Just think, the next data breach will now include your government issued ID!
Does anyone have that sweet gif of Ms. Rachel and Mamdani?
Honestly just save it to your phone, it’s needed on lemmy so much
Here’s a trick, save a comment of the gif, then you can copy the markup of the gif that’s already been uploaded
Set a keyboard shortcut to &rachelmamdani to replace that with the markup, and it’s at your fingertips!
Could even shorten it to &rm!
Oh, good. Hadn’t seen a Discord data breach article in a short while so was wondering if I’d slipped into a coma. All is normal.
I was worried that Discord became secure. I had nothing to worry about it seems.
Basically, it’s the worst Discord hack via a third-party service provider since the last Discord hack via a third-party service provider, which occurred almost a year to the day ago – spooky!
LOL wow that thing that everyone said would happen, happened. Again.
Plot twist, it’s a “rogue AI” doing data collection.
this time it’s copilot
Stop using Discord. Migrate to matrix https://joinmatrix.org/
If only matrix was as usable as discord I’m sure a lot of people would
It is. People just need to use an app that actually cares about good UI like Cinny/Sable. Element is trash.
Sable has every feature I could want and then some
Seconded on Sable.
It is more than usuable though, my only issue with it is the lack of communities other than that both apps and servers are pretty reliable imo
Stoat chat seems pretty decent open source alternative to Discord, tried it for a while and has similar usability, but same issue, “nobody uses it”, also development has been very slow.
I tried stoat, but I couldn’t create the same community that I had on Discord that I had set up, so I haven’t tried to move everything there. Honestly, if there was a Discord alternative that functioned similar, I would move there tomorrow, but there really isn’t. And there’s no easy way to mirror the content from Discord to the other place so people can see the activity.
Yeah stoat looks very promising!
I’ve been liking stoat, I only really used discord to communicate with my friends and luckily they were nice enough to humour me with making an account, so now stoats pretty much all I use, even if my friends are still using discord on the side
It sometimes takes an eternity or two to decrypt my messages, making me really want to agree here.
Firstly, it already is. It depends on what client you use.
Secondly, no they wouldn’t. Even when all the work is done for them, nobody moves because nobody cares even when they say they do.
Unless it’s changed substantially in the last few months, it really isn’t. I tried half a dozen different clients, from the bog standard to the bleeding edge and all of them seemed to implement features unevenly or not at all.
There’s points of friction that just make it worse to use, which isn’t something I can sell most of my friends on. Fluxer seems like a far better option for a 1:1 experience.
Happy with Fluxer. :)
I’ll consider it once its been federated. Otherwise its just jumping from one basket to another basket
Thank god everyone was kept safe by this…
Discord is less a messaging platform these days as just like an open source data aggregation service for cyber criminals. It’s like they have a huge data leak every 6 months or so.
Again?
And yet Discord still blocks using anonaddy addresses to sign up.
Now lets start adding in present day photos (for the children only, gotta keep them safe! oh and they must be in swimwear for extra security).
Deleted my Discord a long time ago since I rarely used it, the only thing that sucks is when trying to do game jams with others it’s the only option, so I haven’t been able to do any…
But still this is better than having Discord.What about Stoat?
idk, I only see discord links when checking game jam community pages, and since I don’t have a need for a chat app I’ve never investigated any alternatives
Double Counter essentially acts as a bouncer bot for Discord servers
If you give a Discord Bot sensitive data, I’m sorry but you’re clearly the issue. Bots are software, you (hopefully) wouldn’t download a random piece of software from an untrusted souce and give it access to your sensitive data and you should apply the same level of caution when it comes to Discord Bots too.
You are victim blaming. Should they have been more cautions with handing over their data, yes. But the fact that they have to, is representative of the bad state of society. It is the fault of the company, people or systems that where trusted by the communities to properly protect it against evil actors. If they cannot protect that data, they shouldn’t have gathered it in the first place. And for that they should get punished properly and should recompense all victims. They should no longer be in business.
Civilization is built on trust, and if that trust erodes, civilization does too.
Correct, and the biggest erosion of trust is coming. It’ll definitely be something.
I always hated how invasive double counter was. Besides being a bouncer it’s also been used a stalking tool to find out peoples alt accounts and harass them.
