Looking for information about using Discord for chat.

Bump, hopefully it comes to linux soon.

They recently started using canvas fingerprinting, take that as you like.

>>58038729
Um, it is. Get discord-canary.

>>58038729
I think you can just use the fucking browser to connect to discord. No need to download shit.

>>58038524
>Is it anonymous so don't have to worry about any crazies tracking you down?

if you're looking for a skype alternative, it's your bro

if you're looking to hide among criminals, look elsewhere

Question : how do they make money ?

>inb4 by selling cosmetic shit
It's quite hard to belive

Voice chat doesn't work. Crashes while complaining about shm files not existing.

>Apparently this is a common thing that normies get on discord to jack off together
i had a bunch of friends that used to watch porn and jack off together as well, sometimes i think normies are more jacked in the head than us

>hey man download the client

>yo this is just a web browser what thef uck?

>>58041911
Normies do everything together including being a homosexuail

>>58041911
They must be charging their crystals.

>>58041852
Their privacy policy says they save every single thing you post on chat. So they're probably gonna go full jew and start sending targeted ads in the future. The autistic shrieking by the users will be heard across dimensions.

>>58038776
sauce on that ? can't find it anywhere.

it's a botnet in full effect, no better than skype, also those messages it shows while loading up are reddit tier cancer

Discord isn't free. Source isn't available so you can't install on your own server. While messages are encrypted between the server and the client, they are not stored encrypted. So if you have personal information never ever share it on Discord, including your emails, names, bank accounts. Anything that can help to compromise you once someone eventually hacks their database and all the logs are released. This also means anyone managing the servers can see the contents easily too. While voice chat sessions aren't available for download, I wouldn't discount that they store those too, also unencrypted.

>>58041852
They will have special paid new features, they gave some examples but I forgot what those were exactly.

Aslo it scans your system for application activity and will attempt to sniff out your twitter/steam accounts.

Discord is comfy atm, but it will turn shit once they start adding ads and various other bullshit to the client, then everybody will jump back to TS.

Fuck no it's not safe to use.
It's easy, and free, and works well though.

>>58045447
>back to TS
why would you switch to an another botnet? use mumble

>>58041884
Funny voice chat doesn't work, I must have been talking to myself for the past six months

> Not using https://riot.im/app
> Worrying about botnet

Y'all need to stop sucking dick long enough to see that there exist good chat systems.

riot is shit
tox is shit
ring is shit
mumble is shit
teamspeak is shit

discord is botnet but its the best we got

>>58046015
discord is worse than all of those, the only thing it has going for it is the normie user base

>>58046310
>normie user base
Even then, riot still has a larger user base by virtue of the fact you can talk to any Gitter/Slack/IRC room through it. And mumble is by and large the best voice chat. Speex may be annoying but it _just_fucking_works_ and I've never had quality issues.

In short, to >>58046015, stop shilling discord. It's shit, nobody likes it, it's for jews. The end.

How the fuck hard is it to create something that has:
text chat ( with option to store encrypted )
voice chat ( with option to store encrypted )
can be installed on a server
has a (((free))) service that shills it by the side and previews new features

I mean really

>>58038524

anon, you're the crazy

>>58038524
yes

>>58038524
>So /g/ can you tell me about Discord.
it's skype, but with tasteful meme humor on launch window and update window.
It's basically skype except not shit.

'Calls' are no longer dependent upon the host's internet and skype servers, only discord's servers.

You have to seek out friending someone (both parties must agree and continue to consent), you can't receive an offer/spam.
You have pretty good noise control on a person and room basis.
Good enough admin controls for rooms.


The only information available is the information that you provide.

>>58038524
Loving the program so far. Can't find the logs. Are they proprietary?

>>58044404
is there an actual /g/ discord rather than the /csg/ one?

>>58038729
Not only is it on linux, there's even a command line client for it.

If you're on this board you need to be using an arch based distro if for no other reason than wider package access.

Isn't discord just IRC for normies?

>>58054450
People use it because it does everything ON everything. Especially in FFXIV where you typically have PS4 and PC players in the same party, they need something both sides can access.

>>58054450
the lounge is irc for normies

>>58038524
it's an app

it's not safe in any way, assume everything on it can be read

it's "anonymous" but you can't even look at the settings without making an account and conecting to a server god knows where

their logo is a pair of underpants with eyes and looks very silly

>>58044283
how can I check this myself, browser/plugin?

>>58038729
It's been available for several months already (the canary) and works flawlessly.

>>58054450
No.

>>58054814
I use Firefox and Canvasblocker, but I'd assume there's similar addons to other browsers.

ayy

>>58054266
/csg/ is the most active and fun discord, therefore the honorary /g/ discord

>>58044533

>bank accounts
how? you don't pay shit for them (yet)

>>58054933
why is there some code related to the webcam ? isn't this just a text and VOIP software without video stuff ?

>>58059207
they're planning on adding video sharing and screensharing soon

>went to discord
>its full of trap posting and endless image dump

take a look at room.co for an example of HTML5 screen/cam sharing
