Discord clamps down on white supremacist chatter on its client

>Gaming chat client Discord has banned servers and several users linked to white supremacist and Nazi ideologies, according to a tweet sent out from the official Discord account. “Discord’s mission is to bring people together around gaming,” their statement on Twitter read. “We will continue to take action against white supremacy, nazi ideology, and all forms of hate.”

>Saturday’s Charlottesville rally to retain a statue of Robert E. Lee drew participants from alt-right, Nazi, white supremacist and KKK groups. Following the rally, which resulted in the death of a counter-protester attacked by a car, a member of the Daily Stormer Discord, a group associated with the white supremacist movement, allegedly offered to “bring weapons” to the victim’s funeral. Journalist Laura Loomer reported the message to Discord via Twitter, spurring Discord to conduct an investigation which apparently resulted in them shutting down servers relating to Daily Stormer and Altright.com, another website associated with white supremacists and neo-Nazis like Richard Spencer. Discord also ceased service for “a number of accounts associated with the events in Charlottesville.”

>In subsequent tweets, Discord added that while they don’t read users’ private conversations, they will swiftly take action when people violate their Terms of Service.

>Altright.com swiftly posted a response, referring to Discord’s employees as “pathetic nerd cucks” who, in their actions, “joined the war against free speech.” They added, “The Globo-Corpo-Homo-Judeo establishment is coming at us from all angles and lobbing everything that they have our way. . .Boy, oh boy. They sure picked the wrong enemy. History has shown us that regions of disenfranchised, intelligent and motivated young men are very very good at resisting tyranny.”

Neither Discord nor Altright.com representatives have responded to Kotaku’s requests for comment.

Good.
Sup Forums once again BTFO
People who claim others should be denied rights automatically strip themselves of those same rights.

what rights do degenerates have? the right to convert a once wholesome land into a shithole?

>intelligent
lol

So you should lose your rights too?

>altright
there is no such thing

>hiding from Skype and going to another centrally run shithole like Discord

Somebody tell them to use Mumble so they don't have to keep this shit up.

...

>make server that's against TOS
>get banned
>muh cucks

it's amazing that these dumb Sup Forumsfags are just now realizing that tech companies are literally founded on surveillance and have been watching everything they do.

I predict within the next year some of them will be on Tor. And still getting fucked with because they can't into either infosec or opsec.

Isn't mumble primarily a voice chat service?

>relying on some 3rd party service
>relying on someone else's servers
>relying on a program made by autistic brony scum

The biggest problem in tech today is how depended everyone is on these centralized platforms with draconian policies. The normalizing of software becoming more and more harmful to the end user has been accelerating for years.

You're legitimately clueless retards for thinking that Sup Forums is part of an organized White Nationalist movement. Most of Sup Forums isn't even white.

Nope.
No one's taking their rights away here, they're making a conscious decision to give up their rights themselves.

>Isn't mumble primarily a voice chat service?

It's got text chat. All they need.

Just move to IRC. I've yet to find a network with terms of service other than the MOTD. How hard can it be?

Yet they don't do the leftist cucks using their services fuck discord

For some reason IRC doesn't appeal to the millennial crowd.

>Most of Sup Forums isn't even white.

If you only count the anti-Jew part of Sup Forums, it is mostly White.

Sup Forums is not 100% anti-Jewish. Many are still libertarians, anarchists, and other assorted trash.

I'll write an Electron IRC client in javascript that uses a gigabyte of RAM to sti idle in one channel. With a flat UI and animations everywhere. That should make the millennials like it more.

>Somebody tell them to use Mumble

Mumble isn't enough to use as a Discord alternative.

They should use Matrix.

matrix.org/

Nobody can fuck with them using an open source decentralized software, and they can run their own server.

It'd probably skyrocket in popularity over night.

There's a [i]big[/i] difference between right wing and alt-right, user.

>he thinks only Americans post on Sup Forums
don't ever go there you retarded scum leftist faggot

>Claiming /Pol is nationalist

How about going on the board and actually reading some of the topics on there instead of having prejudice against them. You will find that its a small segment of /pol itself and most actually have interesting discussions regarding politics.

