Former ActiBlizz executive, Humam Sakhnini, to become Discord's CEO Anonymous 04/23/2025 (Wed) 20:46:02 Id: e604ec No. 1231057
https://discord.com/blog/passing-the-torch https://discord.com/blog/discord-appoints-new-ceo-humam-sakhnini How bad will Discord become? Are you jumping ship to another platform to chat with your /v/idya buddies? Where, if so?
>>1231057 >we're going public >new CEO is a former actiblizz VP in charge of king/candy crush saga/etc it's going to become even worse
>>1231254 NUMBER ONE ELITE, SAAR
I can't believe they stole marks idea like that
>>1231254 (((that))) kind of name, of course
I really, truly hope kikecord dies. I hate it with a burning passion. This garbage company is contributing massively to the downfall of the internet with their faggoty siloing and troony cultivation.
>>1231057 it's already terminally shit so it's not like it can get meaningfully worse at this point. if anything, getting even worse would probably be a net benefit as that might just be the final push the few sane addicts still coping and trying to use it need to finally leave. >>1231322 yup that's a kike alright.
>>1231254 he's only humam, after all

big kek if true never used that shit
>>1231057 >Human Sack of Shit They are already moving towards total control of all major corporations and institutions. They will keep doing this until the inevitable backlash happens.
>New CEO is basically the living equivalent of the "would sell a refrigerator to an eskimo" type Discord is fucked beyond fucked.
>made a Ferengi the head of the most greedy holodeck corporation in the Alpha Quadrant this show's writing has gotten so fucking bad man
Discord should be banned. It's nothing but trannies who should be in prison for the mentally insane
Normalfags will move to another proprietary service.
>>1231057 the absolute state I think I'm going to switch to element/matrix for good

i cant take Indians anymore they are so clan like and sub human and ruin everything once they arrive
>>1231960 its actually a jew >>1231322 >>1231518
>>1231057 I totally misread his name as "Human sock in the knee", and I'm just a bit more confused than I was prior to reading the name. Either way, Mr. Human can't make Discord worse unless he just straight up removes file sharing. would be a cold day in hell when that happens.
>>1231812 TeamSpeak is not proprietary
saar please do the needful and enter your social security code to log in to the Discord saar it is Humam Identity Protection to prevent the hackers.
>>1231518 >Humam Sakhnini >reptilian skinwalker >called "human" who writes this shit?
>>1231812 There is no other service and that is the fucking problem right now. >teamspeak takes two step back for every step forward and still tries to fleece everyone with server license >ventrilo and mumble aren't even competing at this point >telegram is only useable on phone due to how shit their desktop client is >whatsapp lacks even what telegram has >zoom and other corporate solutions are straight up not geared for it >nobody will go back to skype >guilded is run by absolute retards >matrix is too fucking arcane for mass adoption
anyone who uses discord is really just getting themselves fucked.
>>1238493 Unironically steam is great for just talking to people and they've implemented lots of what discord has over the years.
>>1238503 Well it would be discord that would introduce a way for mods too make sure that they are talking to an actual child.
>>1231057 This has no impact on me since I haven't had online friends in years. The last time I think I used a messenger service was back when MSN was still around.
>>1238520 Steam is supplementary at best, granted i never used their vc solutions as i had no real reason to, but other community features aren't really up to snuff.
>>1238493 What about signal.org?
>>1238493 >>nobody will go back to skype Didn't they finally close Skype down recently?
>>1238580 First time hearing about it, looks pretty much like skype. >>1238583 Yeah i totally memoryholed that.
>>1231057 Human Sack Nini, What a name
>>1231665 I will forever associate that song with the steaming pile of shit that is Ass Effect Andromeda
>>1231057 >Humam Sakhnini
>>1238548 It's the other way around for me, all my online friends have dissapeared into that hole and never came out. If it dies in a shrieking ball of fire and forces everyone out I might be able to talk to them again.
A shame honestly. I like discord. A first messenger since jabber irc days that I have positive impression of. Unlike other mainstream messenger platforms it doesn't ask for my phone number.
It's not like we ever had safe alternatives like Mumble this entire time or anything
>>1238574 Works for me, what are you missing that steam doesn't provide besides video chat?
>>1231057 Hope it doesn't go to shit too badly. My friend group is split across the US and it's the main way we keep in touch with each other right now. Plus it's handy for the very few servers that aren't run by faggots. The main annoying thing is how many places are just moving all their shit to discord or require you to join their server to access download links to the point that if anything happened and discord shut down tomorrow, there would be completely insane amounts of shit lost forever literally overnight.
Every retard that abandoned traditional forums and put all their eggs in the Discord basket deserves what's coming for them.

