is there anyway to use this fucking thing without it storing every single thing thats happening on my PC and selling it to chinese business men who want nothing but to sell me their chinese MMOs?
basically…how do i use it without the ton of tracking in the ToS?
This is why I don't own any devices with microphones.

If you want free shit, you'll have to serve as a comodity. Complaining that people are making money over you using a free service is akin to a baby crying. That being said, buy a trash PC, use only fake accounts on it. This is now your trash-life hub. Including for browsing Holla Forums or any other degenerate site you want. On your gaming/main pc you take matters more seriously and try to keep a upstanding citizen persona, even if you are not active in social media sites (good grief), just to be safe. This is the PC that will use any accounts that can be traced to you via credit card, shipping address, etc…
If you are not paying for a service, you are the merchandise, stop pretending there's a way to get free shit and avoid datamining altogether

What of FOSS options like Tox?
Brandon Thompson
I'm glad all my data is just being run through cold uncaring machines that just match keywords to advertise stuff. That being said I can't imagine anyone on Holla Forums isn't on some kind of watchlist.

USE TOX MOTHERFUCKER
Anthony Flores
Disconnect your PC from the internet and talk to people outside
Ethan Richardson
just don't fucking use it
Eli Hernandez
People outside are nothing but faggots and retards.
Jacob Sullivan
The answer is to uninstall and delete your account.

So like Discord?
Zachary Brooks
Self-host a discord server (i.e not a channel of their servers) where you can both verify that the server software does not collect unwanted data and that it can be purged safely, then tell your friends to connect to it. But you can't.
Brody Richardson
Britbong here. I've been told on no uncertain terms that I'm on a watchlist due to research on homemade explosives and firearms.
So I use a similar piece of software on my phone that's geared towards developers, but it serves much the same purpose as Discord for me because I really don't enjoy voice chat.
Jackson Bailey
Tox is peer-to-peer so you aren't using someone else's server.
Adrian Young
Using a VPN is pretty suspicious and will draw unwarranted attention to anyone using one.
Brandon Richardson
Are you retarded
Alexander Kelly
Uninstall it, and use something else. Such as Tox.
Zachary Nguyen
Don't use that trash, it's spyware to the highest tier. Luckily there are good alternatives: irc, matrix, mumble for voice
Jeremiah Hall
qtox is clearly superior fight me faggots
Brandon Gonzalez
Not really. They'll just think you're torrenting shit.
Jayden Wilson
my fucking mouth is an instant messenger you sperg. Nothing wrong with the concept, the issue is that only free shit that catalogs everything you do ever catches on.
Liam Carter
The key is to be so worthless that advertisers can't sell anything to you.
Go ahead Discord, sell my data to marketing companies. They will never get a dime from me.
Logan Bell
ok i downloaded Tox how do i make my voice clearer in group chats? since my internet is so shit.
Aiden Walker
Daily reminder Mark stopped advertising the v mumble in favor of a discord.
Landon Hill
You don't, you just downloaded spyware. Enjoy your CP Trojans. You made mustard gas.
Anthony Martinez
Goons will defend this.
Gabriel Hill
here's your (you)
Hunter Wilson
didnt he switch back to mumble later? inb4 mark starts shilling for tox as well
check the options, also has greentext and other text format options seems like most of Holla Forums has tox it seems, much to my surprise although one half are the volafags and the other half are the /radcorp/ dudes

Kayden Hughes
No, he doubled down on being anti-mumble by claiming it's full of goons. He then went back to being pro-discord earlier this year.
Brandon Sullivan
jesus christ what a never ending story
James Gonzalez
These, IRC isn't nearly as bloated as it should be. Did you know IRC doesn't even have an official client? What a joke.
Ian Smith
What about Curse, which was now combined with Twitch a while ago? My friend had me start using Curse before it was acquired by twitch. It does exactly the same things as Discord only it's not Discord. is there any proof of Curse/Twitch being as bad as or worse then Discord. I mean Twitch is a bigger company so that's reason enough to be wary of them. I'm just wondering if there is anything specific.
