discord and twitter…
If they enjoy discord, they are likely okay with Twitter. At best you would see Discord on Bluesky.

I haven’t used discord for a couple of years. got an email yesterday informing me that unless I log in soon, my account will be deleted.
…oh no
I’m going to let them delete it, saves me having to
They keep your messages around if you account gets deleted. You have to use an alternative tool to delete them
Why do something yourself when someone is more than willing to do it for you!
There’s no way these companies actually delete anything, ever. You can probably still get myspace pictures, and that company was before Facebook.
Deleted my reddit account only to find my comments were still there. So I’m guessing Discord messages will still be there - I wonder what happens to servers with no admin.
They just stay up, but nobody has access to the controls anymore, the admin account shows as “Deleted User”. I know this, because the server my late friend hosted, is still up, even though their account got nuked couple years back.
I don’t want to leave “my” server in an unalterable state but at the same time I don’t want to encourage Discord use though my action (assuming I ever log in again, need to say how to contact me or say bye).
That only took a decade to get done. Good job!
To be fair, it wasn’t the fault of Discord this time. The Wayland developers took their time, because they couldn’t agree (until now).
The global shortcuts portal is four years old.
It wasn’t finished and final about one or two months before. They were discussing the global shortcuts portal for about 10 years, with different portals and revisions, and they just couldn’t agree on. Now its official and final recommendation. Some desktop environments used some draft versions, and everyone did it in a slightly different way, so that it wasn’t a real standard yet. And many other window managers or desktop environments didn’t even attempt it. Therefore many tools didn’t use the half baked portal and chaos everywhere.

That’s just complete made up nonsense.

That’s not how anything works. An API getting further refinements and improvements - almost exclusively in documentation - doesn’t make it “not final” or “not a real standard”.
And many other window managers or desktop environments didn’t even attempt it
Some niche WMs not suppporting an API doesn’t matter to most app developers.
Wouldn’t want that malware on my machine. So sick of every online community default to the shithole that is Discord.
Oh my god. Push to talk.
:o
Holy fuck.
Linux didn’t have the most basic voice chat function up to now??? :O
They STILL don’t???