why did skype have to die now
Are there any good alternatives to Discord? I use to play with voicechat with some pals but for the most part I hate it. I don't really use the screen share or other multimedia features beyond file sharing so if any other client has that, then that works
I was a hoarder and was using discord to store a ton of shit, now all that has to be moved. Smh.

>>1231057 >Decided to go looking for an active, non-Discord chat room over the weekend >They basically don't exist outside of furry gooners We need centralized chat services like Discord to go away. We need to return to IRC-style chats that ran on servers that could be hosted by whoever wanted to pony up for one. Centralization is the enemy of free speech.
>>1238503 what the FUCK
>>1241697 >IRC-style chats Have you considered just using IRC
>>1242327 no. Who would consider that?
>>1238520 >send a single text message to a single friend on steam >he tells me to use Discord instead I don't use discord simply out of contrarian stubbornness. Why the fuck should i download some other program and make an account? Just so a handful of my friends don't have to click a new window to respond to me?
>>1231705 Yeah, same. The moment they demanded my phone number to continue using their service I stopped using it. Not even Gmail is that aggressive with its data collecting. >>1238520 They're held back by their apps being dogshit. The chat and steam apps are separated for some reason and the former doesn't even support the mic in group calls.
what kind of micro-transaction will they add?
I am glad I successfully converted my friends and family over to Telegram.
>>1241697 >Youtube for videos >Twitch for livestreams >DIscord for group calls and community hubs >Reddit for archived discussions It really sucks how centralized the internet has become. The worst part is that I've seen people dogging on imageboards because "The users just want to say slurs". They genuinely don't grasp an online environment that hasn't been sterilized to shit by corporations and activist groups.
>>1231057 aahhaha why is it always pajeets
>>1231261 yeah its definitely over once the mythical investors come in with their demand for increased profit every quarter. back up your stuff if you used it and get out while you can
>>1240087 probably something that uses https://revolt.chat/ will be pretty much the same
>>1231057 he's gonna sakh your nini
>>1243079 It's not the slurs themselves but what they suggest. When every platform has some variation of a voting system, usernames, an algorithm, a word filter and like 8 different groups that can interrupt the discussion, it suggests that it's a place where the control over how users express themselves is less restrictive, thus allowing people to have more freedom to say what they think, whichever way they want. The demand for spaces like this only increases as the internet becomes more centralized and corpos turn everything into a professional environment where you HAVE to act in a certain way or the invisible hand smites you. You have generations that are used to these overly sanitized online spaces getting a taste of freedom and not grasping that being able to call someone a fag is only the peak of the iceberg.
>>1242327 Active, anon. The key word was active.
>>1243079 >There are people using that site because they genuinely think imageboards are about saying nigger. Not exactly. I fight for the right to say nigger because it has far more impact on a normalfag than my whining about how I fled gamefaqs about 20 years ago due to unbearably strict moderation.
>>1243015 I found this list: https://alternativeto.net/software/revolt-chat/ The problem is who moderates any of these services, if there is any and of course, security. I remember when Discord was first released, they promised a privacy focused program with encryption. Well that doesn't mean shit now obviously, especially with their furry tranny moderator team and the fact that everything is kept on a server, even if you delete messages.
>>1238493 The chinks will come with something better and people will move to it once Discord gets massively censored and subverted.
>>1231518 wtf I thought he was going to be some greasy, shit-stinking poojeet
>>1239890 Because MS is shit.

