I’m legitimately paranoid about this scenario, especially since I’m in a couple of ERP servers, and I was friends with ReploidRevo… yes THAT ReploidRevo, and never knew about what he did until after his downfall went viral. (Shocked the Hell out of me because he seemed so normal and on the up and up)
I mean, if you’re on 4chan…
This was my first thought.
Obviously did some shit then trying to gain sympathy like omg I was banned for being nice.
Whats the draw of discord? I don’t get why people go on there. It’s boring af and you gotta talk with people while you play video games. I’ll go on if I absolutely have to for a group, but I avoid if I can.
I have a Discord but I hear a lot about how easily you can get banned, largely on the whims of the people running a single server, so I’ve always been a bit reluctant to use it.
Also, I find it genuinely disturbing how much information all these companies have about you and your stuff.
Discord usually just uses some bullshit allegations when they feel like kicking accounts down
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.
This, the second you aren’t profitable, they put you in the modern day version of solitary confinement.
And as Reddit has shown they will shut you down for expressing any political opinion they don’t like.
They’re banning people for upvoting now lol
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.
There was that man who was all in on Google.
He had a telemedicine appointment for his son who had a problem with his penis. Dr asked him to send a close-up photo so he could diagnose the skin condition
So the guy takes the photo with his pixel phone and sends it
The phone automatically backs up the photo
Google’s AI says it’s child porn, his account is deleted and police are contacted
Police look into it and say “not porn, totally fine” but have to go to his house to tell him the was no problem because his phone was Google, his internet was Google fibre, his email was Gmail and his photo album was on Google and all that was irrevocably deleted
That’s insane
Yep. Guy had his life pretty much ruined. Don’t tether your life to a company — that don’t care about you, they have no duty toward you
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.
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.
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?
When are you turning yourself in for associating with that one pedophile by existing in the same country?
My point is that it’s very naïve to assume that everyone in a given server knows what one person potentially posted once, especially the large servers.
Of course it’s possible they knew, but assuming by default that they had to have known is stupid.
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?
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
Just because they’re part of the server doesn’t mean they knew it was there.
Anon’s big mistake was not being the President of the Gulf of America.
Anon forgot to put their interpersonal relationships in a RAID array
gosh, that makes me feel really nervous
Same! Perhaps I should prune my Discord servers
I’m worried that for reporting all those servers and people, I will get a permaban as a thank you.
This doesn’t sound “user friendly” at all to me
