Discord wanted to create a chat platform for gamers. Instead it’s attracted a community of white supremacists.
Discord is a free voice and text app with invite-only chat rooms, but those private servers quickly found a new fanbase with hate groups, who wanted to discuss plans in secret.
After white supremacist groups were revealed to have used Discord to plan the deadly Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, last year, Discord started banning those groups en masse. But purging hate from the private chat rooms is no easy task.
In early April, the media collective Unicorn Riot leaked more than a year of Discord logs leaked from the now-defunct neo-Nazi group The Traditionalist Worker Party. The leaked logs showed the TWP’s dramatic implosion after an affair and alleged assault among the party’s leaders in March. The chat logs also show a splinter group of former TWP members starting their own Discord chat room to discuss launching a new white supremacist group.

The chat logs were the latest in a series of leaked messages from neo-Nazi Discord chat rooms, called “servers.” But those servers shouldn’t have been online at all. After the Unite the Right rally, Discord shut down chat rooms associated with the rally and announced “action against white supremacy, Nazi ideology, and all forms of hate.”
The public declaration put Discord ahead of larger social media platforms like Twitter, where white supremacist Richard Spencer was verified as recently as November. (He remains on Twitter, albeit without his verified status.)

supressing political speech is okay when they're trump supporters.
t. hillary
Jason Morgan
i like teamspeak more
Nathan Ross
All of this just means right-wingers need to embrace crypto-anarchist thought and the associated technologies that facilitate free expression without censorship
It's almost as if there is some kind of associaton between Trump and the alt-right. Truly a mystery.
Wyatt Reed
>taking away verified status What exactly did they mean by this? Is Twitter no longer certain that the account is run by Richard Spencer?
Levi Myers
yeah it is good. i wish the mobile teamspeak app wasn't hidious and paid.
James Parker
>Most gamers are Asians. >By population more people in China play games than the entire population of the United States of America. >The Jew Fears the Samurai. No wonder they hate discord.
only people who use Mumble will reply to this, everyone else will continue pretending that Mumble didn't exists. the sad thing is that it's literally the solution to all of their discord bitching and we've known this for at least 5 years now.
Neat This is the proper way for a company to maintain their product. If magatards are serious, they should easily create an alternative if not superior product. Or whine and bitch because the red of communism has moved into their brains from chinkshit dyes
Julian Bennett
nah I'm not ignoring it, but i don't see how teamspeak is inferior to mumble. they both leave discord in the dust.
Parker Powell
Anyone to the right of Jeb Bush is alt right to these people
Noah Roberts
What is foss? Do you have to pay to have a server hosted?
Hunter Taylor
Yeah mumble is great. I used it for a long time when I played competitive TF2
Noah Carter
>Gamers are sexist/racist >We must destroy gaming >Gamers are dead
Oh shit I'm back in 2013
Robert Wilson
All this says to me is that the private servers aren't even really private and all your shit is being saved and stored somewhere that some white knight fags can access and leak if they don't like who is using their app.
Ian Martin
FOSS = Free and open source software. Teamspeak and discord are proprietary.
There are lots of free servers available, but yes hosting your own server does cost money. Better than the jews at discord spying on you.
Xavier Edwards
my friend has run a great little Mumble server in his living room for years.
Chase Reed
And? If you dont like it, dont use it. What are you, a snowflake needing the world to slaver to you?
Sebastian Flores
>Videogame playing nerds that have been bombarded with propagandist bullshit for decades keep getting prodded with sticks to this day Obviously nothing bad will come out of this, I'm sure
Hudson Powell
Discord is a cianigger death trap anyway
Caleb Ramirez
Because discord is in the process of becoming a monopoly, if it isn't already. Pretty soon there will be no choice.
If you don't like Twitter, for example, where else do you go? Gab? top kek.
Camden Powell
>implying MAGApedes are not gaymers at 90%
Teamspeak isn't a webapp and is too hard to use for 90% of the population. On the other side you can create an account and use Discord in 10sc from your browser without having to download anything, it's pretty powerful design.
>chinese >samurai
Stop posting please.
Jason Rodriguez
It's already backdoored from everywhere and they are mass selling your datas.
Lincoln Jackson
USE MUMBLE THEN, JESUS CHRIST! PROBLEM SOLVED
Julian Jones
This, at some point they will realise that the reason things keep getting "taken over" by "white supremacists" is because there are fucking loads of us.
Easton Cox
real niggas use FidoNet over onion-routers
Ryder Powell
Tox, twatter, myspace, gibber, skype Found your own, you arent looking for global coverage.
Colton Harris
>Tox, twatter, myspace, gibber Hardly anyone uses these websites. What use is a social network without any users?
Use your common sense. If all your friends use discord, and you don't, what do you do?
Robert Long
Loads of cumskins
Find new friends? If everyone else beleives in multicult, do you get blacked too?
Landon Edwards
I downloaded it a few days ago and it's awesome. If they don't give their user data to Russian government they won't give it to SPLC kikes either. I don't know if there's a Telegram group for Jow Forumstards already, but if somebody knows the link let me know.
Discord is a Chinese-owned botnet that's spying on userbase in the same way that Google, Zuckerberg and the NSA spy on everyone. If they're suppressing communication between users then how is that any different from when all the ZOGbots cry about how PUTIN is a threat to our democracy because he bought adspace on Jebook?
