When I need to check something on Discord I do it with a browser anyway, I tried installing it on linux but every time I would run it I would get a demand to manually install a new binary because there was an update, and I don’t want it having that level of access to my computer anyway.
It used to do that for one of my devices, but it has since stopped, no idea what to say to the access though.
I’d recommend Stoat because they won’t rape you for all the personal data they can.
I’d recommend Fluxer over Stoat. Seems to be gaining more users and traction in a fraction of Stoat’s time.
fluxer.lemmy.world is still returning a 404
then where’s stoat.sdf.org? 🤣
The lights are barely kept on for our Lemmy instance, I don’t expect a Stoat server anytime soon…
Then maybe they should take a massive bankloan🤣😂
discord and twitter…
If they enjoy discord, they are likely okay with Twitter. At best you would see Discord on Bluesky.
bluesky aka blue twitter
Can’t wait to see how this will result in another massive leak of personal data that they totally don’t retain.
too little, too late
I haven’t used discord for a couple of years. got an email yesterday informing me that unless I log in soon, my account will be deleted.
…oh no
I’m going to let them delete it, saves me having to
Why do something yourself when someone is more than willing to do it for you!
Wow and to think I could have gone without knowing that and that it would have had absolutely no impact on my life whatsoever. Crazy. Makes you think. About burritos or something. Certainly not about Discord on Linux though.
does screen share work on Wayland yet?
It does for my setup. I’m on a not too crazy install of Arch with KDE for my DE and I have discord installed with flatpak. It’s been at least 3 months with no issues for me.
I feel like it’s been working for almost 2 years at this point for me. The only issue I have is it shares all audio instead of just the application I’m sharing.
Who uses Linux thats still on discord ? Thats like non compat lol
Sometimes there isn’t a choice because others you’re in contact with prefer discord.
Not sure how you weren’t able to think this for yourself?
If you don’t support their choice to use discord, perhaps they will leave discord and go to something better. The same applies to twitter, instagram, facebook etc
“Not sure how you weren’t able to think this for yourself?”
Be the change

Well known for their intelligence, they wouldn’t make excuses for backing trash.
It’s how I stay in touch with friends. I use Vesktop. Flatpak. Removes the tracking
Some of the tracking. They still store your messages you send in plain text and who knows what they do with that!
TypeScript
damn. Gonna stick to slidcord until it gets fixed.
I found out the other week that its the only social media I have left. Except LinkedIn but in this economy…?
Anyway, its my most reliable way to talk to all of my friends and half my family, and I hate it. But hey, at least its not Facebook.
I run fedora for my main pc, cachyos on my laptop and ubuntu server for the home server PC - for the Linux street cred.
Is that irony, and/or are the likes ironic? This is social media.
I hate to say it but Lemmy is also social media.
wait until u find how many distros + libre software use pisscorp
