@waldschnecke @xgranade also #discord is an #InformationBlackhole worse than #MicrosoftTeams.

• At least Teams has some proper #DataExport functions for "#Compliance" reasons…

Also any halfassed #Forum has a proper #SearchFunction and doesn't require an account to find answers!

So if my #rant on how garbage #discord and other messengers like it didn't convince you guys to "#DropAndRun away from discord", then consider the fact of legal #liability as a user.

• Even if I didn't gave a shit about discord being a shitty #app that is an #InformationBlackhole, I'd certainly make myself liable if I were to use discord or even run an "instance" (DON'T CALL IT A #Server!) because I'd knowingly and/or willingly facilitate or support that shit, cuz even cached PFPs would qualify as CSAM possession and I'm not gonna "#FuckAroundAndFindOut" myself in court!

#NotLegalAdvice

@PinoBatch +9001%

• #discord and other shitty #SingleVendor & #SingleProvider #SaaS creates #InformationBlackhole|s.

#IssueTracker and #TicketingSystem|s are way better means to report bugs.

• #Docukentation is key and users should be given accessible, step-by-step guides and easy troubleshooting help where needed.

The problem with garbage #SaaS #platforms like #Discord - beyond being an #InformationBlackhole - is that their nonchalant attitude towards #moderation (including absolutely indefensible content!) is only fueling #Cyberfascists that want to mandate #Govware like "#ChatControl" and other means to restrict #privacy.

• And that makes said platforms not just "#UsefulIdiots" but #accomplices in #Cyberfascism and #Cybercrime!

Cuz unlike some real #E2EE they do hold all the data and all the keys but choose to not act upon reports!

@ireneista yeah, #pipermail and other #MailingList archival systems are great, cuz they allow one to quickly find & link relevant comms.

• They are the exact opposite of #discord, which is an #InformationBlackhole!

@pancake Relative.

• I think in that case there's rather a systemic problem of underresourced #FLOSS projects: More funding and personnel would greatly help in said effort.

The only thing #StaleBot generates are #duplicates due to new tickets being opened with the exact same problem…

• It's almost as garbage as using #discord for #documentation and #support when #MkDocs-Material on #GitHubPages would've done a better job and not create yet another #InformationBlackhole!

I don't deny the issue at hand; I just think that such a massive pile needs to be combed through better by using tags and prioritization. Even if that means one has split the backlog into half a dozen different baskets that read "feedback", "suggestion", "bug", "security", "ui/ux", "building", "l18n/i18n", "accessibility", "reproduceability", etc...

@GabeMoralesVR Personally, I think using #discord should disqualify one for work in #IT just like a recent conviction for #DUI disqualifies one for driving a school bus.

• And that's not even accounting for it being #Bloatware that is #Enshittified but being an #InformationBlackhole.
