Lost yearly Nitro
You cuck.
I'm legitimately paranoid about this scenario, especially since I'm in a couple of ERP servers, and I was friends with ReploidRevo.. yes THAT ReploidRevo, and never knew about what he did until after his downfall went viral. (Shocked the Hell out of me because he seemed so normal and on the up and up)
I mean, if you’re on 4chan…
Never understood why anyone would want to pay 100$ a year for discord, the paid version doesnt give you that much imo
Personally, Discord has facilitated a long distance relationship with my now wife, and nearly ten years of weekly TTRPG games. I don't mind the cost because they cannot provide that service for free forever, and I think it's worth it for what I get out of it. The other benefits they add for paying are almost just bonuses to me after that.
Which is a good monetation system. Premium users barely get anything but still enough to pay, while free users can do pretty much everything too.
I spam 500mb uploads... it kinda makes sense to me
I pay $30 a year for Nitro Basic. It's only $2.50 a month and worth it to me with how much I use it.
personally the $3 a month nitro is worth it for me, considering how much I use it. I know Lemmy hates anything capitalist but a coffee a month isnt that much
- Three-year-old* account with no violations
- 5-year-old* alt account
I have a Discord but I hear a lot about how easily you can get banned, largely on the whims of the people running a single server, so I've always been a bit reluctant to use it.
Also, I find it genuinely disturbing how much information all these companies have about you and your stuff.
Whats the draw of discord? I don't get why people go on there. It's boring af and you gotta talk with people while you play video games. I'll go on if I absolutely have to for a group, but I avoid if I can.
Being able to enter and sit inside a call where your friends can see that a call is active and who is in call is a really nice feature. It completely negates having to ping a whole group that may or may not be available like with Skype.
Whats the draw of discord?
Chat plus streaming as a freemium service that has its hooks in with the networking effect.
Probably the biggest draw of Discord is how many people use Discord. But past that, it fills a bunch of real time social media roles well.
As a case in point, I'm in a game of Pathfinder Kingmaker with friends, and Discord does a good job of letting players join virtually, sharing screens, rolling dice, keeping a log of the different chats, pinning the links to the Kingdom management files, and providing a search function to find historical info.
This is one of the bigger reasons I don't want to use social media controlled by a corporation, it means they can choose to cut me off from people at their discretion, which will probably be based on what is convenient and easy for them.
Lost yearly Nitro and all my friends
That’s sadder than he seems to understand it is.
I know "lol anon has no friends" is le epic funny meme but by friends, they obviously meant their contacts.
I have a lot of people, I'd consider friends, that I only communicate with through discord. If I lost my account, I'd likely never hear from them again. Kinda get it.
Idk might just be talking about his online friend's. But knowing 4chan maybe not
Discord usually just uses some bullshit allegations when they feel like kicking accounts down
On this topic: I currently have installed on my phone and computer: slack, zoom, MSTeams, element, discord, Facebook messenger and signal to communicate in various projects and friends. What is this madness?!
Same happened to me but with animal cruelty content or something. I tried to get the account back but turns out it was a "ban wave" so a lot of other people who got banned but were innocent were doing the same so discords services got overwhelmed by the appeals. Maybe they should have realized after that that this kinda banning is a horrible approach.
This is why people should be worried of using these massive services, luckily it was ‘only’ Discord (if this was your primary way to interact with friends, this can be a huge deal).
But imagine if it was your email account!
Getting a reputable provider, self hosting or using a decentralized option is paramount for your own sanity.
This made me thinking about Valve potentially banning my 19-years-old Steam account due to some error or a mistake 💀 I heard bad things about their customer support.
There was that man who was all in on Google.
He had a telemedicine appointment for his son who had a problem with his penis. Dr asked him to send a close-up photo so he could diagnose the skin condition
So the guy takes the photo with his pixel phone and sends it
The phone automatically backs up the photo
Google's AI says it's child porn, his account is deleted and police are contacted
Police look into it and say "not porn, totally fine" but have to go to his house to tell him the was no problem because his phone was Google, his internet was Google fibre, his email was Gmail and his photo album was on Google and all that was irrevocably deleted
Currently having problems with GMail I lost my old phone (2fA) and no device was logged in so i could not access steam and like everything that requires that old mail
And my phone provider or postal service is stupid because i could not get a replacement sim after multiple tries which normally works
Googles account recovery policy is basically:
- 2fA
- recovery email
- create a new account x.x
I think the recovery mail option only gets unlocked after 6? months inactivity because ~3 months ago i did not have the option
Now after requesting a recovery i still have to wait a full month before they maybe send me a password reset to my moms mail
But steam support was nice. Managed to get the account by providing a product key i used a few months ago and was lucky enough not to have thrown the physical card away
And I'm not looking forwards to the effort it is going to take to get my friends to migrate away from discord. It was hard enough to get them on discord in the first place.
I created a Discord account so I could try Midjourney and my account got blocked within a few hours. I use a VPN most of the time, can't remember if I was with Discord so might have had the same IP as another user. Didn't bother to set up another account.
They block most VPNs outright.
All the more reason to not use Discord imo.
Mullvad works.
Anon doesn't know, Discord fails to include a libre software license text file. We do not control it, anti-libre software.
What do you mean??
I think they are saying that discord is bad because it is not Free software, that it is bad because it is a commercial service
Anon's big mistake was not being the President of the Gulf of America.
I still don’t understand the point of discord. I just deleted the app cause it was sooooo boring. The only social media I have is a perma banned reddit account (a few), snapchat (which I never use anymore as I have grown out of it and it has turned to absolute shit) and the lemmsters. Feeling good
That's cool man
I have no qualms about your getting banned for this.
You are who you associate with. For example: trump associates with Epstein. Should he not be banned from discord?
Believe it or not, most pedos aren't super open about it.
You are who you associate with.
Must be why in most democratic nations you have no freedom of association.
Anon forgot to put their interpersonal relationships in a RAID array
Its greentext. Its not real/true.
Can't say if this anon specifically had this happen, but there's plenty of proof of it happening.
So basically if you hate a community, you just gotta go there and post some no-no pics, and everything gets nuked? Great, I'm sure nobody will abuse this.
Fake and gay as they say
I watch enough No Text To Speech to belive this is true. I even think he had a video about this
Anon can at least hope to appeal the suspension as its not a complete ban but support might take a while
gosh, that makes me feel really nervous
Same! Perhaps I should prune my Discord servers
This doesn't sound "user friendly" at all to me
