Ok I'm a hijack your comment for visibility and all that.

• Discord never deletes your data. We're guessing that they delete your images when you delete them, but we can not be sure. Usually the images you delete are still available via the link for days, but only for your IP.

• HOWEVER your texts are FUCKED. We don't know if they actually delete your text messages when you delete them on your end, but knowing that we all use Discord, you all probably have more than 10 thousand messages. YOU CAN NOT BULK-DELETE THEM. Even if you delete your account your messages are kept, which is against EU laws. The support won't help you either, the best reply you'll get (if they reply) is "We can't delete your messages lmao".
  edit; it's already physically impossible for you to delete 10k+ messages, but just to add salt to the wound; you also can not delete certain messages. for example, if you had deleted your DM history with someone, those messages will forever stay with discord.

• Discord sniffs your .exes so it can display your games. Even if you turn off "display my games", it still sniffs (as proven by some post on this sub long ago). This means they know all the shit you have on your PC, including possibly pirated crap that's not on your Steam account (which Discord can check since you probably have your Steam account linked)

Do not believe the staff when they say shit like "Yeah but we'd never sell your data". This is all corporate mumbo jumbo, they can do whatever they want. HideMyAss, a VPN service, said that they didn't log your internet history, but later it turned out they did roflmao.

Never trust corporations & their PR stuff when it comes to privacy. Always work under the assumption that you're constantly being watched, and that the people who watch you can invite anyone they want into the creeping party.

Go to %appdata% in explorer and open the discordcanary folder. Then open settings.json and you can add 2 settings: 'MIN_WIDTH' and 'MIN_HEIGHT' to override the default minimums discord imposes on you.
Here is an example of my settings.json with 'MIN_WIDTH' set.

Most platforms do, including Twitter Emoji, which Discord uses.

Edit: and here's the orange heart for Twitter emoji.

It has been fixed in Twemoji 2.4. Now Discord just has to update their Twemoji instance.

• Emojipedia (for comparison)

• GitHub Issue

They've had it for a while... but they seem to slowly be rebranding from discordapp to discord, for example their twitter

I know for a **fact** that they've had discord.com since they changed their twitter to @discord, but i'm pretty sure they've had it for longer

I predict this subreddit will be renamed soon

nope, its real you can download the files here

edit:

you can download it, but to my knowledge you can't apply it. You probably could with a custom BetterDiscord plugin though. If you really want it, contribute to the translations and maybe once it's 100% translated it'll get added.

I'd like to start off by acknowledging a couple of things: You're right, this has been a persistent problem for a long time. But while it may not have been readily apparent, we've actually taken a LOT of action in regards to this. Just off hand: We've completely rewritten voice chat, we've added an automatic curation system that identifies servers that are struggling and moves seamlessly to a new one, we've fixed numerous bugs that were causing audio drops outs and are even in the middle of testing out some more upgrades to the voice servers, right now.

However, it hasn't fixed this issue. We know and all I can really say is I'm sorry. We've tried to fix it, we want to fix but without being able to reproduce it all of our fixes are guesses at best.

To this end, I instituted a program called "Bug Bounties" where users can earn real world rewards for providing us with Consistent Repro Steps for hard to reproduce bugs, so that we are able to reproduce it in-house. The program runs out of the testers server (discord.gg/discord-testers) and the public ticket for it can be found here.

Now, I totally understand your frustration and you even have a lot of valid points. But what I'm hoping you'll understand is that we've never stopped trying and won't until we get this damn bug.

Hey, I'll help you out.

First off you need to install Node.js, which you can get here.

Once that's installed, Download the program from here, unzip the file and place the spoticord-master folder where you want it, this is the program.

Open that folder up and hold shift while right clicking and press 'Open command window here', then you'll see a command prompt window.

Once you see that window, type npm i in the command prompt box, it will install the dependancies for the program.

Open Spotify and Discord, play some music.

Once you've got some music playing, go ahead and type node app.jsinto the command box to get the application to run.

Hope this helps :)

This poster is giving the correct steps. I checked out the login attempts for the IP addresses listed, and all the e-mails attempted were listed on https://haveibeenpwned.com/ - having their e-mail/password compromised on some other site.

If I had to guess, OP is probably using the same password on some other site that was compromised that you are also using on Discord.

