PROVE Discord is a BOTNET

what's the point, gramps?

the point was that you have the understanding of a 10yo
i for sure thought u got it with my previous post, i guess i overestimated your capabilities

what in my first post would suggest that i have the understanding of a 10yo?

This, they literally tell you that they spy on you in them.

well u know the words "burden of proof", that makes you >5yo
but you dont understand what it is or where it applies so obv

guilty until proven innocent. are you a discord shill or something?

You can go back to start of channel conversation, they keep all messages youve received

op is not claiming they're innocent

it's made by boomers

i never claimed op claimed they're innocent.

then why tell him he needs to prove their innocence?

because op tells us to prove their guilt

doesn't matter. its cringy as hell for le epic gamer retards

and we come to the crux of it
what's wrong with asking that? nothing
shouting "BURDEN OF PROF LOL DISCORD IS EVL", is
it just makes you sound like a 10yo

discordapp.com/privacy

like i said; burden of proof is on him. guilty until proven otherwise, sweetie. i hope they pay you well for this shilling.

By BOOMERS for ZOOMERS.

All free software products from venture capital backed companies are botnets. How the fuck else do you think they plan to make money?

he merely asked for proof
he didnt say "discord is innocent unless you prove it's not"
he has nothing to prove
this your junior high debate club

this ISNT your junior high debate club
my bad

>he merely asked for proof
as did i, sweetie. prove it's not a botnet.

there's a difference between asking for proof and citing burden of proof
nice strawman lad

I swear gamers are the biggest group of retards. They are totally okay with getting fucked up the ass by microtransactions, spyware chat services, overpriced games.

Well Jow Forums is flaunting over who got better overpriced hardware while using American website with google botnet integrated in it.

Prove Jow Forums isn't a botnet

Please refrain using the term "free software" for classifying software that doesn't have a free license.

I know it's my fault but it's funny that fucking Discord has stricter security than my fucking bank

Good point.

They take a month to send you your personal data because they have to strip out the incriminating data collection proof by hand.

it is

This, and lack of available source code

>centralized chat application
PROVE to me it's not

My good sir I meant free as in beer, not free as in freedom. The context was crystal clear.

>make awesome software
>gather data to make the software better
>your users think you're part of the illuminati

Discord should be put in the spam filter like the names of reddit and any other chans are.

>cloud based chat application
You don't need source code to realize it's spying on you.

I think the real question is: When are we getting a decentralized, libre, open source alternative to Discord? Can IRC even be updated to support as many features as Discord?

closed source is sufficient to prove it is

.01 credits have been deposited to you discord hype team account

How do they make money then

This. To Jow Forums anything closed source is immediately botnet. Even closed source software that existed before the internet.

this
read their TOS, they say they are in it...

why use it anyway when you can get the same features on nearly everything else?
even steam has implemented all of the discord features, including short url to chat room.

They say it

>implying steam isn't just as much of a botnet

sure it is, but why run 2 when you can just run 1?

>run
How about you start with uninstalling the client and use the web app? What makes discord so good is that you DON'T NEED TO INSTALL ANYTHING and it all works right in your browser. By installing the client you willingly let it spy on you.

Closed source.
Can't host your own server (no the "server" you "own" is not actually yours).
Entire application, desktop and browser, is a bloated, laggy piece of electron shit.

There is no such thing as a desktop app, only a browser web app and a browser web app with additional spying.

I wish Steam updated the desktop client once and for all. Only the webpage has the new UI for me.

They don't release the source code.
Anything that doesn't release the source code is automatically considered a botnet.

They spy on you even in the browser version senpai.

>Can't host your own server

This is my biggest gripe, I like the features of Discord but I wish it was like the old days when all the shit was hosted locally, I don't wanna give my fuckin conversations to a third party, I have a hard drive, let me use it.

Only what you type, which is standard for every chat service. The client has additional access to sensitive parts of OS memory such as the processes list which implies access to the kernel.
>giving the botnet kernel access

I don't use discord, but only a fucking idiot would use the web instead of the program itself.. web version is garbage and useless.

>he doesn't use beta version

retard

Not him but the desktop app is fucking garbage, takes like 3 times as much memory as just having a browser tab open and provides no extra benefits.

If software does not release its source code it should be presumed to be malware.

How so? I can chat with both text and voice in the browser version and they get nothing else beyond what I type and say. How is that worse than giving them access to sensitive parts of kernel memory with no useful features in return?

That lack of source is the indication instead

>can't voice chat in browser while in literally any game

wow

What the fuck are you talking about? You can't push-to-talk but you can leave the mic open no problem, and just alt-tab if you wanna mute it.

>not using push to talk
thread filled with degenerates

>using push-to-talk while talking to friends

Alternatively.

>voice chat with strangers on an app that probably stores your conversations
>calling anyone a degenerate

>he doesn't listen to music or watch anime

May not be a botnet. It is however a free service. Therefore, you are most likley the product being sold. Unless you are the "I dun care bout muh privacy" faggots, then you should not use it.

Also, actually read the ToS and Privacy Policy fully before using any "Free" warez.

>he listens to music and watches anime while talking with friends and on his fucking speakers.

>using discord
only degenerates use that. It was clearly stated people shouldn't use it since every other program can do what it can do.

I use it because my friends use it, wouldn't if I could.

I use the chat feature available in league of legends. Is that a botnet?

If you have to ask the answer is yes.

>closed source
>not a botnet
hard logic I know

How much the League of Legends client spy on you?

most autistic chain of posts i've ever seen on this fucking board
two retards going at it

>literally does not let you delete an account

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evidence_of_absence#Proof_and_evidence

Facebook does the same.

Why you think it's for gayumz only?

This thread fucking sucks. It should have had exactly one reply that went like this:
>spyware.neocities.org/articles/discord.html
>/thread

Article starts with
>A big thanks to Richard Stallman
Loses all credibility

It makes you force others, usually your friends, to install discord on their computers too, causing one huge botnet.

>install discord
web browser

Richard Stallman does literally nothing but talk about why things are botnets now. If anyone is credible regarding this shit, it's him.

Is there a way to stop it's tracking? All my friends use it, I don't want to opt out of contact with them.

Alternatively, does it only tracks you when you're logged on?

leave

It's literally marketed for gaymers
