in today's episode of <inevitable corpo enshittification>, Discord wants to take away YOUR right to SUE THEM! (it applies to U.S. citizens only, see: https://www.polygon.com/2024/4/20/24134970/discord-arbitration-how-to-opt-out)

to the surprise of no one, Discord really went full circle from teeny tiny startup saying "we love our users" to becoming a cog in the evil corporativistic surveillance capitalist machine.

Discord wants to void your right to sue them — but you can opt out

A quick brief on the service’s new arbitration clause

^{Simone de Rochefort (Polygon)}

A reminder that #Discord is a lot less private than you might think.

A site literally called 'Spy.pet' claims to have scraped billions of public Discord messages and wants to sell them

It's an unfortunate reminder not to say things on Discord servers that you wouldn't want repeated elsewhere.

^{Ted Litchfield (PC Gamer)}

Fill in the blank with any open source group. Not picking on Mastodon, just using as an example.

Mastodon has used Discord since at least 2018. I found essential tidbits about how featured profiles originated for an article I wrote - that information did not exist anywhere else.

All of that history will be lost if / when they move somewhere else.

I wish there was more use of self-hosted forums, but I get the enticement of real time chat.

If you use Discord, you might wanna know this.

A service called Spy Pet is scraping Discord servers, archiving and tracking users' messages and activity, and then selling access to that data.

Spy Pet scrapes more than 10,000 Discord servers, and besides selling access to anyone with cryptocurrency, it offers the data for training AI models or to assist law enforcement agencies, according to its website.

Spy Pet claims to be tracking more than 14,000 servers, 600 million users, and includes a database of more than 3 billion messages.

Is #Discord succumbing to #enshittification? Time and again, I am tormented by this question. My answer, in a word, is, "Yes, I think so, but I don't know how it all comes together." That's thirteen words. Writing everything down, I still don't have an answer. The long and short of it, as always, is not 'if,' but 'when;' I'm stuck in If, knowing I need a bus to get to When, but the timetable changes every time I look.