Here's a blog post on some things you can do to upgrade your account security: https://blog.discordapp.com/keeping-discord-safe-and-sound-b5db96fbadb3

Use Handbrake, select the Vimeo/YouTube preset you'd like and re-encode it. Most capture software for games uses the least amount of compression to keep from pulling cpu/ram/gpu resources away from the game.

​

https://handbrake.fr/

Regardless of whether your measurements are correct or not, this is really hard to notice. Also, it used to be really off centered, they have recently pushed a fix for it: https://trello.com/c/0P2sF3Mr/

As a European citizen, Discord Inc. is required by law to declare whether or not they can plant trackers, or use cookies for that matter. This is the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). If Discord fails to declare the things I mentioned, Discord Inc. will have the European Union on their arse. And the European Union will ban Discord Inc. from providing a service in Europe. This is how the Swedish Authority for Privacy Protection enforces violations against GDPR.

Besides, ads can be easily blocked with an adblocker, preferably AdGuard.

It's better to encourage people about a better solution than to tell them what they are doing is wrong.

> Use ShareX or Greenshot, they are both much better than lightshot.

By giving a clear and easy path to a solution you make it much more likely that people will head your advice.

I blame react, that being said is there a way Discord/Electron could have the new functionality that the new "Gaming" Opera browser has Opera GX where you can limit cpu and ram usage.

matrix.org is an open-source protocol/network that's decentralized, end-to-end encrypted, can be self-hosted, it has a web/mobile/desktop app, and is all-around great

i'd use it if literally anyone else i knew did

Vote it up here https://feedback.discordapp.com/forums/326712-discord-dream-land/suggestions/11286111-windows-10-universal-app

I'd like them to at least port it via Centennial program just like Slack did https://www.microsoft.com/store/apps/9wzdncrdk3wp

There's a program called OnTopReplica (https://github.com/LorenzCK/OnTopReplica) which can be used to enlarge a specific region on your screen, I haven't tested it for the taskbar/dock region but I'm assuming you can select just the discord icon (what you have shown) region and make it expanded to the entire screen.

I've done the same thing before for stuff like monitoring text from a webpage etc, (and I've seen it being used to make enlarged minimaps for games like DotA) so I can confirm it works.

If any of you are looking for alternatives, I can't recommend ShareX enough. It's an amazing OSS screenshot app and lets you choose where you want to upload your stuff (the default is Imgur, which should probably be changed, but that's up to you).

I'm not trying to be rude but this is a pretty bad solution. It already looks bad because the height of the second picture is bigger than the first. What will happen with the 4th picture? Go above/below the second? Will it go down and leave an awkward empty spot in the middle of the 4th pictures? Your example can be fixed if every image is resized to a default size (I think whatsapp does it this way)

​

The current issue can easily be fixed with a image carousel/gallery when you send 2+ images but considering they still have you stuck with 8mb file share limit for servers unless you have 7+ boosts...I don't think sharing is a priority for them, unless is stickers and nfts

Dear @everyone - here it is. Done with my own very hands. I added a lil' shadow also to pop it up a bit. Enjoy!

I give full royalty free credit to use this wherever you want. I can even provide the PSD which contains the original image of my hand if anyone is interested. Lemme know if you do!

You can find the images here!

Edit: Imgur does not support transparent PNG

I don't know what you are on about. Discord uses HTTPS, that means any communication between your client and the server is encrypted, which makes every JSON payload also encrypted, so your message cannot be read.

Just run a Wireshark and send some messages. All you are going to see is an SSL stream between you and CloudFare see here: https://www.cloudflare.com/case-studies/discord/

> until the first people go to jail because of something they wrote on Discord. Censorship, surveillance

This is just straight up bullshit, the reason why your so called "surveillance and censorship" is possible is because Discord allows bots to exist. Bots behave just like a normal account, except they can be automated for example to respond in a way to certain messages, log messages, user activity and so on. There's a ToS for bot usage, which states that logging user data without notifying the user or allowing them to opt out is strictly illegal. What you can do against it is either don't join or message in that particular discord server. Also the bot must be invited to the server, meaning only the server owners can do it.

> I've had Windows defender off for about 4 years or so

Turn it back on ;)

Windows Defender is one of the best AVs out there (it's come a LONG way since the early implementations), and it can automatically scan and prevent lots of stuff. You can explicitly scan if you suspect something, but in general, everything downloaded automatically gets flagged for extra scrutiny these days anyways.

https://www.techspot.com/news/81396-windows-defender-ranked-joint-best-antivirus-program.html

https://www.av-test.org/en/antivirus/home-windows/ - for the latest ratings

There were a few other independent rankings too that it topped around the same time, but I forget those.

