Is Discord inherently "more safe" than Skype like they claim, or is it equally unsafe, unsecure garbage with backdoors?
>>55104538
Just quit being a little paranoid bitch and find a client that works.
>>55104547
I'll take that as a no.
Of course not. All software is prone to bugs and all software is prone to backdoors.

I remember those emojis.
Curse is better.
mumble is encrypted by default
I never heard of discord, but i bet that unlike skype it doesnt show you burger ads when you chat with someone
>>55105057
Do people even use IM software anymore? Or do they all just use Facebook?
>>55105314
Those aren't emojis, they are emoticons. Emoji specifically refers to the set of emoticon like symbols in Unicode
Install Ring you fucking pleb.

Dammit, I was enjoying it too. Ignorance is bliss.
Anyway, how easy is it to set up Teamspeak?
>>55113328
why use teamspeak when mumble exists
Why is Discord the only VoIP with a decent UI?
* proprietary
* VC funded with no solid plans on how to make money beyond those funds
* will likely crumble when they realize selling $1 emoticon packs do not sustain their expenses
* will likely have to enforce restrictions and charge for "servers" in tiers, most people won't pay for this shit so they'll leave
* plenty of other solutions like mumble which are free, open source, encrypted and are painless to setup and maintain (if any maintenance is required)
* only benefit is it's easy to use, so as expected normies flock to it like flies to garbage
i just need the linux client... it doesnt works web
>>55113328
>Anyway, how easy is it to set up Teamspeak?
both teamspeak and mumble are piss easy to setup, mumble even easier if you get a cheap VPS like off ramnode
for example on ramnode:
1. disable root, setup pubkey auth only and rate limiting for ssh, (changing port will help cut down on fluff in logs)
2. install mumble
3. setup unattended upgrades for security
4. never touch it again
bonus: occasionally login and update the murmur binary
>tfw literally every gaming community, from 4chan to reddit to neogaf to whateverfuckingelse use Discord now
It's gotten to the point where I choose guilds based on whether they use Mumble or not.
>>55104538
they are both closed source so you don't know if it's more secure but I would personally go for Discord since Skype has a bad track record of spying on it's users and crashing and being slow so I would use Discord to be a little more safe, but if you wanna go full privacy tinfoil mode then use Jitsi, Ring.cx, Mumble, encrypted IRC, Retroshare etc
>>55104824
TOX got btfo by STI of all fucking people like 4 years ago.
>>55104977
China. How would they read my messages? It's in another language
>>55107998
>https://ring.cx/
Basically Tox, but without the fragmentation?
The issue with the decentralized system is that people want to be able to login from different computers, and not have to hassle about re-adding all of their friends.
Regardless, Ring or Tox, the only people who are going to use them are the people who aren't already using Skype or Discord-like software.
I like Discord, because there are fans of MLP there
if you're using anything other than discord gtfo grandpa
>>55104538
The only thing you can't fully control with some dedication is the server.
There are dozens of inofficial APIs either wrapping around the official API, or implementing their own methods of processing the data received from the discord servers.
If you're truly paranoid, go and implement a discord client with end-to-end encryption for you and your friends to use. That's a pain in the ass to do properly, but it's an option you're not even given with skype.
If, however you're worried about the NSA, the Chinese Government and your mommy finding out who you're talking to (social graphs and shit), I think there's no solution to that possible with Discord.
>>55104538
It's like an IRC + TS with a gui on top for gayming.
Currently it's "ok" (not privacy wise), but shit's gonna stop fast being free, cause they are losing money fucking fast.
They have a huge dev team, huge infrastructure, and no business plan. lol.
Discord doesn't claim to be more secure as in their servers or your data is more hidden from others eyes, they claim that it's more secure because there's virtually no way to obtain somebody's IP address through both of you being connected to the same server or voice channel.
With Skype it is incredibly easy to get somebody's IP, not with Discord.
>>55104538
Skype is a backdoor hellhole.
If you know how; block this address: https://apps.skype.com.
As far as Discord, it's good. It has things it needs to implement and is still a new program. The devs are actively working to make it better and listen to their users more so than microsoft does. Specifically the Skype community.
It works on multiple platforms and has fewer intentional backdoors than skype. Ever since Microsoft fucking bought Skype it has gone to the shit-house quickly. For example, every update takes away options and introduces ad revenue for microsoft in the guise of a "functionality update".
All my friends are on skype and we're slowly migrating to Discord. But we still use skype for video and our friends list.
As far as the other programs most of these 14y/o circle-jerk enthusiasts claim that are superior; it boils down to your friends list. Wherever they are you should be too. Unless you want to live in a cabin in the woods to keep the gubment away from yer delicious secrets.

Anon, you don't actually own a computer, do you?
>>55119632
I do. Any software can have a backdoor built into it. Not sure why this would provoke such a reaction from you.
>>55104538
Well it isn't a bloated piece of shit for one thing.
>>55119657
Feels small and slick, works way faster than Skype does.
We switched to Discord for videogame voice communication and couldn't be any happier.
Especially it's nice how easy it is to invite new people - by just giving them one link they can join in seconds.
>>55105057
I remember you, msn-chan.
>>55119649
the term "backdoor" implies intent, it was intentionally put there.
There are critical software bugs that can be just as bad, but those are generally not called backdoors unless they were intentionally put in
>>55104538
it's not Free software so it inherently is unsafe, unsecure garbage with backdoors. After all, if they had nothing to hide, they'd have nothing to fear and would just publish the sources.
>>55120497
Backdoors can be intentionally can be put into any software.

Find one security professional on their team. Hint: you can't
The only security they claim is DDoS protection from their "cloud infrastructure". Meaning they rented a server from amazon. Gamers don't know anything about cybersecurity except the DDoS bogeyman that takes down game servers temporarily so that's good enough for them.
