@skylar@DemonSixOne@adachi This. I'd love if small niche communities I really want to be a part of didn't use discord or reddit but I'd rather be part of those communities than not use shitty sites
@sapphire@skylar@DemonSixOne What? You can't configure discord like Chrome at all. You can use unjewgled chromium, and have no data collection, there is no way to configure discord to NOT collect data.
@adachi@skylar@DemonSixOne >it’s a dedicated browser Wow so it’s chrome with some features removed and you can configure it just like chrome if you know what you’re doing? Color me shocked
That said, I run discord in my browser because I’m lazy and I don’t want the obsessive guy in the mlpccg channel to know I’m online on steam cuz I don’t have 2 hours to dedicate to a tts game
You're the retard, faggot. I'm talking about a website running *in* a web browser, Chrome application itself can collect as much as it wants from the computer.
Discord Program is a dedicated browser, so Discord can collect data it couldn't inside of chrome.
@sapphire@skylar@DemonSixOne I'm sure even the most permissive web browser like Chrome default will still permit less data collection than a Windows version of Discord.
Windows has very little in the way of restrictions. Browsers are restrictive by nature.
@adachi@skylar@DemonSixOne depends on your web browser and how you have it set up, the discord "program" is just Electron which is just extra Chrome-osome
@adachi@skylar@DemonSixOne yes thank you I do in fact know basic internet anonymity (though downloading Discord's program is just a webapp with extra steps anyway)
@sapphire@skylar@DemonSixOne If you you're using d*scord at least use it as a webapp and not a program. and for the love of god don't use your real phone number
@adachi@DemonSixOne@sapphire nooooo you have to have a formal debate nooooo you can't just shitpost nooooo you have to seriously engage with my autistic opinions
@sapphire@skylar@DemonSixOne You're genuinely so bad at arguing, this is like when I debate you on pickup trucks, and once you realized you're wrong you walked it back by joking. Maybe think before spewing shit, retard.
@meso@DemonSixOne@sapphire@skylar i actually like debate, though i guess its rude of me to debate retards and mental patients. it's like ben shapiro debating college students, can he really call it a win when the bar is so low?
@adachi@Cyrillic@skylar@DemonSixOne data they already have, I’m not worried about it. The only data collectors that don’t already have this data are corporations and they job to Adblock.
@sapphire@Cyrillic@skylar Privacy people worrying about data collection in an app used to make public posts and livestream to the public never fails to amuse me.
@adachi@Cyrillic@skylar@DemonSixOne sure would suck if I was simping for Muslim invaders in a totalitarian dictatorship in the third world specifically
@adachi@skylar@DemonSixOne@sapphire notable are things the app openly does like track what processes are on your computer sharing my screen goes through a browser interface for instance, so yea much better than locally run spyware
@DemonSixOne@Cyrillic@skylar privacy chim is achieved when you realize the government already has all your data and gigacorp Inc is just collecting it to serve you ads
@sapphire@skylar@DemonSixOne@Cyrillic essentially. i dont even care because ads, when i see em, are a nuisance at most, i never fall prey to em (perks of being poor and autistic)
@adachi@DemonSixOne@sapphire oh cool another thing extremely online autistic people think i should care about on principle just like obsessing over linux init systems or what software license something has
@adachi@DemonSixOne@sapphire yes i'm sure it's the intelligence community's top priority to collect a bunch of anime girls and shitposts from a few tiny communities. thousands of analysts are hard at work trying to decipher the meaning of this image
@skylar@DemonSixOne@sapphire >"top priority to collect a bunch of anime girls and shitposts from a few tiny communities." >implying its not mass collected automatically
Feds have been proven in the past to backdoor into every major communication service. No way they don't have teeth in Discord too. Remember Prism?
As for why you should care, you should care on principle, frankly. I can't imagine having so little care about such serious things.
Either you're genuinely an unprincipled retard or you're a gaslighting fed.
@sapphire@skylar@DemonSixOne@adachi my day to day isn't impacted negatively if i dont give a shit about privacymaxxing, but it does get impacted if i do care. So..
@sapphire@DemonSixOne@adachi bro you don't get it they might have THE SERIAL NUMBER OF MY MOTHERBOARD stored in a database with 10 trillion other records of completely worthless information in a datacenter that was built to grift off the defense budget
