I have no qualms about your getting banned for this.
You are who you associate with. For example: trump associates with Epstein. Should he not be banned from discord?
I still don’t understand the point of discord. I just deleted the app cause it was sooooo boring. The only social media I have is a perma banned reddit account (a few), snapchat (which I never use anymore as I have grown out of it and it has turned to absolute shit) and the lemmsters. Feeling good
This is one of the bigger reasons I don’t want to use social media controlled by a corporation, it means they can choose to cut me off from people at their discretion, which will probably be based on what is convenient and easy for them.
And as Reddit has shown they will shut you down for expressing any political opinion they don’t like.
Same happened to me but with animal cruelty content or something. I tried to get the account back but turns out it was a “ban wave” so a lot of other people who got banned but were innocent were doing the same so discords services got overwhelmed by the appeals. Maybe they should have realized after that that this kinda banning is a horrible approach.
This is why people should be worried of using these massive services, luckily it was ‘only’ Discord (if this was your primary way to interact with friends, this can be a huge deal).
But imagine if it was your email account!
Getting a reputable provider, self hosting or using a decentralized option is paramount for your own sanity.
I created a Discord account so I could try Midjourney and my account got blocked within a few hours. I use a VPN most of the time, can’t remember if I was with Discord so might have had the same IP as another user. Didn’t bother to set up another account.
They block most VPNs outright.
All the more reason to not use Discord imo.
This doesn’t sound “user friendly” at all to me
Anon forgot to put their interpersonal relationships in a RAID array
Anon’s big mistake was not being the President of the Gulf of America.
That is kinda bullshit if they didn’t even see the content.
Just because they didn’t participate doesn’t mean they didn’t know it was there.
Presumption of innocence is a thing, you know?
In 2020 some small servers (50-200 people per server) got cover banned with all their users, mostly for political talk, as far as I’m aware.
I, personally, usually join such small servers while looking for lobby members in older games, I have a couple of them muted except for channels dedicated specifically to game lobbies. If someone starts an “illegal” talk in any other channel on one of these, why should I be held liable? Or am I suddenly obligated to hunt for pipe bomb recipes in any server I join?
I don’t really know how to use Discord except by muting servers immediately after joining and probably never looking at them again
You know that some servers can have tens of thousands of people right?
What’s your point? That personal responsibly stops existing in a large group of people?
So, what you’re saying is, if someone on your Lemmy instance breaks the rules of another instance, your entire instance should be defederated, right?
Just because they’re part of the server doesn’t mean they knew it was there.
I’m worried that for reporting all those servers and people, I will get a permaban as a thank you.
gosh, that makes me feel really nervous
Same! Perhaps I should prune my Discord servers
Its greentext. Its not real/true.
Can’t say if this anon specifically had this happen, but there’s plenty of proof of it happening.
So basically if you hate a community, you just gotta go there and post some no-no pics, and everything gets nuked? Great, I’m sure nobody will abuse this.
