I'm gonna be honest here, and I think I'm probably a minority, but I don't want a bay12 discord.

I feel like discord groups and forums are a little too similar and I worry that people will basically just migrate to the discord and leave the forum in the dust.

Anyone wanna share their thoughts? I see people make discord groups all the time and this Luddite wants to know, why?

There's a lot of Bay12 discords, but no single one for everything. I'm in a bunch of them, if you want invites.

I for one see no point in Discord when we have this forum. What does Discord even have that this forum doesn't?

Real-time posting without having to refresh the page.

I also imagine the Great Disorder doesn’t exist on it.

Exactly, and it doesn't have a bunch of things that forums have.
From my understanding, it's a glorified chat program that takes screenshots of your screen and sells your info to the Chinese while lacking basic organizational features inherent to forums.
Regardless, i have so little interest in discord that i wouldn't use it even if i was paid to.

Nah, as per

I think anyone that actually likes it has already fucked off to Discord.
I just wish those people wouldn't expose the forum to their Chinese spyware too by posting images from Discord.
Privacy Badger by default blocks Discord's CDN for good reason. (It's a Chrome add-on, check it out. Also, i use Iridium, not Google Chrome.)

I note once again that I've never seen compelling evidence of Discord selling data, to the Chinese or otherwise, and if such evidence exists it would be basis for a strong lawsuit against Discord as they explicitly declare your data as not sold.




Inexplicably extreme hate for Discord aside, in the absence of an official Discord there are so many splinters it's just kind of a hassle. I use it a lot, just not for B12.

As I understand it, Discord's been working at a loss in order to build the userbase to sell off to someone else, per the clamor and crisis when headlines declared Microsoft was considering purchasing them (in reality, they were just one of several companies that expressed interest on the basis that Discord has value, as I recall).

As the suspicion goes, though, if a product is free, you are the product, yes? I wonder if Discord could cut that line from their terms and conditions and then retroactively sell off all the data they've harvested from users.

--

More on topic, there's a finite amount of community available at any given time and an exodus with Discord may disrupt the gentle coze that B12's been riding for years. Can't stop/won't stop/shouldn't stop the splinters of community that embark on their own, of course.