Recently it looks like there's been some AdWords buys by a bunch of people looking to make a buck selling Norton and BitDefender - but if you look at the arguments against, a bunch of it is nonsense...

I did. I said China, not Google.

https://www.huawei.com/en/privacy-policy

It has most of the same thing Google and Apple do regarding that they will store and process your information, with a GDPR clause about localized data processing and consent to cross borders.

And this is why I have Wire as a secondary program to Discord.

Looking back at it, I'm now happy I did that; and not just because Wire has End-2-End Encryption and Discord does not. But also because the people who develop Wire don't give a damn about Politics and don't take sides to try and censor one side of them out.

People keep saying. "Oh, they'll ban the ANTIFA, BlackLivesMatter, and CP Discords too! Just report them!"

BULLSHIT

I've reported multiple discords servers of ANTIFA earlier this year, and absolutely nothing was done about them. I'll even report them AGAIN if I have to, but I highly doubt anything will come of it. At first I just thought it was slow tech support responses, but now I'm starting to think otherwise with this new revelation here.

Bottom Line:

Discord Team, I am VERY Disappointed in you.

If you think I'm wrong, then by all means, Prove Me Wrong and start banning the LEFT-WING Extremist Discord Servers & Accounts as well, and not just Right-Wing Extremists. You either ban extremists from both sides, or don't ban anyone at all. PICK ONE. You motherfuckers can't have it both ways.

This article explains them pretty well. In Discord you can use them to post messages, notifications and feeds from different sources, a bunch of stuff.

I use them to have a channel for all my notifications from different services. Each different source - Reddit, Gmail, Instagram, YouTube, Twitter, Twitch, Android, Facebook, etc. - is a different webhook posting my notifications from that particular service. Since they post automatically like bots they all display the bot tag.

The true solution to this is open source software, with a chat protocol that anyone (including Discord) could implement. That way, no one company maintains access to your data.

I would personally recommend Matrix, which also has easy-to-use bridges to Discord. (You can even do DMs if you're willing to run experimental code, but otherwise, bridging servers works quite well.)

Can confirm this and Discord doesn't even flash when that option is turned on for me. In all honesty, things like this make Discord just frustrating to use when it's mainly about text chats. There is another bug which causes Discord not to give you an orange notification if you minimize the program by clicking on the taskbar icon instead of the minimize button. And that bug is nearly one year old: https://trello.com/c/trn9Gu6S/362-if-the-window-was-minimized-using-the-taskbar-button-the-button-doesnt-blink-when-a-notification-is-received - Before it was even on "P3: Probably Won't be Fixed." Since Discord has become so extremely popular, it would be nice if at least instant messaging basic features would work properly. Sorry if this sounds annoyed, but this is what happens when bugs like these cause unnecessary problems and delays in talks :/

another scenario where this interferes with multitasking: https://vgy.me/BkeQdv.jpg

Your core demographic is gamers, we are not techniologically illiterate, we're capable of resizing a window to our liking without your help. This "improvement" breaks windows features and doesn't get along with other programs.

Skype doesn't have this problem. Teamspeak doesn't have this problem. Because the people who make those actually use windows PCs and understand why doing this is a mistake.

In reply to this, according to Zoom's ToS, the minimum age is 16.

"Zoom is not intended for use by individuals under the age of 16, unless it is through a School Subscriber (as that term is defined in the Services Description) using Zoom for Education (K-12)."

It's important to note that, although you can bypass this age requirement with Zoom for Education, most schools will use the "default" Zoom.

Still, Discord offers no "Discord for Education"

Edit: Source here (at §7)

Well, since matrix is just a free protocol, I think the best way to handle bots is just to either register an account at some instance that allows non-human accounts and then just implement the client<-->server spec (or use something like Matrix SDKs).

However you can also implement your own server and then just talk with other instances directly. This has the benefit that you can generate and remove users as you wish. (Most matrix briges to other chat apps use that to "create" new matrix accounts that send the stuff they wrote from the briged room to the matrix room as the specified user.)

It needs to be a thing because currently anyone can just evade a ban by creating a new account and using a VPN. Since discord doesn't show IPs to server admins theres little admins can do to stop them.

