Not looking for anything in specific, I just feel like chatting about piracy in general.

In the words of Stringer Bell "Your not taking notes on a motherfucking conspiracy are you?"

I just got to that episode last night!

Discord hasn’t historically been kind to piracy communities. Servers on Discord often face sudden bans with no prior warning. So piracy communities on Discord are often pretty useless, because server rules (enacted to keep the server from getting deleted) will prevent users from sharing anything useful. They’re often akin to CrackWatch communities, which only announce when things are cracked, but refuse to actually link to the content.

Privacy community on discord 🤡

It says piracy not privacy. But also, we have privacy communities on lemmy which is fully indexed by google and all search engines making it technically less private than discord?

I'm not worried about public forum posts, I'm worried that 3rd parties are storing metadata on me and my devices in insecure databases.

Update: FMHY has their own discord, it's linked on their website.

[–] Unmitigated@leminal.space 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

correct me if wrong but considering discord's poor privacy policy is that really a solid recommendation?

[–] moosetwin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 year ago

Yes, I'd recommend it to OP.

If you go on any emulation centric server, even though everyone knows why everyone else is there, there is zero tolerance for any piracy discussion deeper than acknowledging that piracy exists.
