"Infuriating! #Yahoo News tries to tar and feather Mastodon with Discord! Yet, this article is wrong on so many counts!
#Discord is not "distributed". It is a centralized and proprietary service run by Discord Inc. -- who have dropped the ball on moderation."
#Mastodon is decentralized and open source, and individual server admins are very active with #moderation. We put lots of effort into reporting...illegal material."
I understand the reason for this - organization and coordination are difficult tasks. And the team responsible for resolving conflicts should not itself be a source of misunderstanding and conflict.
For this purpose #discord is a very useful, but flawed tool. And alternatives (e.g. #Matrix, #IRC, #Email and #Jitsi) have their own issues - some are just down to network effects, others actually lack features making them less useful for coordination.
@0xabad1dea I guess #DIscord screwing with this setting is going to be its analog of #Twitter turning off reverse-chronological Home every fifth update.
And they didn't just change it for the default role, they changed it for every role on the Guilds I moderate. :headdesk:
No way, #Lexx is free on YouTube, the whole series!!
It's a delightfully odd (and grim, and funny, and horny) scifi thing from the late 90s. Highly recommend for scifi fans.
Does lots of really unique stuff, even if it's not high budget or all that. You'll see some tropes that would normally end an entire series happen in a normal episode or season ender. It's a shitty universe.
If anyone's seen the show please gush with me, I'll be rewatching it soon.
Hell, if people want, we could watch it in #Discord since it's free on youtube. I'd have to do that after 5PM Central time on week nights if anyone wants a little movie night
>"we have found a solution to discord discrims being slightly confusing to ppl who think 4 numbers are too confusing"
>ooh boy I'm excited to hear about how they retained the ability for people to identify as their name instead of shoving funny numbers or characters on the end
@tupper Discord has moved from being a simple and fast gaming communication tool to an everything-community-social-networking-app. And you can tell whoever their investors are slowly wants to see they can make money with it.
And they also trap decades of human knowledge never to be found by search engines.

WHAT THE FU....CK?! HELL NO!!!!!
I hope you joking: Discord is against 100% #privacy , tracks your IP address (and can sell it to anyone, including Google, government and who ever would ask!), both uMatrix and uBlock Origin blocked 4K+ trackers, participated with Google, Facebook and many other adversting companies that against user's privacy!
Please, checkout Revolt (i'm already there at @expertmanofficial) right here:
I dislike that the only way to mute someone on #Discord is to apply a heavy handed block.
(And if one blocks them, even then the messages and replies aren't fully hidden.)
Young people: is it possible to completely mute a #Discord channel for notifications? I have muted them but #Obsidian’s server is using (at)everyone for their (frequent) release announcements and it’s obnoxious af to constantly have a red badge.
EDIT: server notification settings allow to suppress (at)here and (at)everyone! (Click thru to see reply with solution & screenshot)
Wrote a post about using Vencord's injection methods with Discord client modding on Slack's desktop client. Gonna write some plugins for Slack within time :p
Admittedly I'm becoming increasingly frustrated that folks can go on and on about the evils of Reddit and yet continue to sequester all the knowledge about their interests and hobbies in obscure chats, allowing Reddit to go uncontested in being the source of publicly accessible info on some of those topics.
Yes I know there's definitely an element of "and yet you participate in society" in this, but that doesn't really lessen the frustration.
Thank you discord for making their platform like everything else, now if you have a rare tag, you will be hunted down until you give it to an even more extreme level than twitter! OH I almost forgot how people will now try to get into partner accounts and secure rare usernames as well since those accounts are one of the first to get the tag system! Thank you discord. Very cool.
If you think you will be a target, turn off SMS 2FA in case of sim swapping, set DM spam filter to all DMs and make sure you stay aware because scams are going to show up exponentially.
If you think that they will turn back on it, dream on. This came from the co-founder so unless there is a full blown riot, they will move forward.