Also its comically easy to detect VPN IPs, a simple reverse DNS lookup can tell you if the IP belongs to a VPN, You can also look at PFS keys, preform whois lookups on the IP or even implement an API like the one provided by ipinfo.io to check.

Our official privacy policy is almost done. Sorry that it's taking so long, but you can rest assured that your privacy is utmost important to us as well as our transparency as a company. Hopefully this isn't TLDR

The privacy policy on our H&C site was written for our previous product, which was an iPad game called Fates Forever. We are currently writing a new one specifically for Discord. The gist is, perhaps unsurprisingly, that we collect information because it’s literally impossible to operate an internet service without collecting information. We are not in the business of selling data - we intend to sell customizables like stickers and skins directly to our users. We understand the whole “if you’re not paying, then you are the product” sentiment and that is not what’s going on here. We are a small startup that is working like crazy and just haven’t gotten around to implementing our store yet (e.g. this is one of the reasons we still call Discord an ‘Alpha’ version). So one example of how we use data is when you sign in to Discord we store your IP address so if you get banned from a server we prevent a user from creating a new account from the same IP to simply circumvent the ban and harass people. However we do intend to change this to use a hash of your IP so we don’t need to keep it around. Another thing we do is log what actions people take in Discord (like, join a server or invite a friend) so we can understand what features people are using and how we can make Discord more awesome. We mostly use https://mixpanel.com to do this but also have some data sent to google analytics.

It's built with Electron, the same base that Twitch.tv, Whatsapp, Skype and more are built with.

Seen a lot of debating from those (like me) who don't usually call on Discord and hate accidental calling and others who don't want a prompt in the way. The solution is very simple..

A toggle in settings among the rest of the other voice toggles. By default there would be no prompt, and the toggle enables the prompt for those who wish to opt into it. Problem solved for everyone.

Also, in case anyone is wondering, this is from Element.

something really funky is going on, like beyond the mere web page, if you check the google play store page for discord, it's all old branding at this point. old slogan, old logo, old colors, etc.

I don't really have any strong feelings on the rebrand so I don't mind too much if this is just a massive deployment error or an actual intentional change. I can see it being a deployment error, a dev mentioned people seeing the old web page due to an issue with the "xx% of users see b instead of a" uix experiment system, but things like the google play pages changing is definitely weirder.

It is a known issue: https://trello.com/c/9Ak9d1Fs/

This support article talks about how the bug reporting system works, you may want to give it a read: https://support.discordapp.com/hc/en-us/articles/115000465492-How-to-Report-Bugs

So this is list what could've happened to you.

1. You got keylogged by some shady program. (E.g 3rd party modifications, shady programs from shady sites and etc.). You also could've been logged by pasting some code into the console. If you did, Discord takes no responsibility for the damage as you broke the Terms of Service by trying to do something in the console when it's purpose for Dev debugging only.

2. Your info got leaked on some site. (Check here - https://haveibeenpwned.com/)

3. You clicked on spoopy link, and followed up the scam which got access to your account. (e.g someone hijacked your localstorage (if thats even possible anymore))

4. Unlikely but possible You shared an account with somebody and (s)he back-stabbed you.

5. Are you sure when you was verifying your phone you wasn't doing it on shady site? (In case you use browser version)

There are lots of "alternate" Slack clones that can be self-hosted and run privately. I think Mattermost and rocket.chat are the most popular, although I don't have any experience in either to say yay or nay.

I don't think either comes close to the level of support by other services Slack has though.

This is not a bot. This is a script that runs periodically from crontab.

Looking through the code I also see that it's been hacked together, not even pulling the values from a common config. I've seen and I've made better youtube announcing bots than this script.

2/10, not worth a reddit post.

edit: you can also accomplish pretty much exactly the same behaviour on zapier except you don't need a server with php and cron permission. http://i.imgur.com/aWmeSOU.png

Apparently you need Nova Launcher Prime. You can afford it like me by just doing Google Rewards Surverys.

Here's what the settings look like.

Hi OP,

It's a known bug that Discord will continue to drain battery if you used the fullscreen camera on Discord, you can fix this by killing Discord in recent tasks.

