  • Epic timing, I want to dive in and see if I can mirror setting up Discord communities in the most painless way possible. This seems to be a great step in the right direction. Imagine a place.. where you get the best of both worlds and we can leave Discord behind.

  • The former first daughter

    Is this really a thing? I know about "First Lady" and I think that's fine, but "first daughter"? That's kinda whack.

  • But if the first two paragraphs are empty pablum, I'm not wasting my time with the next fifty

    Great idea. Have a good day.

  • If you could have bothered to read a few lines more, there's an entire 76-page PDF attached outlining plans and goals.

    Now I'm not asking you to read the whole thing, but you're being disingenuous.

  • Yeah, it sucks. I wouldn't attribute it to a platform but just to how we are. It's tribalism for one part, and people attributing malice to just plain ignorance. I don't mean ignorance as a negative, but just unaware of the politics / social dynamics of the instance you decided to create an account on

  • I'm gonna get flak for this but no, Discord does not sell any user data, no matter how many times people keep repeating it. Quoting a legendary redditor here:

    Discord's privacy policy repeatedly states that they do not sell your personal information:

    We don’t sell your personal information. Our business is based on subscriptions and paid products, not from selling your personal information to third parties.

    We make money from paid subscriptions and the sale of digital (and sometimes physical) goods, not from selling your personal information to third parties.

    We do not sell the personal data of our users or share personal data for targeted advertising purposes.

    ‍No sale or “share” of personal information: The CCPA sets forth certain obligations for businesses that sell or “share” personal information. We do not sell or share the personal information of our users as defined in the CCPA.

    This is a legal document that they will get in trouble for if they were lying. They've already been fined hundreds of thousands of euros for GDPR violations but that curiously did not include a fine for "took people's personal information and then sold them without consent whilst explicitly saying they didn't do that"

    Discord further has no third party advertisements which they can use to "sell" your data by allowing those advertisements to target you.