I fucking miss Windows Live Messenger >Create Windows Live Messenger >It's Kino as fuck and fun >"WE NEED TO BUY OUT SKYPE" >Buy out Skype >Fuck up Skype worse than it already is >Force Windows Live Messenger users to move to Skype >Every Skype update makes it even worse. >Kill Skype because Skype being so shit, everyone ran to Discord If MS kept maintaining Windows Live Messenger and added encryption to it, it would have been damn good (even if you are on MS servers)

>>1238790 >how are you doing fellow humam beings
>>1231057 About fucking time. Discord is finally dying
Wow, it's nothing. No, I won't change to a shittier client because some jew is the CEO. None of my normalfag friends give a shit and will continue using it. They're just gonna try to push discord nitro and add a bunch of useless crap for nitro.
>>1244463 Chinks already has their not discord, but it is made by chinks for chinks and they aren't very keen on releasing it for global adoption.
>>1252054 >ccp spyware installer and the bugs can keep it
>>1231057 >>1248061 You get what you deserve, cuckchanners, you've already signaled you will submit to face and ID scan so why the fuck would this come as a surprise to anybody with a triple digit IQ?
>>1231518 >POV: You're a penny someone dropped on the floor
>>1231057 Shit.
>>1231518 >it's already terminally shit Not even fucking close. Right now, Discord is almost entirely hands-off if your discord is private. That's part of why it's used so much for gaming and gooning. It would take one change from this dipshit retard to completely ruin discord and that's to demand Private discords have the same moderation standards as public ones and use AI to enforce that. Then boom, your unfiltered chat room becomes subject to the nanny state's moderation arm. No sex, no drugs, no alcohol, no racist memes, 18+ requires a drivers license, fox only, final destination.

>>1242327 I love IRC and I'm in several servers, but IRC can never take discord's place because it's missing some important features like drop-in voice chat (CTCP doesn't cut it, this isn't the 2000s) and drop-in images that are server-hosted. The last one is important because it means the images can stick around for literal years and nothing changes. CTCP has always been a band-aid to add features that the 30 year old protocol can't support. A better option for everyone would be to move to self-hosted Matrix instances, but you can't even rely on these kids to host a counterstrike server, much less a Matrix instance in a privacy, freedom-loving country. The existing element.io hosting for matrix instances is just re-centralizing something that is meant to be decentralized.
>>1231057 IRC 3.0 can't come out soon enough. Matrix/Elements are FOOKING RAW and can be a pain to deal with, especially if you need to juggle between different servers(you can use only one account at the time registered)
so it was more than likely because of this idiot that discord suddenly introduced an ignore feature which is like the block feature, but doesnt tell the user that they were blocked and the only change is that you dont see it do you know how stupid that feature is wherever it is implemented. instead of giving the person a clear message, they will keep badmouthing and emote reacting to your messages, then others will start talking about it and then you see it anyway. worse, they are now collecting face verification data in some countries in response to demands, which means your data ends up in some database never to be deleted, because companies love to sell your collected data "that has been anonymized". discord hit itself in its confusion at being a gaming communication platform and now its got an out of touch ceo. sounds like nintendo paid their appointer board members to be this incompetent. wouldnt be surprised.
>>1231518 >Humam Sakhnini Are the jews moving to india or some shit? Thought it would be a pajeet based on the name.
>>1253144 Most people are locked behind CGNat these days so nobody will be self hosting anything ever again. You will use your state sponsored Israeli spyware service and you will like it.

