May the perfidious Discord kikes be destroyed forever.

Valve has been on quite the roll in the past few weeks, pushing for a major offensive against the forces of evil. Gaben’s powerful vidya empire has recently announced they would henceforth allow even the most politically incorrect games to be present on their storefront, dealing a major blow to the J-left’s censorship schemes.

And now, we have more great news from our beloved supplier of entertainment.

They have hatched a plan to destroy Discord, one of our most hated enemies.

Don’t forget, Discord is a company owned by a Jew who sells the conversation logs of Alt-Right servers straight to antifa and other Jewish organizations.

Discord is just generally the most wretched company out there, when it comes to privacy.

And since Discord is specifically targeted at PC gamers, Steam is in a unique position to take over their user base.

Tech Crunch:

Discord has risen among the ranks of gamers as the most common choice for game-related communications. And it’s easy to see why: it works well and the competition is pretty dismal. But Valve is looking to keep users in-house with an overhaul of the chat options on its game platform Steam.

Yes. The competition is horrible.

Discord is by far the best chat program out there. Everything else is inexplicably primitive and backwards by comparison.

Compare this to Skype. Ugh…

Why is it that no one else managed to make a chat program that doesn’t suck? Sending text around shouldn’t be a complex feat of engineering.

It’s a welcome change, one of many that Steam’s users have surely been asking for — the platform, while convenient in many ways, is also incredibly outdated in others. The friend and communications options may as well be ICQ, and let’s not get started on the browser.

Today’s news suggests that Valve has not failed to hear gamers’ cries. The revamped chat is very Discord-like, with text and voice channels listed separately, in-game details like map and game type listed next to friends and a useful quick list for your go-to gaming partners. There’s also a robust web client.

They straight up just took all of Discord’s best features and great layout, and added a few new features that only they could provide due to their position as a games platform.

This… This is great!

Voice and text chat is all encrypted and passed through Steam’s servers, which prevents the NSA competition from monitoring your squad’s tactics during PUBG games and griefers from tracing your IP and ordering a hundred pizzas to your door (or worse).

The NSA can realistically still get your chat logs. But the NSA aren’t the ones we need to be worried about. Not having your chats leaked to your political enemies, as is Discord’s policy, is already a huge improvement.

It’s long past due for a platform like Steam, but more importantly it lets them keep Discord in check. The latter, after all, could conceivably grow itself a game store or promotions page in order to subsidize its free services — and that would be stepping on Valve’s turf. Unforgivable.

That said, it’s far too late for Steam to steal away Discord’s users — it’s been adopted by far too many communities and the benefits of switching aren’t really substantial. But for people who have not yet installed Discord, the presence of a robust chat and voice client within Steam is a powerful deterrent.

That’s where you’re wrong, Tech Crunch.

At the very least, all of the Alt-Right is plausibly going to switch over to this new platform, and so is anyone even vaguely concerned about their privacy.

Moreover, this isn’t some new platform that people will have to move to. Everyone already has a steam account. So it’s just a question of “do I use this additional, external program now that Steam gives me all the features I need?”

In the long term, this is seriously going to eat away at Discord’s userbase.

So the only question is, will Steam also sell our information to third party organizations?

Probably not.

If anything, they’ll give us antifa’s chatlogs.

Valve is a private company, and they can already make use of the user’s data to sell them more games. They have an incentive to keep the information to themselves, as it hampers the competition. Moreover, there’s no shareholder pressure to maximize profit for every cent possible.

So odds are, they’ll keep things on the up and up.

Hail Gaben!

I have decided that the Discord App is potentially very dangerous. It may be collecting private data and selling it to our enemies.

I think we should all stop using it.

Immediately.

A couple of weeks before Charlottesville, I saw a video on YouTube going through the ToS of Discord (which has since been reworded), showing that they are collecting and “reserving the right” to sell any and all private data that you include on this app. They even reserve the right to scrape any apps you connect to Discord, and sell that information.

The video also included the fact that Jason Citron, founder of Discord, had previously founded a company called OpenFeint, which was sued for extreme privacy abuses – illegally harvesting and selling data.

From Courthouse News, June of 2011:

The OpenFeint mobile gaming network collected data and personal information from its users’ cellphone-linked profiles and sold the information to Internet application developers, according to a federal class action.

Lead plaintiff Matthew Hines claims Openfeint accessed, monitored and stored the unique device identifiers for mobile devices along with personally identifiable information such as a user’s exact GPS location, Internet browsing history and Facebook and Twitter profiles.

OpenFeint’s business plan included accessing and disclosing personal information without authorization to mobile-device application developers, advertising networks and web-analytic vendors that market mobile applications, according to the complaint. The company acquired such information covertly, without adequate notice or consent, involving 100 million consumer mobile devices.

The video suggests that Discord is doing the exact same thing.

All types of other people have reported problems and potential problems with Discord.

Read this Tom’s Guide article on it.

Watch this other video.

The app has had tens of millions of dollars invested in it, and doesn’t have any ads. It makes perfect sense that they, like Facebook, are in the business of selling data.

