discord and twitter...

I'd recommend Stoat because they won't rape you for all the personal data they can.

Can't wait to see how this will result in another massive leak of personal data that they totally don't retain.

I haven't used discord for a couple of years. got an email yesterday informing me that unless I log in soon, my account will be deleted.

...oh no

I'm going to let them delete it, saves me having to

Who uses Linux thats still on discord ? Thats like non compat lol

I found out the other week that its the only social media I have left. Except LinkedIn but in this economy...?

Anyway, its my most reliable way to talk to all of my friends and half my family, and I hate it. But hey, at least its not Facebook.

I run fedora for my main pc, cachyos on my laptop and ubuntu server for the home server PC - for the Linux street cred.

It’s how I stay in touch with friends. I use Vesktop. Flatpak. Removes the tracking

Edit: appreciate the concern, but we talk about games and stuff. I’m not doing banking or personal shit on discord. If China records whatever is said, not too worried about PII

then where’s stoat.sdf.org? 🤣

wait until u find how many distros + libre software use pisscorp

The lights are barely kept on for our Lemmy instance, I don't expect a Stoat server anytime soon...

Wow and to think I could have gone without knowing that and that it would have had absolutely no impact on my life whatsoever. Crazy. Makes you think. About burritos or something. Certainly not about Discord on Linux though.

I'd recommend Fluxer over Stoat. Seems to be gaining more users and traction in a fraction of Stoat's time.

too little, too late

Then maybe they should take a massive bankloan🤣😂

I hate to say it but Lemmy is also social media.

Some of the tracking. They still store your messages you send in plain text and who knows what they do with that!

TypeScript

damn. Gonna stick to slidcord until it gets fixed.

does screen share work on Wayland yet?

Why do something yourself when someone is more than willing to do it for you!

Sometimes there isn't a choice because others you're in contact with prefer discord.

Not sure how you weren't able to think this for yourself?

If you don't support their choice to use discord, perhaps they will leave discord and go to something better. The same applies to twitter, instagram, facebook etc

"Not sure how you weren’t able to think this for yourself?"

Be the change

Is that irony, and/or are the likes ironic? This is social media.

It does for my setup. I'm on a not too crazy install of Arch with KDE for my DE and I have discord installed with flatpak. It's been at least 3 months with no issues for me.

When I need to check something on Discord I do it with a browser anyway, I tried installing it on linux but every time I would run it I would get a demand to manually install a new binary because there was an update, and I don't want it having that level of access to my computer anyway.

Crow needs to learn.

fluxer.lemmy.world is still returning a 404

It used to do that for one of my devices, but it has since stopped, no idea what to say to the access though.

I feel like it's been working for almost 2 years at this point for me. The only issue I have is it shares all audio instead of just the application I'm sharing.

If they enjoy discord, they are likely okay with Twitter. At best you would see Discord on Bluesky.

bluesky aka blue twitter

*Raven

most likely: Corvus coronoides perplexus

Well known for their intelligence, they wouldn't make excuses for backing trash.

Yep, thats me. People can't make the smallest change to get away from evil corpo shit then sucks for them.

I recommend Haven if your focus (!) is self hosting. Just a single container.

Chatto is also quite interesting (especially architecturally), but I dislike event sourcing without ability to technically prune old stuff. Also it’s closer to Slack than Discord.

Uhh they still store all your images photos and voice. And likely use your voice for ai training.

What has this anything to do with leaking personal data? This is about the global shortcuts, that can be used while your operating system focus is on another application. This is a long standing issue on Wayland and just recently got solved I think. And Discord being one of the first to make use of this new Wayland "feature" is absurd (in a good way). So I don't understand where you coming from with this statement.

Why not just open a web browser tab and go to Discord webpage?

I just reorganized some bookmarks and thought about how can I unite Lemmy and Imgur in one group; Social. I have no idea how this could be categorized other than being social media. Any ideas welcome.

pizza and pineapple

FINALLY

They will just not follow you to whichever app with 5 users you move to tbh

https://noai.duckduckgo.com/?q=discord+data+leak

What exactly do you want tell me with that? I should search for data leaks through a search engine? This does not address my point whatsoever. We are talking about global shortcuts protocol from Wayland here, has nothing to do with data leaks: https://flatpak.github.io/xdg-desktop-portal/docs/doc-org.freedesktop.portal.GlobalShortcuts.html

Then they should be left behind, it's not like there is a shortage of humans on the planet.

"What exactly do you want tell me with that? I should" click on those links?

I'm guessing their point was to do with the 1st word in the title of the thread.

You are not a very serious person

But your link does not address my issue, you are talking about data leaks. But the global shortcuts on Wayland has nothing to do with Discord dataleaks that happened in the past. You are conflicting two different topics here. Click the link I provided (its not a search link, its an actual result) and read through to understand what global shortcuts are.

I'm very serious about not being apathetic, and/or a conformist.

Some people lead

Some people follow

Some people shakes their heads, and see soylent green as almost inevitable.

I'm not qualified to address your issue.