IRC, once again, proving itself superior.

>i can use your server for things that go against your terms of service because muh free speech on someone elses computer
>of course we are fighting the tyranny, what are you, a commie?

Anything that isn't far left is Nazi scum, so I don't even know what anything means anymore.

The only good choices right now are:

1) Wire
2) Matrix
3) Mumble

Wire is a lot like Skype but open source and encrypted and they need to let people run their own server, but they are unpopular enough for the altright to use without issue.

Matrix is the best option because open source, encrypted, can run own server, but its still kinda beta-mode right now.

Mumble is mostly voice chat for gamers with only text chat, but you can run your own server, have encryption, etc.

Ring is another option but that is really barebones right now and too GNU for most people, even Sup Forums.

Something like kiwiirc.com is a good start user

>He thinks nazi is a left wing movement, depite being essentially an anti communist movement

>Please please advertisers and entrepreneurs do not disown us we will ban freedom of speech if you dont do it!!!
>Jew: OY VEY SHUT IT DOWN!

>IRC, once again, proving itself superior.

IRC wouldn't have this problem but it is also not rich enough to support even a fraction of what Discord did.

I don't know why Sup Forums uses Discord when its so centrally run by SJWs.

>socialism, being the scapegoat for all human bullshit since 1917

In a couple years people will say Bernie Sanders is a Nazi for not defending trans toddler rights enough.

You misread his statement.

Though this discussion should probably stick to the software itself.

Sup Forums uses a lot of terrible meme tier software if you haven't noticed.

What if you simply don't have this right -to call for mass discrimination and even violence against whole groups of people based on ethnicity or country of origin or such- to begin with?

All those deluded racists, neckbearded, white trash, rednecked, inbread, right wing nazis should die in a fire

Anything that isn't far right is communist scum when you're far right.

But really,
> Generally, the left wing is characterized by an emphasis on "ideas such as freedom, equality, fraternity, rights, progress, reform, and internationalism," while the right wing is characterized by an emphasis on "notions such as authority, hierarchy, order, duty, tradition, reaction and nationalism."
> en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Left–right_political_spectrum
And you can at least somewhat categorize what is left and right without taking the view of the extremists to who everything is very left / very right.

>inbread

typical retarded leftist unable to use basic english

Let me tell you why you're wrong.

"Sup Forums" uses Discord for the same reason "Sup Forums" uses anything.
People they know use it, to talk to those people they have to use it. It doesn't mean "we" embrace all the features they have, it doesn't mean we don't attempt to disarm the botnet.

You know who should be ashamed of themselves?

Sup Forums

We still use Discord, a proprietary, SJW-run app while pretending we give a fuck about open source.

Why don't we use Matrix at the very least?

Discord shouldn't even be allowed on Sup Forums

I use mumble 'cause it's superior.

> Trusting a third party with your data

So if i say that economic migration should be constrained i automatically need to send out one of my family members?

or lol maybe if i say my child can't go home with weird people giving them candy, i can't go home with weird people giving me candy? (i do that sometimes)

hurrrrrrrrrrrr

>If you only count the anti-Jew part of Sup Forums, it is mostly White.
Mate, White people are pretty much the only gentiles kind to kikes.

Oy vey I wonder (((who))) could be behind this post

>White people are pretty much the only gentiles kind to kikes.

Lol no. If that were true, they wouldn't have a presence in Africa, Asia, Latin America, or India.

The Jews have their own mini-city and buildings in the middle of Mexico, for example.

Every country has varying numbers of kike lovers and kike haters.

>>"The Globo-Corpo-Homo-Judeo"

The Globo-Corpo-Homo-Chinko

funny enough if you question memory usage the discord drones will call you poor and tell you to upgrade your POS... joke's on them I have 64GB of RAM.

Should I make an alternative for you senpais? Or will teamspeak do for now?

It is their service. They decide what's allowed an what's not allowed on it

It already exists and it's called IRC.

