HOW HARD CAN ONE PROGRAM DATAMINE?

I don't even think the biggest normalfags on the planet have just an iPad and no computer. Your friend is somehow beyond that of some of the biggest normalfags on the planet

you can tell your client to log x many lines. thats about it i believe.

Weapon and map preferences, average player ages and attention span, rate of microtransactions among players, information regarding complaints about ingame ads, good goy status, etc.

I like to assume they start with the most heavily populated/known servers with that kind of shit.
For example, shadchat is fucking huge and they (discord and buyers) probably focus a notable amount of attention there, as opposed to shit filled with 12 people tops, who could give two shits about good goy status.
I'm not saying they're not collecting everything from everybody, but its a matter of limited resources and priorities making some things fall through the cracks in a system.

Discord had such a massive explosion of shilling that things like tox or mumble just seemed to vanish into the background.

he's a poorfag and his computer broke

Free, an idiot could set of a server, easy to read to post and read in chat. EMJOIS AND CUSTOM MEMES.

Nothing else at the time stood a chance really.

Literally how is that info any different to match stats for Overwatch though?

It lets the developers integrate it into their game.

Let me phrase it this way: Would you find it acceptable to log into the internet with your SSN number as Koreans do, always having accountability for every post you make and every site you visit?

No, of course not. And this is the way Discord is going for gaming: It boasts Twitch and Steam integration, and its encouraging more proactive use by developers, too. It even has wiki applets and widgets so your favorite Wikia or Gamepedia (now powered by Curse Twitch!) integrated it too.

It really did just pop up out of nowhere. That alone raises suspicions.

I guess it is true what they say about a fool and his money

but none of that information is required to use the service, and if they try to automatically attach the discord profile dicksucker1 to steam profile dicksucker1, you'd get a lot of shit from people who got attached to shit they don't own. These things don't touch unless you let them.

It has for years. You never heard of bouncers?

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BNC_(software)

these look bretty good, thanks m8

Okay, and then what will you do when games offer bonuses to people that provide Twitch or Discord profiles with their account? It's a slippery slope andi t's well on its way

Integrate what, though?

My reading of the OP was that it just lets Discord show the info that the game sends to it on your Discord profile.

Like, your most played Overwatch hero for example, or your rank, so you don't have to go in game to see somebody's Overwatch info.

whats worse,
discord or steam?

...

I imagine Discord because it outright says in their privacy policy that they may be allowed to sell your data to advertisers. It's why Discord is free

The only reason I would say Steam is better is because Steam is funded by game companies through publishing deals and first party sales. They don't need your data to sell. Discord is free, so they do.

well, it offers a not-paid service, somehow they have to make money
Since I'm not a gommunist, it's fine that it's paid somehow

Damn. No wonder this bitch has board dedicated to her.

Back to freech you go, pajeet.

haha agreed my fellow organic and totally legit anonymous poster ;^)

...

Get the fuck out on cuckchan.

Freech is dead, whitey.

Snark is the final defense of the 8gag zealot.

haha you caught me my dude clearly the negroid is the superior race way to go my fellow legit user of slash vee slash

sorry Jim Cherney, I love your fine ladies

Reported.

oh fuck please no im sorry how do i delete my post

Holy shit get out.

Reported for bullying other users. Read the rules next time, bully

have you heard of a little thing called an "IP address" because for datamining purposes that's more than enough to glue those accounts together

I would rather be datamined by Jim than being datamined by the US government agencies.

Oh hi Jim, enjoying what i am masturbating on?

But user, Jim IS the Yoo Ess government! My friends over on Freech told me so! don't give that faggot more shitposting fuel tbh

Would jim really do bad things?

Even if he wanted to, he doesn't have enough computer for it.

The very old iPad2 is genuinely a great PDA. Too bad the niggified culture of technology only allows for shitty flappy bird clones when you could do plenty of work related shit with that thing.

