A really annoying thing that absolutely needs to stop:

- "More info in the discord!" / "Changelog in the Discord!"

STOP THAT.

Discord is a closed, proprietary platform. Post your stuff on the actual open web where more people will see it.

@gamingonlinux Big agree. I've never yet managed so much as even to sign up for a discord - when I once tried, I kept getting accounts blocked due to "anomalous behaviour" in the middle of 2FA validation. WTAF?

"On discord" = "doesn't exist" here.

#discord #geek #fail

@xylophilist
Same here

Discord checks and works fine if you have a mainstream browser with all safety options turned off, allowing it to scan your system and user behaviour

Discord flags you as suspicious if you use VPN, andor other browsers with safety and anonymity options turned on

Asking to veryify your account per SMS is not so much an 2FA, it is more the kind of getting a phone number as personal ID, perhaps also to hassle and make you stand out as "paranoid nerd"

@xylophilist @gamingonlinux I got the same thing when trying to make a new account because work demanded one. I have a personal account but I don't use it & won't use it for work. I still do not have a Discord account for work & I don't intend on trying again to make one, I hate Discord & using Discord for work is stupid.
@xylophilist @gamingonlinux I hate Discord, but I hate how some people use Discord even more.