Angel Taylor
It's almost like the alt-right and gamergate are related...
Cameron Ross
just ignore the lying media
Juan Reed
>Find new friends You may be willing to do that, but pretty much everyone else isn't. So do you acknowledge discord is a monopoly, and there isn't any real "alternative"?
Landon Jones
So you acknowledge skype is a monopoly and there is no alternative?
Nicholas Ortiz
any form of communication that has or will be invented will be used to complain about the black animal, they're just that bad
Parker Lewis
i just want to talk about fucking video games, for fucks sake fuck these fucking people
Jack Lee
In its niche yes, but its mostly boomers who use skype these days.
Do you spend time on any internet community or forum? They will have a discord link. Dont want to use discord? Well then, have fun never interacting with a huge chunk of of the gaming oriented internet ever again. All your friends use discord? Well then, just abandon all your friends. Sage advice.
Alexander Wilson
They don't read that quicker reaction time trends with above average IQ
Anthony Fisher
And so discord was known time immemorial It is said you can scroll back far enough and find the baryonic arguments
Glad to know you are a degenerate blacked just to have friends.
Jace Garcia
(((Weill)))
Daniel Wood
the radical integrationist movement has lost most of their credibility and now like most socialist regimes seek to clamp down on the naturally tribal and self interested populace who are engaging in dangerous wrongthink that threatens the regime. its all downhill from here.
This. I just want to gas the kikes and play videogames from time to time.
Hudson Cruz
need some pol content on this discord DPsxRa
Noah Taylor
I know it's weak bait, but, whatever the original discussion is, I must admit Discord's technical abilities are fucking insane and impressive. A chat service that can manage dozens of thousands of people in the same room is something, but I've actually seen an instance of having dozens of thousands of people in the same VOICE CHAT room at the same time without it crashing. The admins had to stop it because it was chaos with everyone talking at the same time, but it was not limited technically. Discord truly is fucking insane on that aspect.
For those curious, it was during the crisis and literal take-over of the Anathema vanilla WOW private server by the new team of Light's Hope. On that night, they did an improvised interview on discord and invited the whole playerbase.
Oliver Roberts
The SPLC helps them by their own admission to control hate. There was the issue before that they use the GPS in your mobile phone to add to their log files when you view it from your mobile phone.
Hudson Mitchell
>have fun never interacting with a huge chunk of of the gaming oriented internet ever again The absolute state of Jow Forums these days.
Children, there was this thing called IRC, and no corporation controlled it...
Have you ever noticed that every place on the internet which doesn't have outrageously tight controls on what you can and cannot say inevitably turns into a den of white supremacy?
It's almost as if white supremacy is true and the restrictions on our speech are an attempt to prevent us from realizing that.
Thomas Hughes
>not still using IRC damn kids, get off my lawn
Matthew Perez
gaming used to be meritocracy, then the gaymers and beta orbiters orbiting attentionwhores showed up and ruined everything. /nuchan/ is guilty of all the sins /oldchan/ fought against such as giving a platform to retarded normies.
Easton Rodriguez
Grandad please stop your embarrassing me
Zachary Powell
Nah dude discord is an echochamber the “conservatives” that come from discord are scum of the earth desu
James Jackson
IT IS OK TO BE WHITE
This is insane! If black people talk about black issues the media is happy. If white people talk about white issues the media declares RACISM!
>fat bitch sees car accident and has a heart attack >everyone describes your event as "deadly" I hate journalists
Jonathan Taylor
>deadly Unite the Right rally
Deadly as in 1 death caused by left-wing provocation, which was possible thanks to police refusing to keep the left and right crowds separated, and literally ordering them to march into each-other.
James Fields had an AR-15 pointed at him by an Antifa member just before he accelerated.
Tyler Hill
>using proprietary software >getting angry when it doesn't respect your freedom Are y'all retarded? Get some FLOSS in your life lads, I bet y'all still be using Windows don't be suprised to get arrested before you even start protesting in the up and coming WWIII. Plebians
Its funny to, the right were bussed in protestors, and the antifa side were natives
Chase Robinson
Im glad ted cruz got to hassle zuck over that.
Jose Bennett
No, there are lots of rules IRL (laws) that distort the market.
Elijah Walker
>not hosting your own teamspeak server for ARMA 3
How plebian.
Chase Barnes
But the FBI is investigating the Philadelphia antifa's involvement, so that's a lie.
Jose Sanders
>ahead of bigger social media platforms like Twitter So censoring people you don't like is considered "progress" now? Fucking clown world we're living in.
Colton Morales
My friend forced me to join a gaming channel on Discord once and it was literally just people from the age of 10-30, posting swastikas and shitty "memes" for fun. If Discord considers this as some sort of threat.. then they have already lost. It's just people having fun on their free time.. it's not like they are planning the return of the fourth reich.
Gabriel Sullivan
More like they use white supremacy and hate speech to justify clamping down on places they don’t control.
Zachary Johnson
Since we killed God and declared nationalism evil.
Wyatt Reyes
>Philadelphia is Charlottesville And theyve jailed a number of righters, declared them terrorist But dont worry, im sure that investigation will emd as well as Hilary
Jason Carter
>company decides it doesn't want to matter any more
Bold move.
Kevin Long
here is another site that was made for "everyone" but really is a place for certain ideas and folks.
