   A lot of people will start learning very fast about privacy on Discord.

   Or rather, that there is no privacy on Discord. :blobeyes:

   > Five hours after Charlie Kirk was shot this week, an Atlanta man got a phone call from an Illinois police officer asking about a photo he shared with a couple of close friends on a private Discord chat.

   If you run any kind of project or community and use Discord, this would be a very good time to reconsider your choice of a platform.

     Just to make this clear because it seems it's not clear to a lot of folks using Discord:

     The way Discord uses the term "server" is massively misleading. There is no separate physical or logical infrastructure involved. No separate "instance" of any software.

     In Discord, "server" means the same thing as "channel" on Telegram, or "group" on Facebook.

     With everything that this implies – like Discord's access to all data shared in these "servers", including "private" ones.

     @rysiek@mstdn.social Server isn't the official name that Discord themselves uses, it just is the userbase itself being really stupid. Discord officially calls them "Guilds".

     @rysiek I keep trying to get my RP group to use abything else. Discord is a platform I keep as lighthearted and sanatized as my PlayStation chats.
