Last time I tried to use discord my account was automatically flagged as suspicious and it forced me to enter a mobile phone - even though I did solve a captcha.
It also insisted that my firefox was outdated even though it was not. It kept being laggy and glitchy, lacks e2ee/e2ea, bans 3rd party clients, is not accessible to people with disabilities, etc.
So yeah, Discord is one of the worst choices, and not only for free software projects.
- dheera 7y agoI use virtual numbers for all of these services. They don't need to or have a right to my mobile phone number.
- perryprog 7y agoI couldn’t agree more. I also really want to emphasize a less mentioned issue with Discord, which is its accessibility (or lack thereof). It’s effectively impossible for anyone with visual impairment that use a screen-reader to use Discord. I could go into (/very/) great length into this, but that’s the gist. What makes this even better is that there’s no getting around this limitation: third-party clients or client modifications are disallowed in the TOS and will cause your account to be banned.