The unfortunate problem is getting people to move anywhere niche is almost impossible, twofold if it doesnt have the features they want. Steam at least has most features that are necessary for a chat program (barring video chats)
>>1261657 Indians are the perfect slave race. Their society is built around it.
>>1261727 >the unfortunate problem is getting people to move anywhere niche is almost impossible more like impossible because viable discord alternatives like guilded get bought out like by roblox and then shortly after they demand everyone create a roblox account to continue using it.
>>1261832 You use what you have that you know or strongly feel isn't fucked that has most of the features you want. Or if you want to be an uber autist use some bullshit like XMPP
>>1261839 >You use what you have that you know or strongly feel isn't fucked that has most of the features you want. yes I am sure this era would willingly move to xat chat. anytime now.
>>1261877 >this era Get your friends to move, screw everyone else.
>>1231057 Thank god, I hate Discord. This fucking thing enabled grooming and circle jerking. I hope it go down in flames.
I wonder why mainstream entertainment-adjacent tech companies can’t be run by straight white people? Why is the pronoun section of the liberal establishment so important to this industry?
>>1266345 nothing to do specifically with race. straight white people just don't say "yes" often enough.
>>1238493 That's exactly the issue. It's very hard to find a place where you can have a call with 15 people or less and have 4 or 8 people streaming their games at the same time. Guilded came extremely close to that before they decided to be retarded and go to Roblox.
>>1261727 The video chats are important. It's the only reason why anyone is on Discord or was on Guilded. Guilded was Discord but free. Sad part is there is no true alternative now. Teamspeak still does not have those features fully implemented.
>>1231705 >never used that shit Good, the original founder of Discord alone should have been enough red flags to turn people away from the program or at the very least only run it on a separate PC with none of your personally identifying files on it. That's what I do anyway whenever I'm forced to use anything related to Windows anyway. Discord glowed from day one and I'm very suspicious about how it spread so fast, I doubt the movement was organic granted I'm sure you had a lotta people migrating there from Skype back then but the first initial people mentioning it are always gonna be shills till it eventually becomes word of mouth from people who don't have skin in the game. What's the point though when Steams built in voice/chat functionality works just fine though?
>>1242933 >what kind of micro-transaction will they add? Shitty 'NFT' emoji's perhaps? Special Janny powers too?
>>1239890 >why did skype have to die now For the reasons listed bellow.... Also one of the few fun things 4Cuck did when /pol/ was manipulating Google search algorithms and turned Skype into an ethnic slurr. Sadly now as you know 4cuck /pol/ is just nigger dick spam and r/TheDonald circle jerks.
>>1231057 Is there even a breast milk supply at Dicksword?
If microsoft had a ounce of competency they would bring messenger back, since it already had many "discord" features since fucking 2007, even the ability to make your own animated emoticons without paying a fucking cent

In fact I'd argue a nu-MS Messenger would be even more bloated an full of keyloggers an spywarethan Discord+Weechat combined which is saying sometihng. You should hope it stays dead for good so you can continue to remember it fondly.

>>1253144 >self-hosted the main issue is the same one as IRC: you need a bouncer and people don't have devices they can leave hooked up 24/7. I mean, it was sort of doable via CFW routers, but ISP (((modem-routers))) have completely replaced routers moreover, corpos HATE self-hosted anything since it undermines their (((subscription))) business models
>>1244749 There is Escargot that is patched Windows Live Messeger but in a different server to be online
>>1231428 This. They allow huge amounts of grooming and crime on their site, but 4chan and 8chan are the big baddies for some reason >>1231705 It's good for video game lobbies like how Xbox has voice chat "parties," but otherwise is shit. I tried joining a server a few months ago and what a surprise... The server owner was a groomer. >>1231811 Checked and based >>1233434 >No we don't know anything about grooming ;^) >>1244908 Good. Roll it out nation wide. Dumb kids will get banned, groomers won't have bait, and adults will refuse to use it. >>1266345 It's by design. It is antisocial psychopathy being weaponized. Kick all your "evil white males" out of everything because they don't want to be genocided.
>>1266345 Also trannies are mentally ill so they are easy to manipulate. They also get tons of government aid like disability for mental illness and government paid hormones/surgery. They are so horrible online because they literally don't have normal jobs and spend all day every day being a jannny against the evil chud Nazis.
>>1288802 literally no one would give a shit about trannies if they didn't invade others' hobbies to plaster their ugly flag everywhere. they're like furfags but even worse since they groom kids into chopping their dicks off and taking hormones ('cracking eggs' in their sick, twisted parlance)

>>1459371 That video is interesting, but the audio is so shit it's almost unwatchable. I find it hard to believe that someone who has used Skype since 2006 has that shit of a microphone, so I will blame it on the audio compression of that mp4. Does anyone have the jewtube link to his original video? Maybe I could make a better one. If not, at least I could watch it in better quality. I tried searching for "the discord of discord" and "the discourse of discord" but none of them gave me that video.
