if you've sent me a friend request on discord out of the blue, please explain. I am saying this because there's no mutual connections of any kind and I don't recognize the username, but it looks like a legitimate account.

@0xabad1dea you know, it's interesting, I noped out of Discord almost as hard as I did out of Facebook.. and I honestly don't miss it at all. I had kinda forgotten it existed. Signal is the new Discord, for me.

@codinghorror do I trust them to still be usable in 2035? no. but I don't trust anything else that exists right now to still be usable in 2035 either, so I'm going to use what works for me, right now.

@0xabad1dea I mean in terms of giving you up to the government, not software usability.

@codinghorror why would they need to give us up to the government when the government could simply click the readily available "join" link like anyone else? should I also stop posting on mastodon because the government can read my public posts that I made easily available on purpose?

@SuperDicq @codinghorror those are protocols. irc servers, the actual physical things that make the bytes go, vanish all the time. and are also notoriously, horrifically unusable (THIS IS MY ASSESSMENT AS AN EXPERIENCED IRC USER).

@0xabad1dea@infosec.exchange @codinghorror@infosec.exchange Yeah but the fact that you can just make a new server when one disappears is like the whole point, right? That means it will work forever as long as someone is willing to host a server.

@0xabad1dea@infosec.exchange @codinghorror@infosec.exchange It is indeed true that if you use Discord just for public chatrooms there will be no "infosec" issues.But there is severe software freedom issues. Discord hates free software so much that it even bans people who try to use free software clients to connect to it.

@SuperDicq @codinghorror but I'm NOT willing to host an irc server! I don't hate myself THAT much! please stop @'ing me about "solutions" I don't want to problems I don't have! discord has done exactly what I've wanted for the last five years, and if I'm lucky it will keep doing that at least five more, and at some point I'll have to figure out something new and it will probably be a lot better than i r fucking c !!!!

@0xabad1dea@infosec.exchange @codinghorror@infosec.exchange People often tell me that instead of complaining I should offer solutions instead.If you don't want solutions I can keep naming more reasons why Discord is bad if that is what you wish.

@0xabad1dea@infosec.exchange I didn't mean to upset you, but I do wanna say that I'm not doing this to "troll" you or something.People keep insisting everyone use Discord for everything, because of these sheepish "But it works for me" type reasons. People who think like this actually trigger me because they are unknowingly part of the prevalent cycle that is peer-pressuring the whole world into using Discord.So if I want to join specific discussion or contribute to project and I can't do that because it's all on Discord now that obviously affects me and I take great issue with that.I do my best to try and convince people to stop using Discord for this reason any time it comes up.

@SuperDicq and I mean this in the most sincerely sympathetic way that I possibly can – if other people having different priorities and drawing the line a little differently from you on which software they do and don't want to use is "actually triggering" to you, then it is recklessly self-destructive of you to be interjecting yourself into random discussions about other people's software preferences, and what you're doing is dragging a random stranger into a self-harm ritual.

@0xabad1dea@infosec.exchange I don't see this as a self-harm ritual. I see this is as activism.How else am I going to convince other people to start using software that respects the user's freedom if I can't talk about it?I have convinced other people, but some people can not be convinced, but it's always worth it to try.

@SuperDicq @0xabad1dea >How else am I going to convince other people to start using software that respects the user's freedom if I can't talk about it?I've told you this before. First you make a platform that can compete. Then you can recommend it. If you do the latter before the former, this thread happens because what you think might be a viable option, doesn't fit the use cases for most people. XMPP isn't a Discord alternative and never will be. Matrix is much closer, but the reference implementation sucks, it has weird design choices like server always having full chat history and eats resources. Element is also not that great. So first be active in Matrix circles supporting developers trying to fix it and then you can be an activist in Discord circles promoting Matrix.

@SuperDicq @0xabad1dea This is the same with GNU/Cultists recommending switching to Linux, or even worse linux-libre while disregarding that it simply can't always be done, because Linux as a whole simply isn't there. People have been trying for 2 decades and there's a reason why the market share is mostly the same. *insert "infinity energy source - Linux can't do it" meme*

@phnt@fluffytail.org @0xabad1dea@infosec.exchange I am already supporting developers of free software projects.I do not support Matrix specifically, because I dislike how the project is essentially owned by Element.But I know multiple people who are on the XMPP Standards Foundation in real life. I also consider XMPP the superior solution.

@phnt @0xabad1dea @SuperDicq GNU/Cult enjoyers never make a recommendation to switch to that proprietary software.The recommendation is to try GNU/Linux-libre unless the hardware is defective and if so, to try proprietary GNU/Linux.GNU/Linux implements all the functionality an OS needs and far more - but yes there is proprietary sabotage that is intended to prevent escaping from windows.Android is one of the most popular OS's and GNU/Linux runs on every computer that is important.The "OS Market share stats" are unreliable, as those are measured via useragents on a small percentage of normie sites - as far as I can tell, most normies have migrated to Android or iOS, with a few remaining on windows and some having swapped to GNU/Linux.
