Stop using Windows. Stop using Discord.

Yep. On it almost a year now, ever since 10 was EOL’d and I learned Discord was building a profile on every user based on usage.

Linux has been awesome and Discord mostly sucked anyway.

What solution did you end up on post Discord? If you had a group of people you communicated on Discord with, did you have luck migrating them out? I’d like to move, but my use is already really minimal and I feel like getting my friend group out is going to be difficult to non-existent in some cases.

None. I was never invested in it very heavily. I had one channel that I was a pretty involved member on but the whole “you don’t have to tell them how old you are, they’re going to use an algorithm and your usage patterns to deduce it,” I was just haha no, fuck that, and I quit.

Fair enough. I strictly use it for comms in games I play with friends. I’m not active in any other communities and I’m certainly not paying for nitro. I’d like to migrate but getting everyone to do so probably won’t happen. I could maybe convince my closest game friends, but I have a clan in a game with people I don’t know that we use discord to chat. Definitely not getting all 40+ to move.

Matrix is what I moved to. To make transition easier for my core friends I wrote a guide with step by step instructions and pre-made a replica of our discord server. I got probably 70% of them to come over.

The real hit was large communities. For roughly a month I came in daily letting my communities know about what was happening and that I was gonna switch so if people wanted to find me here is where they could find me. I got 3 kinds of replies:

1. The nihilistic “I’ll never escape it, everyone already has my information, why fight it”
2. (In reference to the ID verification) “I’m not American so I don’t care if people have my ID because my country doesn’t have the problems America has”
3. “Moving is too hard and I use one specific feature the other apps don’t have and my friends are here so I’ll move when they move”

Moving to the new platform, giving a grace period to friends, and then moving and cutting contact with the platform had the highest success rate. People that want to talk with you will move, even if it’s just to only talk with you. But the hardest thing is accepting that some people just don’t care about their privacy and want the easy to use features enough that they are willing to lose contact with you.

Can’t speak for the other person, but I just left. Told my old groups I couldn’t stand Discord. Sometimes you don’t need an alternative idk I just chat with deferent people on different programs now.

My irl friends think I’m a weirdo but I’m at peace, and they know how to reach me.

Where will i post the classified documents if not discord?

War Thunder forums.

Unfortunately you’re only allowed to do that if you’re arguing that your (insert X vehicle here) should definitely have been able to take on (insert Y vehicle here) because of something in said classified documents.

Hey now not all of them leak documents. Some of them travel to warzones to acquire in person measurements.

Depends on the classification. TS is only approved on Signal group chats.

You can join my Stoat I’ll add a chat for you near the top of the list.

It’s not encrypted at the moment, though, but if the other members stay dormant I’ll consider it.

Why use a password manager if you can send yourself a list with your most used passwords?
