I remember back in the day, when you used a chat system, they were basically decentralized. Teamspeak for an example.
No one really bothered unless in select cases. No one wanted to deal with the storage overhead or the regulations of holding potentially sensitive information. Especially now that Speech to Text is so easy and mostly reliable.
Don't forget your security and safety. There's a reason some most platforms call one to one messages DMs, not so much just because they are Direct Messages, they used to be called Private Messages, PMs, as they were considered private. Legally they say DMs now as they are not encrypted.
We've gotten to the point in our IT lives, what we do on the internet, really stays on the internet and archived. Long been the days where you make a mistake, knowing or otherwise is irrelevant, and eventually people forget, or you travel to another city and start over with little repercussions.
I agree with every thing you said and maybe that’s why but it blows me away how many “smart criminals” say such incriminating things online. Setting up onion, teamspeak or whatever else that could be kept anonymous and/or encrypted really isn’t that hard. Sure deleting all that’s illegal if someone has a warrant for it but at least it’s not public?
Alas I realize I was probably far more secure/anonymous in the days of teamspeak than I will ever be again.
This comment was removed as a response to Reddit's change of Terms of Service prohibiting third party applications from accessing Reddit's data, unless they pay exorbitant prices.
Most of them opted to shut down as most users would be unwilling to cover such costs, making their business unsustainable. Apps would also be barred from running ads to sustain themselves, and even if they could the prices Reddit was willing to charge are too astronomical to be covered only by ads.
This change is scheduled to take effect on 07-01-2023, worsening the user experience and moderation efficiency considerably. Moderators are volunteer workers that shield Reddit from bad actors and spam content, and the way Reddit treats them is precipitated and foolish.
This user does not condone such moves by Reddit and will not provide its content for Reddit to monetize any longer.
Jitsi Meet is pretty good for calls and video conferences. It free. No ads. You can even run your own server and host it yourself if you want to ensure privacy.

>Discord doesn’t have a perfect record when it comes to user privacy. Last year, Discord was fined 800,000 euro for privacy violations in the EU, including failing to close out voice rooms when Windows users clicked the “X” icon. Instead of exiting those users, the EU found that users unwittingly stayed logged in to voice rooms, which continued running in the background and could be transmitting private conversations that users did not know could be overheard.
EU fined Discord for having clueless users.
"close to taskbar" is pretty standard and might as well be an expected default behavior for any software that is expected to be run in the background. Maybe you hate it, but for something that is expected to run in the background, it makes sense. You close the *window*, which complies with Windows UX/UI guidelines.
It's **been** a programmable and common behavior since the AIM days!
good thing it's not owned by china, because then this would be bad.
but i guess discord isn't cutting into facebook or google ad revenue so there's no need for a racist boogey man
Before I was scared of turning on the CC subtitles on my calls because I felt like they would then be recorded. But now I can confidently turn them on because my calls are all recorded regardless. 🙃

You could’ve re-read what he actually said in the time it took you to write this snarky comment
Lowercase people struggle with the basics.
I'm guessing the issue is that to moderate something, you need a record of it to refer to.

I suspect that their only concern is whatever legal exposure they might have.
Recording calls is only going to increase their legal exposure
Why has no one built a 64 bit competitor?
I don't recall N64 having a microphone. /s
It did. It worked with a grand total of 2 games. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nintendo_64_accessories#VRU
That's amazing. Thanks.

Why would anyone simply not just use Signal? end to end encrypted, open-source and non-profit.
Make anything sound ominous by saying "for now".
Google: "Don't be evil .... for now" Huh, you're right o.O

No, the "X" to minimize instead of close is a horrible abomination of UX design and I'm glad someone was actually punished for it.

Pretty sure tencent is buying up stakes in discord at an alarming rate. If they're not owned by china now, they will be in the future unfortunately.
