They're not even pretending there's any privacy there anymore

I noticed like a year ago messages sent started to have a delay. Niggas are definitely scanning for no no words and wrongthink. Good thing I deleted all of my accounts. Wish the servers I wrote in wold get nuked too, because we shared some personal info after years of chatting between individuals I thought I could trust. Should have seen it coming honestly.

every channel and public* server is opt out

also, can't wait for zealous vigillates that will start "exposing" people for wrongthink

IRC doesn't have this problem. Curious how decades old platforms don't have any modern problems associated to modern software that people usually complain about. And people left all that because... emoji support???

You run your own forum if you want some guarantees on privacy.

>>110184254
irc doesnt provide the features people want, which is why they use http based matrix instead

They're only doing this with public messages in public servers, no? This sounds like a good thing to me, I've been in various Discords for things like open-source projects and their tech support channels are constantly, constantly filled with the same kinds of questions over and over and over, because there's no proper searchability or discoverability on previous Discord messages. Back in the day such projects might've had a forum which was properly searchable both from within and from search engines, I think it's good if public messages in Discord become searchable too. A lot of information should be much easier to find without going in some godforsaken server and once again asking the same questions yourself.
>>
>>110183838
I did some research
>will only index "discoverable" servers with more than 1k members, you can check if a server is discoverable by searching for it by clicking the compass icon around the join new server button
>as far as i know it will only index posts that happen after december 2026, so old posts are safe
>you can disable it in all servers under settings > data and privacy
So it's not really a major happening to me. It only affects a very small percentage of servers that have listed themselves as discoverable.

Again it's PUBLIC servers only. Your private invite-only server you use while performatively counter-signaling the app on 4chan because you think it makes you fit in are not being indexed or made searchable on google.

It always was, and more. Back when they first started, their terms of use were already prepared so they could eventually sell all the users message history (including PMs). I screeched incessantly about it to everyone around me but no one listened and now people act surprised. Always the same story.

Read the fucking terms of use.

>>110184094
Not even that.
Public servers, which opted in to being discoverable, and within that server, it only applies to public channels (the ones that require no role to access it).
Most servers ask for a bot verification or something and hide channels based on roles, so it doesn't apply to any of these.
On top of that, a channel where this actually applies to, would mark in the header that it makes it public.
And on top of all of that, what you say will not have your name attached to the public version.
>>
>>110186037
It's a forum without topic filtering so every message just gets jammed together like 1,000,000,000 people sharing a single stream of consciousness. Somehow this still manages to be unintelligible despite 98% of users having no thoughts of their own.
>>110186285

Anon I get that your heart is in the right place and you don't want people to be exploited like the idiots they are. I think you need to recognize a hard truth. Anyone using discord is NOT afraid of that slippery slope. Many times already there have been threats to privacy and increased surveillance on the platform but these lemmings still use it after screeching about how much worse it's getting and how they need an alternative.

You can't prevent Discord from becoming more aggressive with their business, and at this point it's well known they're harvesting your data even if they do their best to suggest that they're being transparent about it.

NOBODY ACTUALLY CARES. If they did, they'd have moved back to IRC.

Best you can do is maybe convince one or two of your friends to watch their back. Unless an influencer explicitly tells them to jump ship they're never going to leave. This is the unavoidable truth of the zombie cattle populating these platforms.
>>
KEK you can tell that the faggots here just look for new things to bitch about. Most tech support IRC channels have public logs and somehow that's not an issue there. Weird how that works. Obviously having publicly accessible messages is useful for tech support chat groups and similar places, and that's why IRC people have been doing it for decades. The people in this thread don't have any real problems in their life so they artificially make up things to bitch about.

I was forced to use Discord because my friend group switched there from mumble. Our server is pretty comfy I guess. I found more friends through Disord and they invited me to another small server which is also pretty comfy and filled with 4channers (and some redditors) which is nice. I couldn't imagine using the huge servers filled with a bunch of annoying cattle, though you kind of have to to make friends.

>>110186387

NGMI. I've been calling out kikery openly in public since COVID and I'm sure there are anons here who've been at it longer. at this point they're just OPENLY stating they plan to kill and enslave you. might as well tell them to fuck themselves back. hell, I live in a small town in the great plains and I've heard people out here (who aren't worthless miggers) openly calling out the government as just being israeli cocksleeves.

It is real but it's a much smaller deal than everyone thinks. Pisscord (intentionally?) left all the explanation in the fine print. It only affects discoverable servers, which are servers that specifically selected to be discoverable. They also need to have above 1k members. It only affects like 60-80k servers, which I imagine has to be a tiny percentage.

should be the opposite imo, servers with less than 1000 users are required to be publicly accessible
watch all the cockroaches scurry as their tranny pedo blasting grooming rooms has a light the size of Google Gemini shining right at it

Oh, I was wondering when the irrelevant tranny politics would come up
Why do you keep shoving your ideology down people's throats?

You have to be outright retarded to have expected it out of Discord

Good
15 years ago if I looked on google to a problem, I would get a thread on a forum about it
Now I must find the official discord, must find a working invitation, join, check somebox about how I will not scream faggot, search the good salon, search by message and hop to get a answer for my problem
