I still use it primarily. The chat interface is great and it works fine for VoIP for me (some people have a lot of issues while using voice). However I refuse to get attached to it and if the communities I'm involved in moved to Matrix or Slack I'd be much happier.

>all funds come from data mining companies
Source pls

People hear terrible static coming from my microphone when I run it on Kubuntu 16.04

because the world replaced open chat protocol standards that anyone could run, with some program coming from some company.

It would be like if we replaced all the food in the world with McDonalds, and nobody could make or sell food other than McDonalds.

gotta get paid somehow

Because it's literally Skype but for gayymurs.

Time Warner funded Discord. Go to the corporation's website and you will see a list of things that the corporation supported/funded.

I bought Nitro.

Konqi wants to teach you about your faggotry!

No 32bit build = cancer.

user here from the other week where his boss is trying to use discord at work.


We *still* haven't moved away from discord. It's been over a month.

How do I tell this cunt to use slack?

Because they started shutting down everything they didn't agree with, and the CEO already stated officially that he and his company are SJWs that will do everything to shut down anything they don't like, also see>Slack
Same shit with different skin and the account and server systems are a clusterfuck

>Matrix
The best thing I've seen so far in terms of anonymous and decentralized P2P communication, most probably isn't popular because very few people would find it if searching simply for a way to communicate online, instead of explicitly looking for privacy and anonymity, it is indeed very good and an awesome client is built upon it, Riot

j0rd4n1337 is a cool kid, ok?

Are you really asking why a hive of freetards don't use or condone a piece of proprietary, closed-source software that collects data on its users? I mean, I'm sure you're not asking anything of the sort. That'd make you a complete retard.

can't use it because it's necessary to fill a captcha to register and google doesn't like me

It's an electron app

Quick Sup Forums, you are put in charge of choosing the communications software for the whole company. Everyone must move to it or they get fired. What do you pick?

Homing Pigeon

>Why does everyone in Sup Forums hate discord... ?

Because most companies are using Discord for internal use, you can join in you workplace server meanwhile shitposting spongebob memes in other server with other nick

Wait really?

]no

ms teams.
skype for business
slack
in that order.

Wire, extend contributions to enable channel-like modes.
It does everything else, end-to-end encryption like Signal with all the meme goodies of Discord.

I just find the UI to be a clusterfuck.
I tried to invite someone who never used it before, and I needed his username to add it to my friends list, but there were two names associated with the account, and he was giving me the wrong one and it was a mess. Also it always defaults to the wrong input device; not sure what's up with that but it's a pain in the ass.
If you're just using it as a messaging program, I find Slack to be much better. It's practically the same UI, except done right.

>Matrix
Tried to get into that, but it is just such a clusterfuck of information all at once. I'm sure it's better, but good god I don't want to have to learn the interface. I want something simple.

This is why Matrix is the answer. Matrix will save us from this nightmare.

There are simpler clients such as Nheko if you think there is too much information

Here's a question about that... Do the clients share a userbase, or are they scattered?

>muh privacy
check any ToS, nobody has privacy. all info is sold to try and sell you bullshit. people keep making a big deal over something they have no control over. if people really wanted privacy, they would find a way to EMP the whole fucking planet and start from scratch.

so no, i dont hate it because im not naive to believe i have any sort of privacy in today's world. it works for keeping my friends and i connected, and i can be in other servers for help and or entertainment. like being on this site, but not so slow.

I hate discord, but glad they have a web version. Friends ditched Skype, TeamSpeak etc. years ago and since I don't have any social media, discord is the only way I can contact them outside of Steam or mobile.

>botnet
>polices channels
>always breaks somehow
>faggit quotes "like a good little boy" in menus

It's a bloated resource hog that takes up more ram and CPU than skype (written in FUCKING ELECTRON JAVASCRIPT) that has an ugly flat fisher price UI and takes up a massive amount of screen real estate. The interface is broken, clunky, and cluttered. It doesn't even support Windows XP. Full of useless bloat and junk features.

