Remember you can trust Discord with your driver’s license for verification, I’m sure they won’t accidentally store them in a plain text open API call or anything.
Lmao. A game accidentally receiving your Discord DMs and credentials if you sent a crash report just because game devs integrated basic Discord functionality is insane. But kind of what you have to expect from Discord and why I’ll never enable Discord integration.
“accidentally”
Issue seems to be with Discord’s SDK, not Embark. Good on Embark responding quickly by patching something Discord should be responsible for, though.
Well… They quickly patched it when it went public. It was reported to them a month ago.
Fuck Discord
accidentally
accidentally?
Can’t wait until Fluxer is ready for full migration from Discord.
I’ve been using Fluxer recently. It’s been pretty nice since they migrated the servers, and as soon as self-hosting and federation gets added (which is top priority according to Herman), I hope people will switch over.
Federation and easy self hosting will be killer for sure. There is already a Discord migration bot and a Discord-Fluxer bridge bot I think. Future is looking hopeful.
Why use fluxer over Matrix?
Matrix still misses a ton of features to be a direct 1:1 Discord replacement. On top of that Fluxer has a familiar UI (it’s essentially just a Discord clone) and is simpler in onboarding (Matrix is still techy).
Fluxer is a direct Discord drop-in. Matrix requires a lot of setup and tweaking to get high throughput video. Plus the default server and client are bloated and buggy
This shit is why I only use discord on the browser and try not to directly link any accounts anywhere. Anything sniffing around my executables and talking between them is sketchy. Anything asking for access to my other accounts is sketchy
All I did was take the information and put it in a paper bag and leave it on the side of the road. If a bad person picked up the bag and did bad things with the information, that’s not my fault!
It‘s more like some business partner keeps hiding pages of personal information of customers in the work they submit to you. Then someone finds out you have all that information and now it‘s your job to clean up the mess. If you have friends like Discord you don‘t need enemies.
It’s a good point around the recent CA age verification laws: Sensitive data (is this user a potential target for predators?) can’t be leaked if it was never recorded in the first place.
It’s more than time to move away from Discord.
So far, on the matrix protocol front, Commet is a good candidate.
On the XMPP protocol front, Movim is… moving forward, developping a clone interface that is promising.
There are others, like Stoat and Fluxxer, but I don’t know much about them.
Why commet and not element?
Hi! Because of the UI, which aims to be similar to discord.
To be honest, this is why I immediately disable integrated voice chat for any games that have it and use a third-party voice chat app with end to end encryption for chatting (like Signal).

How do you “accidentally” other people’s conversations?

If I’m reading it right, it’s kinda like how that one guy “hacked” 70,000 robot vacuums. Bad scope limits. Game uses token to do the rich presence stuff, and instead of just getting a confirmation back, it gets everything.

So in other words rich presence shares your conversations with game makers

By being a bad security actor when asking permission and giving permission.
