Wayland and audio is fixed, but only on the canary branch for the moment, this isnt lazy either, they changed the whole screenshare flow to suit linux’s permission prompts

Which got worse? Feel free to show me an example. I’ll try to investigate and find out its merits.
It must be said that that site also considers browsers like Firefox and Vivaldi to be at a high level of being spyware. I think it’s important to understand that Discord doesn’t do things much differently than other platforms, other than not having any 3rd party ads.
You sound exactly like a bad actor. If you open and read the website you would know why Firefox it’s listed

(emphasis mine). Ah yes, another blog by a user that thinks everything revolves around their experience.
I would love to act in good faith, but you’re not making it easy linking this drivel. Because I don’t want to make you feel like I’m fishing for sources, let me expand some points in the original link to talk about:
Ah yes, very scary. Connecting your account with other platforms to show your profile.
The “advertising” in question:
Usually this is a server (community) - side setting, but Discord also forces it when they think you are a spammer or malicious actor. Pretending it’s to collect phone number is a bit out there. Also, 2FA has been a thing since forever.
Lastly, there’s probably the argument of selling our personal data:
This is a legal document that they will get in trouble for if they were lying. They’ve already been fined hundreds of thousands of euros for GDPR violations but that curiously did not include a fine for “took people’s personal information and then sold them without consent whilst explicitly saying they didn’t do that”
Discord further has no third party advertisements which they can use to “sell” your data by allowing those advertisements to target you.
You are here on lemmy on a linux sub trying to defend a proprietary company who makes billions stealing kids data. Take a break and think about what you are doing with your life.

There are plenty of legit things to get upset about. Malicious bots, prolific scams, CSAM, customer support having an abysmal rep, and that’s not even talking about how foundationally incompatible Discord is with FOSS.
So no, I’m not here to defend a proprietary company. I’m here to address the pointless fear mongering that distracts from the real issues.
Did you actually read anything or are you just set to rage mode?
And then your blogger proceeds to use it as a cited source, my goodness.
Yes, did you? They are trying to claim something as stupid as that discord doesn’t sell your data.
Burden of proof is on you, to show an instance of Discord going against its ToS and selling data.
Only thing I could find: https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2024/04/billions-of-public-discord-messages-may-be-sold-through-a-scraping-service/#comments where are 3rd party bot might scrape data to then sell… which is an issue even for lemmy?
ask Jason Citron
So you’ve got nothing but hysterics 😂
