This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Discord usually just uses some bullshit allegations when they feel like kicking accounts down

[–] backgroundcow@lemmy.world 38 points 1 day ago (2 children)

On this topic: I currently have installed on my phone and computer: slack, zoom, MSTeams, element, discord, Facebook messenger and signal to communicate in various projects and friends. What is this madness?!

[–] LH0ezVT@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Add telegram, threema, another matrix client for that other server and WhatsApp for some old friends to it

[–] NikkiDimes@lemmy.world 4 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

Can we throw in LINE and KakaoTalk for shits and giggles?

Same happened to me but with animal cruelty content or something. I tried to get the account back but turns out it was a "ban wave" so a lot of other people who got banned but were innocent were doing the same so discords services got overwhelmed by the appeals. Maybe they should have realized after that that this kinda banning is a horrible approach.

This is why people should be worried of using these massive services, luckily it was ‘only’ Discord (if this was your primary way to interact with friends, this can be a huge deal).

But imagine if it was your email account!

Getting a reputable provider, self hosting or using a decentralized option is paramount for your own sanity.

Currently having problems with GMail I lost my old phone (2fA) and no device was logged in so i could not access steam and like everything that requires that old mail

And my phone provider or postal service is stupid because i could not get a replacement sim after multiple tries which normally works

Googles account recovery policy is basically:

  • 2fA
  • recovery email
  • create a new account x.x

I think the recovery mail option only gets unlocked after 6? months inactivity because ~3 months ago i did not have the option

Now after requesting a recovery i still have to wait a full month before they maybe send me a password reset to my moms mail

But steam support was nice. Managed to get the account by providing a product key i used a few months ago and was lucky enough not to have thrown the physical card away

Yea this is exactly why I don't use 2FA

If the password is like 64 characters randomly generated by Keepass, the 2FA doesn't matter.

[–] ArcaneSlime@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 day ago

This is what I do as well. A few services force 2fa though and also have 0 good options (let me use my flipper as a u2f through not chrome, ungoogled-chromium works, but damn), and for those I'm forced to use text.

While I'm here, anyone have a good chrome based browser that is private and can use serial ports for flashing meshtastic devices and u2f? Need android mainly because I have ungoogled-chromium on linux, but will take recs for linux too if there's a better one.

And I'm not looking forwards to the effort it is going to take to get my friends to migrate away from discord. It was hard enough to get them on discord in the first place.

[–] autonomoususer@lemmy.world 64 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Anon doesn't know, Discord fails to include a libre software license text file. We do not control it, anti-libre software.

That is kinda bullshit if they didn't even see the content.

[–] Arbiter@lemmy.world 63 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I mean, seeing as it’s a 4chan greentext there’s probably some very important information being left out.

[–] Ilovethebomb@lemm.ee 13 points 1 day ago

Entirely possible.

I created a Discord account so I could try Midjourney and my account got blocked within a few hours. I use a VPN most of the time, can't remember if I was with Discord so might have had the same IP as another user. Didn't bother to set up another account.

[–] Ganbat@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 1 day ago (2 children)

They block most VPNs outright.

[–] LogicalDrivel@sopuli.xyz 11 points 1 day ago

All the more reason to not use Discord imo.

[–] iamdefinitelyoverthirteen@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Mullvad works.

[–] Frog@lemmy.ca 41 points 1 day ago

Anon's big mistake was not being the President of the Gulf of America.

[–] Gullible@sh.itjust.works 32 points 1 day ago

Anon forgot to put their interpersonal relationships in a RAID array

[–] Devanismyname@lemmy.ca 1 points 19 hours ago (2 children)

Whats the draw of discord? I don't get why people go on there. It's boring af and you gotta talk with people while you play video games. I'll go on if I absolutely have to for a group, but I avoid if I can.

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 1 points 14 hours ago* (last edited 14 hours ago)

Whats the draw of discord?

Chat plus streaming as a freemium service that has its hooks in with the networking effect.

Probably the biggest draw of Discord is how many people use Discord. But past that, it fills a bunch of real time social media roles well.

As a case in point, I'm in a game of Pathfinder Kingmaker with friends, and Discord does a good job of letting players join virtually, sharing screens, rolling dice, keeping a log of the different chats, pinning the links to the Kingdom management files, and providing a search function to find historical info.

Its greentext. Its not real/true.

[–] Ganbat@lemmy.dbzer0.com 13 points 1 day ago (1 children)

And yet it is.

Can't say if this anon specifically had this happen, but there's plenty of proof of it happening.

[–] SharkAttak@kbin.melroy.org 12 points 1 day ago

So basically if you hate a community, you just gotta go there and post some no-no pics, and everything gets nuked? Great, I'm sure nobody will abuse this.
