Isn't discord a way to harvest IP addresses?

MightyYetGentle1488 ago

Discord may harvest IP's just like every single other service on the planet but people who start servers can not. At this point in time, with a company that has 25 million users daily, i would trust it over the security of voat. Especially considering the admin changes, the new coders implemented, and the new found confidence of SBBH users in regards to the admins giving them the green-light to curate the site and turn it into reddit.

I'm not a nerd so i don't know much, but i know that as server admin i can't get anyone's IP. the room has been around for almost a month now and there hasn't been a single alarming instance. The worst you have to watch out for is BeatlejuiceX3 joining and trying to send you phishing links and scat porn, but that hasnt happened in over 2 weeks, and you can manually disable PM's from anyone not on your PM list.

Don't let the shills prevent you from connecting to other voaters.

To be fair, I can connect here on Voat. I would prefer any alternatives to be more robust and decentralized than these silo systems.

decentralized platform - this is ultimately what it's going to require to preserve the pizzagate truth movement.. no matter where we gather, there is always either a) oversight or b) lack of actual server decentralization - these are the two things pizzagaters have been calling for repeatedly here, in the past 4 mos. i've been on voat, but an actual alternative like this hasn't come about yet.. altho i hear one is in the works and frankly can't come soon enough..

i've made some great connections on voat in the pg sub but over the past few months large groups of folks have left to try to establish better communities.. not to mention the fact that we have over 30 pizzagate subs... we all need to get together on the new platform and establish the entire community (not leaving voat behind or abandoning it, but it will never survive long-term as the only central home for the pg truthers).. hopefully the decentralized location will be up and running in the next month or so.. and we can all re-gather there while still being able to spread the word across the rest of the traditional platforms like voat, gab, etc.

i do think regardless of where any of us go to discuss pizzagate, whether here on voat, on discord or any other chat, etc. - we should all be using as many proven privacy tools as possible.