These people got an AIM server up and running and it's far superior to shitcord

I needed this image... easiest way to get rid of these faggots

Matrix is just the protocol. You can use different clients, run your own server, whatever. It all connects.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
I'd quit. Theres no fucking way your boss is competent if he's even considering using that trash in the workplace

>no license
Fuck off fake konqiposter

This... But most discord users wouldn't even know what electron is or why its bad because they're retarded gamers

>uses windows xp
>shills aim
Do you want to know how I know you're a South Asian pedophile?

Not him but you're a retard if you think that AIM server that's still under active development in 2018 isn't impressive

It's just IRC with voice twaddle and it spies on conversations.

because only gay people use discord

but it's a webapp

>nobody has privacy
>what is end-to-end encryption
>what is self-hosting
>what is open source
>what are distributed networks
How many times am I going to have to say this: NSA SHILLS OUT.

I remember reading a Forbes about these guys a few months ago. They were being praised for raising so much money. My thoughts were these guys weren't legit because this type of program would have been released as open source 10 years ago.
It is very troubling that most new things now a scheme to mine your data.

It's impressive in the same way that niggers still banging rocks together for entertainment is amazing. It's a "I can't believe this shit is still a thing" kinda feeling

it spies on many things
especially if you're a phoneposter and install it on your phone

I will quote the privacy policy,

"The Company is not in the business of selling your information. We consider this information to be a vital part of our relationship with you. There are, however, certain circumstances in which we may share your information with certain third parties, as set forth below".

Apparently, they don't sell data, but then there is also,

"This Privacy Policy does not apply to any information collected by us other than information collected through the Services. This Privacy Policy shall not apply to any unsolicited information you provide to us through the Services or through any other means. This includes, but is not limited to, information posted to any public areas of the Services, such as suggestion forums, any ideas for new products or modifications to existing products, and other unsolicited submissions (collectively, “Unsolicited Information”). All Unsolicited Information shall be deemed to be non-confidential and we shall be free to reproduce, use, disclose, and distribute such Unsolicited Information to others without limitation or attribution.".

So at the end, do they sell it or not?

>So at the end, do they sell it or not?
Well they don't have any other business model, so what else are they doing?

They don't sell the stuff they don't have. Like how you don't eat stuff you didn't put in your mouth.

nothing to hide nothing to fear

because they ban trolls

dis

Logo looks like Mickey mouse pants

Oh no, please God, don't sell all this precious bot-posted furry porn from my nsfw channel to the Chinese! What will we do!? Who the fuck cares. Does anyone actually use discord for anything serious other than to share really shitty memes, literally just scream at eachother if actually playing vidya and @everyone to annoy every motherfucker whos not smart enough to mute the server? Stop being a cuck, create a seperate email and use a different password for "shady" apps developed by jews and stop crying about it.

AHAHAHHAHA FCKING FURFAG

>animehomo implying only the messages are collected, not anything like location data or device data or address book data or homosex data of animehomos homosexual tendencies to homo

t. I'm Using It So I'm Gonna Try Everything To Convince Myself It's Fine

What is a good non botnet alternative to discord? Is there some modified client of it that would work fine?

Riot
Mumble

>botnet
>extremely shit coding, frontend is buggy and slow (mostly slow because it's an electron app though), backend must also be shit because servers seem to go offline at least a few times a month
disco on bitbucket. even works on plan 9!

Hmm I'm not familiar with bitbucket could you link the download for the package?

go get github.com/bwmarrin/discordgo
go get github.com/gorilla/websocket
go get golang.org/x/crypto
go get bitbucket.org/henesy/disco


Or you could gather all that and build later.

>modified client
you'd still be using their servers so why bother

numale IM platform for people too stupid to use IRC, these days people basically expect you to have discord and if you don't you're a social outcast/weirdo. it's the dumbest shit, it's like the epitome of fake software and soyboy webapps

customization options are shit, the settings/profile preferences are shit, there's barely anything you can do about your privacy (and fuck you if you want to remain anonymous in any way; this is basically facebook messenger for gamers now so you better get used to having a name and profile pic that sticks with you the whole time unless you like making a billion alt accounts (and yeah i know there's display names but still)) like don't get me wrong it works i guess but i hate it because of the image it gives me in my head

They started advertising it as complete messenger replacement (it's hilarious how they compare themselves to skype though)

Feels nice to net be a filthy normie and be able to set up teamspeak.
