Discord is a wildly popular voice and text messaging platform with >150 million monthly users. Many people use it as their primary messenger. But should they?
Discord is not meant to be a private messenger. And you really shouldn’t use it as one!
I’m a bit confused at the article. Do people use Discord for things other than casual chit chat? Please don’t tell me there are businesses working on Discord.
For the average user, I don’t see issue with these things. It’s a chat app and it’s not that deep.
There actually are businesses, schools and more using Discord for their communications. Some people also use it as their primary messaging app and that really shouldn’t be the case. For anything nonsensitive, it’s not that big a deal. I would still recommend checking out privacy respecting alternatives like the end-to-end encrypted client Element that uses the Matrix protocol
There are businesses that use DISCORD for professional communication?? I believe you but that seems ridiculous. There are so so so many issues when it comes to what’s recorded, document retention, security, privacy. Maybe you discuss a court case on Teams or Slack or…ha…discord apparently…they can subpoena that as record. The software companies use has to be compliant on all of these areas. Crazy.
We meet again :) And we even agree on this, too! Yeah, it’s madness. I know that it’s a stereo type that people don’t read TOS, T&C and privacy policies but when you have a product like Discord that is free one should realize that something’s not right.

There are businesses coming in. I found it from gaming. We used Teamspeak at first but discord quickly became the meta.
It’s been a real ride and it’s great to see it evolve. However seeing big companies or the OF girls trying to capitalize kinda ruins the charm.