The worst privacy breach that can happen to you on imageboards is for jews to learn that while you praising hitler on Holla Forums, you also posting on /fur/ or masturbating to /shota/. And then someone bullies you for being a faggot nazi.

(((They))) are trying to discredit our glorious leader Jim Watkins. May his Pig Farm blossom and praise be upon him

Please nigger, I'm masking my identity behind Google Chromes Incognito mode.

okay shekelberg you've had your fun I'm uninstalling this spyware

You should fucking kill him with a mallet.

Are you implying that thing is attractive?

As a cocksleeve.

I wouldn't put my cock anywhere near that.

sell ipad,fix computer

Has anyone tried to reverse engineer Discord and make a new client? I'm only interested in it because all my normalfag friends won't use anything fucking else and have it installed on my cucked desktop.

Replacements to discord:
-Mumble
-Tox
-Riot.im
-IRC
-RetroShare
and some others that I don't remember. Overall, Riot.im could be what you are looking for. It is a client for matrix.org/. It has voice chat, multiple channels can be made, variety of settings, etc. Probably the closest system you can get to Discord.

I'm not talking about a replacement for the entire thing but rather a replacement for the client and fooling the discord servers that it's a genuine discord client. I would love to tell them to fuck off to IRC or Riot but they wouldn't do it. It would be fantastic since you'll be able to have your cake (in the fact that you're using their services) and eat it too (by avoiding a lot of the datamining shit for simply not using their client).

ask Holla Forums to do this

...

The best I've found so far is betterdiscord but it looks like a simple plugin that actually modified discord in anyway. It's something to consider, possibly someone could find a way to write a plugin to disable/cut out all the datamining shit (although I'm sure it would both break upon every update and the pajeets will be right on breaking that as much as possible).

There is already stuff to interface with it like this github.com/bwmarrin/discordgo
Discord offers an API and an official bot, making a client shouldn't be too hard
github.com/discordapp/discord-api-docs
github.com/discordapp/airhornbot

...

It does make me wonder why anyone hasn't tried yet if that's the case. I'll have to look into it a bit more myself.

This claims to be a client, no longer supported tho
github.com/jonas747/discorder

...

...

You know, I keep hearing about Discord and still have no idea what the fuck it is.

Is it just a Skype thing? Why the fuck does everyone lose their minds over it?

She knows how to cook.

It's free and most of the time works a hell of a lot better than programs like teamspeak or ventrillo ever did, in addition to have many more functions that make it into a pseudo chat room.

That's what happens when you share your name with a popular movie, a few thousand other businesses and a well defined dictionary term.

That's it? Just a less shitty TS and IRC? This has given them a monopoly?

Fucking christ this world is stupid.

talking about discord

It's easy to become popular when you have twitch and youtube shills shoveling shit down their viewer's throats.
Why else do you think pubg or xcom2 got popular? It sure as shit isn't because they provided a high quality product.

fuck off grandpa

Ah yes, of course. I'd forgotten about "influencers".

...

I never said I'm for Discord.
But defending IRC in 2017 is a senile position when it lacks so many now-fundamental functions.

Well, after installing and doing some tests with riot.im it doesn't seem too bad, but I'm not jumping ship just yet. I'm not too sure of how well the voice would work, compared to discord's persistent dedicated voice channels, because I'm doing this by myself when everyone else i know is asleep.

Yeah, discord is more like fb which makes it so much better

...

I do enjoy xdcc, though.

are you some sort of hacker?

What the fuck is missing? not to say that IRC isn't terrible, but mostly because of server-side voodoo and vulnerabilities

Makes me wonder if Jim is going to double-down in datamining as well.

Sending pics, at the very least (and showing embeds so I don't have to check every fucking youtube link, although that's more of an opinion and is toggable).
The ability to send files without fuckery like audio and webms is also a plus, although optional.

Of course. I hope you enjoyed your dubs.

Boy, do I love posting about video games and not sperging out over chat rooms made for normalfags!