Trello ticket: https://trello.com/c/9m9vt3kS/

I've been hosting my Red Discord bot on a free Amazon EC2 server for months. I think I got charged $0.03 once when I left it playing a YouTube Playlist on repeat for a few weeks, but other than that, it's been completely free

God only knows what people are trying to do with your account. As a safety item I would change your password and check to see if your email has been compromised on Have I Been Pwned and enable on 2FA on any accounts that you have just in case.

Have you considered using AutoHotkey to create a script so that you could have mouse 4/5 act as an enter key? If you install AutoHotkey from here and input

XButton1::Send, {Enter}

into a text file with the file extension .ahk and run it, mouse 4 will be bound to Enter.

VoiceMeter is what you are looking for. https://www.vb-audio.com/Voicemeeter/index.htm

You can set different input and output channels and can toggel them. If you need more than 2 channels use the Banana version.

Works good for me.

This is already possible on Android using Substratum with the Swift Black theme (paid). It requires root unless you're on Oreo, however.

Having a built in black theme would be amazing on both mobile and PC.

This is actually quite easy to work around with attribute selectors, by selecting based on the "statusYellow100" part rather than the entire class. Take a look at this StackOverflow question for details. I used this trick to tweak the UI with only a couple selectors, and it's futureproof up until/if they change the structure entirely.

It's really quite simple, and I'll share the main base of it which is using the in built child_process module and the exec function on everything after the command. If there's an error it replies with that if not it takes the output and turns it into a string then returns it as a file if its over 2K characters long or if not, a codeblock in language C because for some reason that works lol. If you plan on implementing it, https://nodejs.org/api/child_process.html#child_process_child_process_exec_command_options_callback should be useful.

I’ve heard of a popular one called Clownfish that apparently works quite well. As for if it will have your computer? Use at your own risk. If you’re really worried, back up your important information first.

It may be because the date library they use in JavaScript expects a normal UNIX timestamp, like Date or Moment.

yeah, that's my same problem with Slack. I'd rather self-host if it came to business.

Mattermost and Rocket.Chat appear to fill that gap for business users who require self-hosting.

If Discord allowed self-hosted servers integrated into their client, it would be perfect, in my book.

I have heard that and I am skeptical that it will work. Another service I liked, plug.dj, tried to pay with that and they ended up folding. Between pretty avatars and straight-up donations, the community managed to fund 50% of one month's operational costs.

What is really needed is some sort of recurring revenue. Imgur for example just rolled out API charges which is affecting the various reddit apps. And there's a reason that in freemium games the stuff you buy is usually expendable. Discord's progenitor Slack also has this figured out.

Teamspeak has a really smart model. They get paid to let other companies do the hosting for them and have very little actually hosted themselves. Discord's fully-uniform front face is like cocaine for attracting users vs having to find and pay a host if you want to start a server, but isn't really a good long-run strategy imo.

>Please do not edit, change, distort, recolor, or reconfigure the Discord logo.

Like most companies, they're extremely protective of their branding and won't officially let you do anything fun with it, but it's unlikely that you'll get in trouble.

Activate the 2FA in you Discord account and then scan the QR Code with your [Google Authenticator APP[(https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.authenticator2) (Android), then everytime you logon in Web/Mobile/Desktop Discord it'll ask you for userid, passwd and token

You can't. You would need to manually switch between light and dark theme, or use an external program on your computer to modify the entire screen such as Flux then stick with one theme.

IF YOU WANT TO BULK-DELETE:

Step 1: Get AutoHotkey.

Step 2: Copy the following into Notepad:

t::

Loop, 100000 { send, {Up} send, ^a send, {BS} send, {Enter} send, {Enter} send, {PgUp} sleep, 10 } Return

Step 3: Save as .ahk filetype.

Step 4: Open Discord, and open a relevant channel. Search:

from: <your username here, no brackets>

With that search query open, click the most relevant/recent message to jump to it.

Step 5: Run the .ahk you made earlier, and focus on Discord. Hit the T key. Discord should be going nuts now.

Step 6: Keep filtering through your search with mouse-clicks only, jumping to next text blocks for it to delete for you. When you run out or when Discord is getting strange, right-click on the green "H" icon in your system tray, and click "Pause Script." This is what you can use to sort of reset and re-initialize the message search query and clean up your lists before you try again. You'll have to do it often. You will have to change channel pages if you have multiple in the server that you are active on, which is the only really huge downside.

Ultimately, this process takes me about an hour for a year's worth of consistent activity. A year, gone in an hour. It was about a hundred pages.

