It's really annoying to accidentally hit a key, then feel like I have to send a full message. Why is this the 'standard' among chat programs now, without even the option to turn it off?
Who is fighting for stuff like this?
You're viewing a single thread.
It heralds from Jabber, for when you wanted to indicate to peers that you are responding in chat about something. However it is Machiavellian social engineering (2×🔗) meant to decipher your stylometry, which data analyst brokers (2×🔗) corporations like pisscorp and valve enjoy to exploit.
A technique I used to use for when I used פיסכורפ was to use a text editor to type out my message, then copy&paste. Now I just use slidcord at my convenience, and will use a scraper&archiver soon™ to export stuff in communities I want to maliciously extrapolate. 🖕 Network Effected folks. Aint scanlating on JASRAC friendly snitches.
It’s kind of impressive that you managed to squeeze in so many links to references but without including any that actually back up the accusation you’re making.
For Valve, or Pisscorp? Unless you mean Leviathan Scans.
No, I mean the completely unfounded claim that discord’s typing indicators are somehow a tool for analysing users’ writing styles and selling that on to data brokers.
It’s so bizarrely specific that it comes across as an unhinged conspiracy theory, especially when it’s delivered as part of a link salad.
Ah, you don't read the Terms of Service.
