Discord defends itself against efforts to stop piracy on its platform by saying no to more invasive data collection. Even though Discord isn’t exactly known for privacy, this is a great move for its users. What are your thoughts?

Because a lot of people go to discord servers to access existing information?
That is a good point, I have never done that, and to me it is just a chat system…
Far more than should tbh. Too many little game mods will have a Discord for questions and reporting issues rather than using their GitHub or a forum.
Oh I agree, it’s very much a “forcing a round peg into a square hole” situation, but I doubt discord will make any changes to push back against it
Why would they care what you use it for as long as you use them and give them money
Because now you’re using discord for more things? You’re giving them more data? What’s not to like
Doubt that they are scrapping the data themselves at this point in time. They care more about the user count as their major revenue seems focused on selling nitro and whatever shit they are putting up in their shop. Not in anyway saying that it is secure obviously and they might choose to sell data like reddit but gotta sick with the more plausible scenarios.
Well who knows, they do offer AI summaries now so they’re at least using the data for something,who says they won’t use it for other things in the future
Didn’t know that was a thing but I am on a Linux fork so haven’t seen that yet.
They’ve only enabled it on a few servers but you can force enable it via vencord plugins

Oh I don’t think it’s a problem for Discord, but when it comes to software projects specifically I find the reliance on Discord frustrating because of its non-public orientation. If I’m having an issue I’d far rather search for a solution on a public wiki, bug report system, or forum than sign up for one more Discord server.