EventEmitter#once: listens for the first call of specified event then detaches the listener

EventEmitter#on: listens to all calls of the specified event

EventEmitter#off: detaches a previously attached event listener

And there are more, see https://nodejs.org/api/events.html#events_emitter_prependlistener_eventname_listener

You can get GPDMP which is honestly the best desktop music client I've come across yet. It has Discord Rich Presence integration. It's not Spotify levels of good as far as polish goes, but it's close!

https://www.googleplaymusicdesktopplayer.com

I think the problem is that it raises trust issues. Whenever two people are in a chat channel communicating they will nolonger be able to assume that only they are party to the conversation between them.

It's silly to say you should "question what community you are a part of" as if somehow a 'good' community is going to have people who never misbehave, or that the general impression of the community is going to be reflected at all times by anyone in it with power (just look at that CEO of reddit dude who was editing people's posts).

And people talk about all sorts of things with each other. They shouldn't have to police their conversations just so you can have your idea realised.

With this you're introducing insecurity and trust issues into the system for no good reason.

And I say "for no good reason" because the solution to the problem is utterly trivial: if someone is being abusive in voice chat and a person has a problem with it but they don't have proof because the admins never hear it - just have them record it and let the admin listen to the recording.

It needs not be more complicated than downloading Audacity and pressing record.

you know, when you hover over it you see what flag it actually is. and one of them is actually labeled EA and with a quick google you can find it's the flag of Ceuta &amp; Melilla.
And by the way, this has nothing to do with Discord, it's just how the flag emoji are.

Correct. Whether or not this outage is actually due to Google Cloud or Cloudflare I cannot say. Last I checked I didn't find anything on either status page.

You could always try an online service to host your bot. Heroku may be able to meet your needs, as it has a free plan that hasn't let me down so far (but you may need to be familiar with Git and the command line to use it) for a Node.JS bot. I haven't tested it with bots in other languages, though.

There's the Matrix protocol which is opensource and which has several clients for it available. Riot being a rich client similar to Discord.

I suggest to consider using Google.

tl;dr
Slack is the Discord (mind, it's made and maintained by a different company and has been around for a few years longer) aimed at teams that work on actual projects, while Discord is aiming at (mostly) gaming communities.
https://slack.com/

Element.Io uses matrix (they're the former Riot.Im) and the client looks pretty similar to Discord except it doesn't have the bs features that Discord has, AND it's open-source, so i suggest we all migrate to Element.

It's usually a scam when it says something like Nitro, but because it says NordVPN, I think it's a stolen account generator, and it doesn't cost them anything to generate the accounts, but that's just for this server's case, not for many others

Agreed, I just find it weird how schools and colleges ban all kind of apps and websites. My dorm used to ban pretty much everything, ganes included, so I got NordVPN for a workaround, can't complain. But I'd say that probs any VPN should unblock Discord

I saw it here, about that long ago... Just struck my mind again, going through the servers I have.

"Discord: Chat for gamers" Is still on the install page on the App Store and Play Store, though.

You should also join DTesters, https://discord.gg/discord-testers

I don't know any bots for such function, but you can use IFTTT with Discord webhooks. Tutorials can be found online. You can also check out the subreddit r/ifttt for the said service.

Discord never intends to release buggy features. However, the nature of programming is that when you change the code, something else may break.

There definitely are lots of bugs and issues in Canary, they may get to PTB too if the issue is not critical (or if there is no fix yet but they need to push updates to PTB).

Canary is stable enough to be used. Many people, including myself, use it all the time. We can have several versions of Discord installed to your computer so if Canary breaks too much, we can switch to PTB or stable.

Canary is good for people who want to get even the little changes immediately. Most of the time when we get updates, we may not even notice any changes. If you like to get major updates before they get to stable, PTB should be good enough.

It is a known issue: https://trello.com/c/UQqS3zoJ/

I suggest giving this support article on how to report bugs a read.

It is known that some people are experiencing audio issues in Overwatch: https://trello.com/c/JFM8M1ue/.

I actually didn’t make this art, the art was made by the official discord team Source. I was originally just looking for ideas, I was going to make my own wumpus but I noticed this one was perfect and would save a lot of time.

Automated Message "Bot"

This will detail using built-in Webhooks, and a free IFTTT account.