>The right to free speech means the government can't arrest you for what you say

lol those are just the consequences of free speech

the government isn't shutting you down it's just showing you the gallows

>The government can't arrest you for what you say
>If you say this the government will arrest you

You should kys yourself dumb animetard.

anime website

It's not the government it's just that policeman and judge think you're an asshole and are showing you the door.

Are you actually this retarded or is this a joke ?

>The police and a judge are not the government

>Using Discord
It's their own fault desu

AHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHA

*inhales*

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

>That should make the millennials like it more
you still need millions of dollars to shill your software on the internets

These idiots are pretty stupid
They should be on tor/i2p running their own services

Irc is shit. You need something that keeps the channel history while you're not connected. Mattermost over tor or something like that.

Why would you need that?

Not everyone sits on their fap machine in their basement all day. Need to be able to move between devices without losing the conversation

Why? If you were talking about something before you switched devices just keep talking about it.

Jesus fuck you're a dense cunt

is the /random/ server still up?

No, seriously, why do you need to keep it?
Do you record all your conversations just so you can keep track of them later?
If you're talking about something and you decided to switch devices just keep talking about it. You don't need a fucking chat history to continue the conversation, do you?

Why should you fucking care what has been discussed while you weren't in the room? About the only people who should give a shit about that are the channel OPs and if they're worth anything they'll have a bot sitting in the room that'll keep a chat history and they can use to send out commands and shit.

>You don't need a fucking chat history to continue the conversation, do you?
seems like you're grossly overestimating the attention span and memory of a social media junkie

>Humanity has gotten as far as it has because we look after each other and work together
>>I know! I'll center my entire ideology around only what's doing best for me and fucking over everyone else!

Republicans, not even once

Not him but a proper chatting platform doesn't require bots to keep the chat history. IRC belongs to a different era.

Why are you pol shitters so butthurt that private companies don't want to deal with your bullshit? At least this guy was man enough to do something about his impotent rage, even if all he achieved was Jamal's prison rape course.

>be chatting with 4 people on phone while on train
>hit reception black spot for a few minutes
>irc:rejoin, have no context of what people are saying, have to ask to get brought up to speed
>slack /discord etc: read the feed, know where the conversation is at straight away

>too retarded to use znc

>have to ask to get brought up to speed
Are you afraid of talking to people?

Funny how you faggots had to be banned and censored to become anti-discord. The data mining, privacy breaches, the fact that it's closed and centralised, etc, weren't red flags big enough to pull out of the service until you started being silenced. Of course this was going to happen, idiots, and it'll keep happening for as long as you keep supporting scummy services like Discord.

Can we all agree that a Sup Forums Discord would be a good idea?

Imageboards are too open. Any idiot can come here, ask a question about tech, and leave without contributing to the community. An invite-only Discord would foster more engagement, and allow us to easily shame/ban those who aren't fitting in.

>one post by this id
I bet

kill yourself you fucking underageb& and take your consumerism shit with you

And, of course, he's an ugly fat piece of shit. Typical.

THANK YOU BASED DISCORD

ALT RIGHT NEO NAZIS CONFIRMED ON SUICIDE WATCH

hey reddit

Are you insane?
You need to realize just who you're conversing with here. In general the people here are fucking scum. Were you not ever around for any of the ftp threads? Inevitably every single one had someone come around and upload CP. Without fail.
Autistic tripfags, trannies with borderline personality disorder, bronies, thats who you'd get on your server. You don't want to consort with them in any capacity beyond anonymous posting.

/thread

They deserve it, Fuck *hites.

See, this is what I'm talking about. I've posted on Sup Forums since 2007, and yet you're not treating me with the respect that a senior community member deserves.

Forums have post counts. Discord has roles. Long-time members are respected, and it's immediately clear to newcomers who it's okay to insult with words like "kill yourself".

>lying on an anonymous imageboard
also there is no reason that you cant do that on irc

>also there is no reason that you cant do that on irc
IRC does not have achievements or avatars.

>>irc:rejoin, have no context of what people are saying, have to read to get brought up to speed
Feel your pain bro.

good
