Stop doing Discord

  • capitalists were not supposed to own your community
  • Years of hanging out yet no real-world use found for sending your private data to be sold to advertisers
  • Wanted to leak private data anyway for a laugh? We had a tool for that; it was called “turning off ublock origin”
  • “Yes please search our chat archive for answers to your question. it will certainly remain up forever and not get deleted when the shareholders realize it’s not profitable” statements dreamed up by the utterly deranged

Look at what discord admins have been demanding your respect for all this time:

  • task manager screenshot, discord using 97% of CPU
  • discord making too many automated requests and getting throttled
  • crash screenshot

“3rd-party client? lifetime ban”

They have played us for absolute fools

    How does Teamspeak differ from Discord in terms of ownership? Bc it seems like the functionality is pretty similar

      My understanding is that while Teamspeak does provide some public servers that you can connect to, most servers are privately hosted.

      People either subscribe to hosting services or host it on their own hardware which gives you complete control of the server and the content.

      I know I’m planning on trying to host my community server on my hardware, but I’m not too sure about how the “Homebase” comes into play with TS5
