lutindiscret @Gargron @lefteristrip23 I beg of you: not #Matrix, for anything persisting and serious *when it comes to group chat*. Has a history of exploding chat rooms, every few years or so. Track record is not good.

#Zulip is today's much more sane choice, as a place to escape to, fleeing #Discord.

BTW: I'm willing to set up/maintain Zulip servers, *but for a price*.

@Gargron I have an account, but haven't used it in a while. When I get told to do that I will respond with a full middle finger scan and a suggestion where they can stick it.

[athayes@mas.to]

@Gargron Will it affect anything other than NSFW tagging?

[d1@autistics.life]

@autisticplushy @lutindiscret @Gargron with #Matrix, one-one-one chat is decent; it's just the group chats which have a poor track record of reliability over the years.

[sam@break3.social]

@athayes@mas.to @Gargron@mastodon.social It shouldn't but it does give them access to scan and look through more posts especially media, we've had it in the UK for a while now and we've had data leaks and lots of problems with this system, highly suggest finding a new place.

[autisticplushy@lgbtqia.space]

@d1 @lutindiscret @Gargron My one on one usually get's messages lost.

[d1@autistics.life]

@autisticplushy @lutindiscret @Gargron oh really? Didn't know... thanks

[csolisr@hub.azkware.net]

@kerfuffle @Gargron Good question - and if the latter, how easy is it to export everything to a sovereign solution down the line?

[darwinwoodka@mastodon.social]

@grishka @Gargron

It's going to kill them with the gaming community. Absolutely kill them.

[d1@autistics.life]

@linuxandyarn @Gargron I also caught Discord spying on a laptop of mine - while in sleep mode, in the middle of the night, Discord kept a laptop awake, churning hard. I heard the laptop fan whirring in the middle of the night, when it should have been silent. I determined it was #Discord, and uninstalled that motherfucker immediately. This was several years ago.

#infosec

Discord, fuck you

[joenextra@todon.eu]

@Gargron Finally!

[linuxandyarn@hachyderm.io]

@d1 @Gargron Hm, now I wonder if this is why my wife's Windows laptop woke me at 4am a couple weeks ago. I thought it was just a side effect of patch Tuesday.

[d1@autistics.life]

@linuxandyarn @Gargron It was a #linux install of #Discord in my case, just saying.

[ahoyboyhoy@floss.social]

@d1 @lutindiscret @Gargron @lefteristrip23 FWIW Zulip cloud offers free hosting for communities that qualify.

[amazing_helenab@mastodon.social]

@Gargron I get that Discord has a major pedophile problem, but privacy is also important.

[sam@break3.social]

@amazing_helenab@mastodon.social This is why people should look at moving, why should our privacy be taken away just because of some countries like the UK with there Online Safety Act removing our Privacy for data collecting hidden as protecting children

[tshepang@hachyderm.io]

@apLundell does corporate mean the project is controlled by a company

[pa28@social.vivaldi.net]

@Gargron I only have Discord accounts bc starting in 2020 seniors in my youth group used one to host engagement during lock down. Six years later they are off to college or work and those who came after have not mentioned Discord at all. So is seems Discord is (fill in the blank) for old people anyway.