1. Create a Webhook

1. Click Edit Channel (the gear) next to the text channel you want the bot to run in.
2. Click Webhooks.
3. Click Create Webhook.
4. Give it a name.
5. Make sure it's in the right channel.
6. Copy the Webhook URL, you'll need this later.

2. IFTTT

1. Go to IFTTT, and create an account.
2. Click My Applets at the top.
3. Click New Applet on the right side.
4. Click the gigantic blue word +this.
5. Search, or click, on Date & Time.
6. Choose what time, or what frequency, you want it to go off.
7. Click the gigantic blue word +that.
8. Search for Maker. It's icon is a colorful letter M.
9. Choose Make a web request (the only choice).
10. For URL, paste your that URL you made earlier for the Webhook.
11. For Method, choose POST.
12. For Content Type, choose application/json.
13. For Body, fill in the following: {"content":"Your message here!"}
14. Click Save.

3. Wait patiently.

Your bot will not show up as a bot in the room. Nothing will appear. Sometime within a few moments of whatever time you selected, the bot you named will post that message into chat with you.

If you're wondering why you have to go through all these hoops, it's because webhooks are incredibly powerful. I've got ones setup very similar that watch Reddit and Twitter about certain games I play, and it's exceptionally nice to have that stuff just magically pop up in our chatroom.

I'm making another that, while goofy, should scare a few people; when I show up at home after work, it 'announces' my presence before I log in :)

In past, I used to have raspberry pi, I host my bot on there at my home.

I moved to DitialOcean tho,

DO is not that expensive,depends on your options.

If you got github student pack, you can get $50 credits for free, let assume for 1 month, you only payed $5, that will be 10 months

So there that too.

You are right that it is a Proxy. Discord utilizes Cloudflare which has datacenters all around the world. So when you are pinging discord.com, you are pinging one of Cloudflare's servers that then proxies traffic back to us on US East Coast.

https://www.cloudflare.com/network/

In addition, Cloudflare's servers also act as a CDN, caching stuff like attachments, avatars, and even our app on a server physically close to you.

I am staff. And it looks like the way uBlock disables that breaks webRTC internally. It stops other web based voip apps from working as well.

Teamspeak still has that nonsense licensing requirement last I checked. I don't mind the idea of paying for services I get a lot of use out of, but $55USD/year for 64-slot server (just the license, not the actual instance!) was ridiculous already a decade ago.

well one of them is “early supporter” so an account that had nitro before nitro classic split off would be a start, also I don’t think you can join hype squad houses anymore so you’d need an acc that did.

Then for the rest you need nitro (probably full for the server boosts), to report multiple bugs to discord and to attend an IRL hype squad event

The hardest ones are: verified bot developer (you have to give your personal details to discord and might also need to have a bot in enough servers to do so), discord partner (minimum requirements are here: https://discord.com/partners ), and discord staff (self explanatory)

Though I’m not sure it’s possible to be a partner and staff at the same time. That’s why there likely isn’t anyone with all 9.

I’m not exactly sure how the partner badge works, so it might be permanent or you might just need to make videos part time while working at discord

https://discord.com/privacy

it literally says they share info with business partners. that means businesses pay them to become partners and then get info from discord, witch means "we sell your data"

I found a workaround to get the previous version of discord working. This may hopefully help you (and any others with the same issue.) Although, I hope discord fixes the bug with the new version. I have submitted a formal bug report on their site.

1: Go to %LocalAppdata%

2: Right click the Discord folder

3: Hit "Restore Previous Versions"

4: Open a previous folder ( https://vgy.me/fNitOA.png )

5: Copy your old app-0.0.297 version ( https://vgy.me/L0xZOd.png )

6: Paste it in your current %LocalAppdata%\Discord folder

7: Make your app-0.0.297 folder "Read-Only" (Right click->Properties, check read only. If it asks, pick "this folder, all subfolders and files")

8: Run the Discord.exe in your app-0.0.297 folder

It should now run fine. You may need to update desktop shortcuts, etc.

Edit: Clarified instructions

Go to https://haveibeenpwned.com/ and put in your email. It'll tell you if your email has been in any leaks and hacks recently.

I had this happen to me a couple weeks back, get a password manager program like LastPass and start changing all your passwords to really secure ones. Personally I use 22 character passwords with Letters, Numbers, and Special Characters. It's a lot harder for people to steal your information this way.

"Hopefully no one else has this problem & reports it!"

Are you trying to say that discord has been hacked and not that someone just knows your password?