Post-Charlottesville Fallout

After Charlottesville, the Daily Stormer’s Discord room was banned after being reported by the alleged free speech activist, doxer, accused sexual predator and Jew Laura Loomer.

Then, there was a series of massive server “leaks.”

The Charlottesville planning server was leaked, even though it was highly secure and no one could figure out who could have leaked it.

After having thought about it – and even having promoted the service myself – I began to view the app as very dangerous, and have repeatedly speculated that they might be giving over private chatlogs to “buyers.”

I stopped using it, completely, and told everyone else to do so.

Since then, servers have been repeatedly leaked. People have been doxed without being able to figure out how they were doxed.

Repeatedly and consistently, I have been given reason to believe that these are not Discord “leaks,” but data being bought by our enemies.

This Daily Beast Article

This week, the top Jewess covering the Alt-Right for the Daily Beast, Kelly Weill, wrote a piece talking about the SPLC and other “antifascists” tracking Discord servers to “out” the Nazis.

Daily Beast:

Discord is a free voice and text app with invite-only chat rooms, but those private servers quickly found a new fanbase with hate groups, who wanted to discuss plans in secret. After white supremacist groups were revealed to have used Discord to plan the deadly Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, last year, Discord started banning those groups en masse. But purging hate from the private chat rooms is no easy task.

In early April, the media collective Unicorn Riot leaked more than a year of Discord logs leaked from the now-defunct neo-Nazi group The Traditionalist Worker Party. The leaked logs showed the TWP’s dramatic implosion after an affair and alleged assault among the party’s leaders in March. The chat logs also show a splinter group of former TWP members starting their own Discord chat room to discuss launching a new white supremacist group.

The chat logs were the latest in a series of leaked messages from neo-Nazi Discord chat rooms, called “servers.” But those servers shouldn’t have been online at all. After the Unite the Right rally, Discord shut down chat rooms associated with the rally and announced “action against white supremacy, Nazi ideology, and all forms of hate.”

So why were they on there then?

Obviously, it wouldn’t be hard to use a keyword search to find them.

Right?

There are still a bunch of PUBLIC Discord rooms which ADVERTISE themselves as Alt-Right rooms.

Why are they allowing this to stay, unless they want it on there to collect data?

And that would certainly be a much more aggressive and effective “action against white supremacy” than just banning everyone, wouldn’t it then?

And look at what we’ve got here:

Discord told The Daily Beast it has also begun working with the Southern Poverty Law Center to combat hate groups on the platform, although it did not specify the details of the arrangement.

Working with the SPLC… and refusing to provide details… while allowing open and public “white supremacist” chat rooms to operate with impunity.

Really makes you wonder.

“Although some far-right extremists continue to return to the platform, Discord’s decision to ban the most well-known communities has deprived them of a place to openly organize, plan, and promote their poisonous ideologies,” Heidi Beirich, director of the Southern Poverty Law Center’s Intelligence Project, said in a statement. “Discord’s pledge to continue to combat extremist organizing on their platform is critical. This fight is not going to end tomorrow. Other tech companies who struggle with these same issues should know it’s always the right policy decision to reject organized hatred.”

Again, I want to make this perfectly clear: I’m not going to link them, but I could pull up at least five Discord chat rooms which are publicly available and have hundreds of members and are filled with Alt-Right content at least as extreme as anything on the Daily Stormer.

And Heidi’s response is totally different than her normal response when asked about internet censorship: generally, her default position is “they’re not doing enough.”

But Discord is doing great she says.

Ryan Lenz also gave comment to the Daily Beast, apparently mocking us.

“I think the alt-right has relied on Discord as a means of communication across distances, with the expectation that what’s happening, or what they can talk about is secure,” Ryan Lenz, a senior investigative reporter with the Southern Poverty Law Center, told The Daily Beast.

…

“I think time and time again, especially in the aftermath of Charlottesville, we’ve seen that Discord is not as secure as the alt-right thought it would be,” Lenz said, “and that many of their unsavory ideas or true intentions have been laid bare by leaks and otherwise communications on the platform.”

“Leaks and otherwise.”

What is the “otherwise” of that sentence?

What are even the options for what it could be?

I believe we’ve been had, friends.

Antifa Says They Have 50-60 More Servers to Release

This week on an antifa podcast called “Solecast,” an antifa figure from Unicorn Riot claimed that he has 50-60 Discord servers of Alt-Righters that he is presently combing through.

Here’s that clip.

https://vocaroo.com/i/s07SDYZSo4JM

They are obsessed with doxing, because they have no arguments and what the hell else are they going to do. Massive amounts of resources are being poured into this.

What I Think

I think Discord is using keyword software to access private chats inside of the app, selling all of the information directly to the SPLC, which is both compiling databases of whatever private information they are able to gather on political dissidents – which would include but not be limited to IP addresses, email addresses and any other personal information which is entered into the app or said in a chat.

They might even be selling passwords, meaning if you are using the same password for your Discord account as the email account you signed up for it with, they could breach that as well.

I think they have given the SPLC real time access to chats on these servers, as well as the PMs of the members of the servers.

Certainly, the SPLC has the money to pay for that.

