Lost yearly Nitro and all my friends

That’s sadder than he seems to understand it is.

I know "lol anon has no friends" is le epic funny meme but by friends, they obviously meant their contacts.

[-] mossy_@lemmy.world 15 points 1 month ago

I have a lot of people, I'd consider friends, that I only communicate with through discord. If I lost my account, I'd likely never hear from them again. Kinda get it.

[-] TwanHE@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago

Idk might just be talking about his online friend's. But knowing 4chan maybe not

[-] chicken@lemmy.dbzer0.com 113 points 1 month ago

This is one of the bigger reasons I don't want to use social media controlled by a corporation, it means they can choose to cut me off from people at their discretion, which will probably be based on what is convenient and easy for them.

And as Reddit has shown they will shut you down for expressing any political opinion they don't like.

Luigi is an American hero. Whether he did it or not is irrelevant. It's what he stands for.

Never understood why anyone would want to pay 100$ a year for discord, the paid version doesnt give you that much imo

[-] pumpkinseedoil@mander.xyz 33 points 1 month ago

Which is a good monetation system. Premium users barely get anything but still enough to pay, while free users can do pretty much everything too.

I spam 500mb uploads... it kinda makes sense to me

[-] iAmTheTot@sh.itjust.works 16 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Personally, Discord has facilitated a long distance relationship with my now wife, and nearly ten years of weekly TTRPG games. I don't mind the cost because they cannot provide that service for free forever, and I think it's worth it for what I get out of it. The other benefits they add for paying are almost just bonuses to me after that.

you could also pay to host some shit like mumble.

[-] vithigar@lemmy.ca 14 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

It cannot be overstated how much of a boon Discord's lack of friction is for connecting with people and forming communities. It is mind-flatteningly easy to get onto Discord and into a community, and while the content of those communities is woefully unindexed deep web, forever sequestered, the external discoverability of the communities themselves is exceptional.

You will not ever reach the same people with the same ease of use as Discord if you use a hosted alternative.

Mumble does not look like a replacement for all the things I use Discord for.

personally the $3 a month nitro is worth it for me, considering how much I use it. I know Lemmy hates anything capitalist but a coffee a month isnt that much

[-] dev_null@lemmy.ml 9 points 1 month ago

I pay $30 a year for Nitro Basic. It's only $2.50 a month and worth it to me with how much I use it.

Anon doesn't know, Discord fails to include a libre software license text file. We do not control it, anti-libre software.

  • Three-year-old* account with no violations
  • 5-year-old* alt account
[-] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 50 points 1 month ago

I mean, if you’re on 4chan…

[-] VitoRobles@lemmy.today 19 points 1 month ago

This was my first thought.

Obviously did some shit then trying to gain sympathy like omg I was banned for being nice.

[-] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 47 points 1 month ago

Lost yearly Nitro

You cuck.

[-] glitchdx@lemmy.world 44 points 1 month ago

And I'm not looking forwards to the effort it is going to take to get my friends to migrate away from discord. It was hard enough to get them on discord in the first place.

[-] AI_toothbrush@lemmy.zip 38 points 1 month ago

Same happened to me but with animal cruelty content or something. I tried to get the account back but turns out it was a "ban wave" so a lot of other people who got banned but were innocent were doing the same so discords services got overwhelmed by the appeals. Maybe they should have realized after that that this kinda banning is a horrible approach.

[-] Frog@lemmy.ca 38 points 1 month ago

Anon's big mistake was not being the President of the Gulf of America.

[-] kane@femboys.biz 38 points 1 month ago

This is why people should be worried of using these massive services, luckily it was ‘only’ Discord (if this was your primary way to interact with friends, this can be a huge deal).

But imagine if it was your email account!

Getting a reputable provider, self hosting or using a decentralized option is paramount for your own sanity.

[-] psud@aussie.zone 16 points 1 month ago

There was that man who was all in on Google.

He had a telemedicine appointment for his son who had a problem with his penis. Dr asked him to send a close-up photo so he could diagnose the skin condition

So the guy takes the photo with his pixel phone and sends it

The phone automatically backs up the photo

Google's AI says it's child porn, his account is deleted and police are contacted

Police look into it and say "not porn, totally fine" but have to go to his house to tell him the was no problem because his phone was Google, his internet was Google fibre, his email was Gmail and his photo album was on Google and all that was irrevocably deleted

Currently having problems with GMail I lost my old phone (2fA) and no device was logged in so i could not access steam and like everything that requires that old mail

And my phone provider or postal service is stupid because i could not get a replacement sim after multiple tries which normally works

Googles account recovery policy is basically:

  • 2fA
  • recovery email
  • create a new account x.x

I think the recovery mail option only gets unlocked after 6? months inactivity because ~3 months ago i did not have the option

Now after requesting a recovery i still have to wait a full month before they maybe send me a password reset to my moms mail

But steam support was nice. Managed to get the account by providing a product key i used a few months ago and was lucky enough not to have thrown the physical card away

This made me thinking about Valve potentially banning my 19-years-old Steam account due to some error or a mistake 💀 I heard bad things about their customer support.

[-] backgroundcow@lemmy.world 37 points 1 month ago

On this topic: I currently have installed on my phone and computer: slack, zoom, MSTeams, element, discord, Facebook messenger and signal to communicate in various projects and friends. What is this madness?!

[-] LH0ezVT@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 month ago

Add telegram, threema, another matrix client for that other server and WhatsApp for some old friends to it

Anon forgot to put their interpersonal relationships in a RAID array

[-] Aggravationstation@feddit.uk 19 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

I created a Discord account so I could try Midjourney and my account got blocked within a few hours. I use a VPN most of the time, can't remember if I was with Discord so might have had the same IP as another user. Didn't bother to set up another account.

[-] Ganbat@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 1 month ago

They block most VPNs outright.

[-] LogicalDrivel@sopuli.xyz 12 points 1 month ago

All the more reason to not use Discord imo.

Good on discord for actually doing something given their reputation

[-] surph_ninja@lemmy.world 12 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Given their reputation, you should question if it’s actually due to CP, or some other kind of possible political crackdown. I wouldn’t assume either way.

Usually when it looks like these people are doing their jobs for once, it turns out to be something in line with their previous shit.

[-] HawlSera@lemm.ee 13 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

I'm legitimately paranoid about this scenario, especially since I'm in a couple of ERP servers, and I was friends with ReploidRevo.. yes THAT ReploidRevo, and never knew about what he did until after his downfall went viral. (Shocked the Hell out of me because he seemed so normal and on the up and up)

I'm worried that for reporting all those servers and people, I will get a permaban as a thank you.

[-] Boomkop3@reddthat.com 10 points 1 month ago

Discord usually just uses some bullshit allegations when they feel like kicking accounts down

[-] mr2meows@pawb.social 7 points 1 month ago

i hate discord so much my first discord account got permabanned because the owner of a server i was in went nuts and doxxed 8 year olds and my second account i got locked out for a year because they thought i was a bot and i couldnt use my phone number to verify because it was already in use on my first account then when i finally got in it had a 6 month ban because a server i was in got raided by racists that said slurs