Hello Holla Forums

>>>Holla Forums

I really need a non jewed alternative so they will shut the fuck up about this fucking discord.
Alas, I doubt there are any.

This thread reminded me to stop being a faggot.

...

...

Does this affect the web version of it? I don't see any such games played list on profiles when I use the web version, but I do see what people are playing currently.

top kek
Boh spy on you, so use discord, it's better

Well the entire thread can be summed in that reply, there was no point in writing other replies
I use telgram as a general text chat and discord as a voice chat, I don't know why people are suggesting IRC as a replacement for discord
The only real competitor is Teamspeak, but even if it's pisseasy to host a server, no one wants to do that (mainly because of datacaps if burger or shitty speeds)
Also you can upload pics directly to discord and that's useful (at least for me)

It's pretty useful for drawfags discords, if you don't mind sharing your sanic porn to tencent.

Discord is obviously the best thing available right now. Comparing it to shit like mumble is ridiculous because discord is essentially a social network. People use discord as a default for online chatting now outside of video games. normalfags use it like they would facebook.

I'm by no means shilling for it and have uninstalled it myself and always despised it for being botnet. But the reality is that it is going to continue to dominate the scene and get bigger every single day because of how unbelievably accessible it is. Being able to paste a link into chat and have someone click and be instantly in VOIP with you without having to install a single program is going to guarantee that it becomes the staple for online voice communication for a very long time. Which is quite depressing.

Both Skike and Memecord are bloated pieces of crap that spy on you, neither is better.
Unless you prefer to be spied on by one company rather than the other.

...

discord isn't actually that bloated.

That being said there's an open sourced alternative called riot.im

Discord used the PUBGAH style of marketting where "all your friends use/play it, why don't you?"

Literally everyday normalfag "gamers" I have the displeasure of working with want to me to buy and play pubguh with them, and a few hours don't go by before I see a discord link get posted, even here. Unless there is a decent third party client I'm not touching suhc a shady product

user, I…

...

I guess diana didn't suck dicks so good.

haha, oh wow

I get a majority (including you it seems) of Holla Forums forgets sah-gey is to be used to not bump a thread the poster thinks is shit and instead sees it as something from reddit because that's all you know

please keep replying to me user

ive never run discord before but why cant i run this shit in sandboxie

you can but it will be somewhat limited and take years to start
running it in a sandbox also doesnt really prevent it from spying on you

If you're trying to run it in sandbox that's not protecting your privacies. They just glean through all messages, pictures and whatever else you put on the chat and sell that information. If you are using Discord, you are giving them info.

Whats the problem here? this is pretty much public information on your in-game profile IF the game devs acctually give discord the info they need.

i seriously see no downsides to this

Nigga if you took my post as shilling for discord you are retarded. I was simply stating as to why it got as popular as it is.

>This, its just (((IRC))) for normalfags
Are you retarded? Allowing chats with (in the case of IRC customizable) readback is the only thing they have in common

...

I'm so lonely

Okay, you're gonna have to explain this shit to me. Non-local accounts? Robot check? How is this in any way decentralized or any better than Discord?

matrix.org/
matrix.org/docs/projects/try-matrix-now.html
github.com/vector-im/riot-web/issues/3606

Daily reminder the only reason discord caught on is normalfags cried about shit in skype that was a literal non-issue you're fooling yourself if you think normalfags cared about the data mining, it was just some ads and their toasters and got handed a replacement on a silver platter.

What, spycam access and always-on microphones?

>>>/suicide/

>Can't talk in voice for days at a time because of perpetual connection issues to only discord's servers that arise for no reason and are alleviated for no reason

This is hell and I don't know what I did to deserve it.

Shouldn't have caved, you fag.

Learn to have no regrets.
I left my like serious roleplay game branch development community with "well fuck you" attitude, so i give not a single fuck about leaving place full of snowflakes, lazy developers, hiatus and admin's espionage and thus - no desire to come back. Fuck them to very soul. Users i liked were banned anyway.
