THE OFFICIAL VOAT DISCORD (ProtectVoat)
submitted 8 years ago by Crensch
... is likely a NetSec trap and is being pushed by unsavory types. Don't click on any discord link from here.
@frogbait is pushing it on chat, atm. Every username pushing one should be considered suspect, IMO.

Is there an official discord?
Crensch 8 years ago
No. That's how they're presenting it, though.
How could clicking on the link give away information?

They can't. Crensch is being dishonest. Discord is in no way more secure than voat, both platforms are only as secure as their ownership is ethical.
Putt could screw us, Discord owners could screw us, but beyond that they're identical in terms of security.
Figured as much. He's been fear mongering for a while. Doesn't discord handle all the back end stuff, not the admins?
Yep. Server owners aren't given the keys to the castle. They don't get to spy on everyone that joins, as Crensch is trying to imply.
I don't understand why he's trying so hard to kill the idea, personally. He didn't even make use of the voat chat feature until today.
Again, he's a fear monger. It doesn't surprise me that he's doing it. I like discord than ircs personally.
1) can tell discord where you clicked the link from
2) gives discord any connection information
3) I posted where discord lied about being concerned about security, not really a good start
4) No idea what others with code/program can glean from you joining their chat.
5) cross-pollination of your internet fingerprint

you are forgetting the part where channel owners dont have access to any of that information. Intentionally forgetting.
I'm not forgetting shit. Just because you wouldn't have access to that information doesn't mean there's not a way for people to get it, and still doesn't address the employees of discord.
Fucking kike.