Change your password, turn on two-factor auth, and put your email into https://haveibeenpwned.com/ to see if they got your password from another breach - if you don't reuse passwords, maybe you have malware.

Those Visual Studio Code Rich Presence status? It wasn't made by Microsoft themselves.

Those were just custom made rich presences made by people/some person. I've found an Atom alternative here.

But if you do wish official Rich Presence support, please consider convincing both parties.

I think it would be cool if bots were allowed to create those "minigames" via HTML5, like how Telegram has a Gaming Platform that allows bots to create games that can be played in the chat.

Annoyingly active text channels are things I tend to avoid, so I get where you're coming from, especially when people are sending messages at 60 MPH. I especially hate it when people talk in this format (sending a sentence one word at a time).

Well, Discord has to move on eventually as well, and even Microsoft isn't really supporting IE anymore.

I'd recommend another browser. If you can't, because you don't have admin privileges on the computer you're using, try Firefox Portable. https://portableapps.com/apps/internet/firefox_portable

What tool did you use tho? This thing happens to me when I opt out of "don't stack frames" in the GIF Maker. You could try using QuickTime to export the frames and then make the GIF again, with that option ticked.

You can use VB-Audio Cable as a basic audio device. When it's installed right click your audio icon in the bottom right and select Recording devices. Select the audio cable and go to properties, and then from there go to listen and check listen to this device, and select your Speakers.

Then, go to Discord and set your output device to be your speakers (not the default option) and every time you want them to hear the audio set your capture device to the VB Audio Cable instead of your microphone. Once you're done you can set it back to your microphone.

Now all you have to do if you're on Windows 10 is click on the volume icon so the volume slider appears and click the drop down box above the volume slider and set it to be the VB Audio Cable.

Now, all your system audio except Discord will be playing through that and they and you should be able to hear anything you play.

If you want them to be able to hear your microphone at the same time, then go to your recording devices again and enable listen on the microphone, but this time set it to output to the virtual audio cable. You'll be able to hear yourself, but so will they.

This is about as simple as it can get without using software like Voicemeeter Banana.

Here's the download to it: http://www.vb-audio.com/Cable/

You can set your microphone to play through your speakers. Here is a tutorial. (It works for Windows 10 too.)

Crowdin integration is not required if they really want to thank the translators for their effort. I am also pretty sure that Hypesquad badges are added manually by the staff.

They could post on the project's main page about it mentioning that translators who have translated a certain number of strings can be awarded a translator badge if they message one of the project managers with their DiscordTag, users are able to access these stats themselves by going to their crowdin profile and clicking on the three dots besides the Discord project.

I personally do not believe that crowdin integration is the problem and I am pretty sure that the devs want to show their appreciation to all translators, it's just that there are other features they are working on right now. Nevertheless, it would be neat to have translator badges as a way to thank the translators for their effort if the developers ever find time for it.

Dev response

> The privacy policy on our H&C site was written for our previous product, which was an iPad game called Fates Forever. We are currently writing a new one specifically for Discord. The gist is, perhaps unsurprisingly, that we collect information because it’s literally impossible to operate an internet service without collecting information. We are not in the business of selling data - we intend to sell customizables like stickers and skins directly to our users. We understand the whole “if you’re not paying, then you are the product” sentiment and that is not what’s going on here. We are a small startup that is working like crazy and just haven’t gotten around to implementing our store yet (e.g. this is one of the reasons we still call Discord an ‘Alpha’ version). So one example of how we use data is when you sign in to Discord we store your IP address so if you get banned from a server we prevent a user from creating a new account from the same IP to simply circumvent the ban and harass people. However we do intend to change this to use a hash of your IP so we don’t need to keep it around. Another thing we do is log what actions people take in Discord (like, join a server or invite a friend) so we can understand what features people are using and how we can make Discord more awesome. We mostly use https://mixpanel.com to do this but also have some data sent to google analytics.

We won't be providing self-hosting any time soon. If you're worried about privacy

Discord is 100% encrypted client to server. That means that every audio packet and every text message is sent through a secure connection between you and our server. No one can man in the middle it. We do not store or even inspect audio packets, but simply pass them around between people in the same channel. We DO store text messages on our server to allow for chat history so people can read messages they missed while offline.

sorry to hear this happened to you, i ran it on any.run and it shows most of everything it does (you might want to start doing this before opening random executables)