I think that Daily Stormer was banned by the company right after Charlottesville and then the SPLC called them up and was like “hey, slow down on the banning – let’s work out a deal here, because we’d really like the IPs, emails and internal communications of these groups and we saw the ToS they agreed to when they signed up for their services and it looks like you can give us that.”

And I think personally that they’re going beyond simply monitoring the Alt-Right.

I think the SPLC and other groups are building databases of even normie r/The_Donald-tier Trump supporters.

I believe it is more likely than not that every single individual who has ever posted a Pepe or MAGA meme on the service now has their IP and email address, as well as all of their public and private posts on the app, stored in a database.

It sucks to admit that.

But that is what I think is probably happening.

Options

The first thing that needs to be done is that everyone needs to get the hell off of Discord.

Delete your account, figure out how to remove the software from your computer.

You should have already been using a VPN and hopefully you were.

Then, my recommended replacement is Telegram.

It does require a phone number, but you can either buy a burner phone or get a Google Phone number for free.

Telegram allows you to have large “channels” with lots of options for meme posting and the ability for custom emoticons. It is great software. You can also keep things private.

There is a phone app and a desktop app, both of which are very polished.

It also allows “secret chats” with end-to-end encryption.

They just refused to give their encryption keys to the Russian government, and got banned in the entire country (using some pretty extreme means) for it. So the secret encrypted chats are safe. The channels and non end-to-end chats are not that safe, but they’re hella safer than Discord.

The only real feature you’re going to miss is the group phone call feature. You can do one-on-one phone calls, but not group. Yet.

Please Note: Regular chats on Telegram are NOT encrypted and it should NOT be used for anything you want to be super-secure. You should not put your real name on the service. And you should not use your real phone number. You should still use a VPN. This is only intended to be an alternative to Discord that is easy and at least significantly safer, not some kind of ultimate solution to online privacy.

For higher levels of privacy, you should use Signal, which is a lot more secure than Telegram, as all communication on it is end-to-end encrypted by default.

Are You Already Screwed Tho?

I can foresee the question everyone is going to be asking themselves, which is: is it already too late?

And the big answer to that is of course “no, it is never too late to increase your opsec.”

But is it already too late to prevent the SPLC from getting a bunch of private information on you?

If you used it anonymously, with a fake email, didn’t consider any of the chats “secure,” and in particular if you used a VPN, then you probably don’t have a whole lot to worry about.

If you didn’t do any of that, then the SPLC file on you is probably a lot bigger.

But again, whatever the case, I am recommending in the strongest terms that you drop this app immediately.

This stuff is serious. We cannot be casual about this. Even if you don’t care about your own dox, when you behave casually, you encourage others to do the same.

And every time a doxing happens, the Alt-Right is further demoralized.

We don’t need any more of this.

We need to be smarter.

Is there a more evil company than Snapchat?

First they came for our streaks.

Now, they’re coming for our GIFs.

Just how far are these sickos willing to go to make our lives miserable?

Millions of lives were ruined last month when Snapchat changed their interface to an unusable mess. And now, instead of apologizing in trying to repair the damage they’ve done to society, they’re doubling down, big time.

The government needs to come down on these criminals – while they still have the chance.

Tech Crunch:

Snapchat and Instagram have temporarily removed their Giphy GIF sticker features after users saw an extremely racist GIF as an option to add to their images. Snapchat confirms to TechCrunch “As soon as we were made aware, we removed the GIF and have disabled Giphy until we can be sure that this won’t happen again . . . while we wait for Giphy’s team to take a look at it.”

Let me ask you this: what the hell is the point of Snapchat if you can’t send your friends racist animated memes? How the hell are you supposed to keep a solid chat streak going if this ban on GIFs takes away all your content?

Typical Snapchat GIF #1.

Typical Snapchat GIF #2.

Typical Snapchat GIF #3.

The service is now basically useless.

A source tells TechCrunch the same racist GIF was spotted in Instagram as well, indicating that Giphy is at fault. A tweet by Lyauna Augmon shows the GIF being used within Instagram. Giphy appears to have removed the GIF as it’s no longer available in Instagram. An Instagram spokesperson tells TechCrunch “This type of content has no place on Instagram. We have stopped our integration with Giphy as they investigate the issue.” The company confirms the change has been made but might take some time to propagate to all users.

The Snapchat spokesperson says that all GIFs in Snapchat are meant to be “rated PG,” meaning they’re mostly suitable for the 13-and-up teens that are technically allowed on Snapchat.

Wow, gay.

The only one who needs to apologize here is the one who left that disgusting white pixelated border on that GIF. Yuck! Talk about amateur work.

The GIF includes disturbing text including a racial slur, which TechCrunch has blurred out below. It reads “N—– Crime Death Counter – Keep Cranking Bonzo, the Numbers Just Keep on Climbing!”

In the past month, Snapchat has been working as hard as possible to alienate their own core audience – young people. And let me tell you – young people don’t give one flying fuck about racist memes.

The youth care about two things, and two things only: their streaks, and GIFs. And now you’ve taken those things away.

This is not a sustainable business model.
