Discord defends itself against efforts to stop piracy on its platform by saying no to more invasive data collection. Even though Discord isn’t exactly known for privacy, this is a great move for its users. What are your thoughts?

    Exactly. It’s like IRC w/ audio (and probably video now?) chat, and you can post gifs and whatnot. It should be used for discussion, and it’s perfectly okay for that. I would prefer something a bit more privacy focused (again, IRC is decent here, just needs some cryptography), but it’s okay.

    But yeah, not a fan of it being a resource for anything beyond meeting like-minded people to have discussions with.