It was an issue with Wayland. Before that we had X11, where global shortcuts wasn’t an issue.
Apple phones used to have headphone jacks, removable batteries, and expandable memory.
How is this relevant to our discussion?
They lost everything, you lost the shortcuts to everything
We didn’t lost shortcuts to everything. It’s only about global shortcuts, all other still work. And given the Wayland global shortcuts are now functional and officially supported, its not the same situation anymore. The difference to iPhones is, that you cannot do anything about it on iPhone. On Wayland however desktops environments such as KDE, GNOME and Hyperland could implement a custom variant (or the draft version of the portal) and have it functional; it was just not a standard.
So no, the situation is not entirely comparable. We are not at mercy by one single company.
Ahhh, blame it on Wayland. I see how it is.
You know that the Wayland portal for global shortcuts took 10 years discussions before they finally settled in, right? Off course it is to blame the Wayland devs (those responsible for this portal), not Discord.
HOLY FUCK
This person on the internet gives a shit! Going back to your webshit browser only adds .25 seconds on tiling and .5 on floating. So much time to do useful stuff, like playing your games with strangers on the interwebs!
Also
Linux didn’t have the most basic voice chat function up to now??? :O
WHO the actual FUCK submitted voice chat to the Linux mailing list? Was it some
@redhat.comguy again? Or was it some LLM owned by Broadcom? Torvalds accepts anything at this point, he got the AI psychosis. Oh, you are talking about Discord, and specifically the .deb files from their website people fuck with to run, only to have another copy of Chromium? Holy fucking shit.
I’m so confused. I am on KDE Wayland and have been using push to talk for like a year now. What even is this?
The ability to use push to talk while Discord is not the focused window.
I know, it’s been working
Through an x.org passthrough hack, now it works without opening up the ability to be keylogged by the client.
It had been working for me until it somehow didn’t. Not quite sure why. I did had to setup KDE to allow global shortcuts for Discord but that no longer seems to be working for me.
Maybe it previously only kind of worked depending on setup? I remember I had trouble and I think I remember implementing a “fix” but at some point it stopped working for me.
From what I understand, what they’re doing now will work on all systems.
Discord is rolling out global…
Goddamnit, what bullshit are they doing now?!?!
shortcut support (e.g. Push to Talk) on Wayland for Linux users
Oh… Well we got good news for once
I can’t imagine the venn diagram of people who still use discord and people who game on linux has that much of an overlap does it? Like cmon it’s got to be the worst possible of all the options. You’d be more secure sending a plaintext email to someone.
I’m one of them lol. Hate discord but there is no choice if i wanna play with friends.
Are these friends who you know well? If so why can your entire friend group not move to a different solution together? Do they refuse to?
I couldn’t even name a alternative solution besides teamspeak 😅 And team speak was dead for years, no idea how their reboot is currently doing. But even if there are better and free solutions, people use what’s convenient to them. There is zero reason for the billion WhatsApp users to not switch to signal, still most of them never even think about switching.
Most gaming communities are on Discord. I game on Linux, and we don’t use Discord in my friend group, but I am still in tens Discord servers. I don’t get to choose where these communities are. There are even several non-gaming-relating communities I am part of that primarily exist on Discord.
Discord is unfortunately still wildly popular, even amongst Linux users
The overlap in the venn diagram is far from a circle, but it’s bigger than you’d think
Wow and to think I could have gone without knowing that and that it would have had absolutely no impact on my life whatsoever. Crazy. Makes you think. About burritos or something. Certainly not about Discord on Linux though.
I’d rather stick with vesktop thanks
Does PTT work on vesktop? Because I cannot make it work there
No idea, I just don’t wanna touch the unmodified version cause it’s got so much spyware and unwanted features, which vesktop let’s me turn some of those off
Meh, I already have a global mute shortcut. I have a keyboard shortcut for this script I found somewhere that toggles mic audio capture in ALSA.
mic_on=$(amixer get Capture | grep '\[on\]')if [ "$mic_on" = "" ] ; thenamixer set Capture toggle && paplay /usr/share/sounds/ocean/stereo/device-added.ogaelseamixer set Capture toggle && paplay /usr/share/sounds/ocean/stereo/device-removed.ogafiThis will mute all applications. While a workaround for your setup, on other use cases it wouldn’t work if the user wants to mute a specific application only.
Who uses Linux thats still on discord ? Thats like non compat lol
It’s how I stay in touch with friends. I use Vesktop. Flatpak. Removes the tracking
Edit: appreciate the concern, but we talk about games and stuff. I’m not doing banking or personal shit on discord. If China records whatever is said, not too worried about PII
Some of the tracking. They still store your messages you send in plain text and who knows what they do with that!
Uhh they still store all your images photos and voice. And likely use your voice for ai training.
Why not just open a web browser tab and go to Discord webpage?
TypeScript
damn. Gonna stick to slidcord until it gets fixed.
I found out the other week that its the only social media I have left. Except LinkedIn but in this economy…?
Anyway, its my most reliable way to talk to all of my friends and half my family, and I hate it. But hey, at least its not Facebook.
I run fedora for my main pc, cachyos on my laptop and ubuntu server for the home server PC - for the Linux street cred.
I hate to say it but Lemmy is also social media.
Fair enough, corpo owned then I guess I meant
I just reorganized some bookmarks and thought about how can I unite Lemmy and Imgur in one group; Social. I have no idea how this could be categorized other than being social media. Any ideas welcome.
Is that irony, and/or are the likes ironic? This is social media.
The likes are for my fabulous Linux distro choices. At least that’s what I’m deciding they’re for.
And yeah probably meant corpo owned socials
Very clever to mention multiple distros
Sometimes there isn’t a choice because others you’re in contact with prefer discord.
Not sure how you weren’t able to think this for yourself?
If you don’t support their choice to use discord, perhaps they will leave discord and go to something better. The same applies to twitter, instagram, facebook etc
“Not sure how you weren’t able to think this for yourself?”
Be the change
Yep, thats me. People can’t make the smallest change to get away from evil corpo shit then sucks for them.

I’m not sure why I’d be installing actual Discord on Linux; I’m sure there should be an open-source fork somewhere that’s less resource-hungry and less intrusive to the system… Just saying.
“fork” implies there’s code to fork
I moved my community to stoat. Early development so it’s quite jank as fuck, but so was discord when it was new.
Stoat has had plenty of time to fix those bugs but rather would focus on nonsense that nobody needs
Stop using Discord. If you’re choosing Discord over a good Matrix client like Sable because of minor frictions, your choosing your own convenience over the lives of other people.
Making the change is isn’t some huge lifestyle transition. It’s just using a decentralised method to achieve the exact same thing.
Wow. Amazing! I use it in a browser when I need it then close the tab when I don’t, you know, like a reasonable person? I am not installing more Chromium to not only spy on me but literally also tell everyone what I am doing unless I go out of my way to opt out (the toggle will just turn back on whenever it feels like it).
I bet they did some dumb shit like subscribe every single QWERTY 101 key.
Vesktop
Still a browser. Abaddon is nice but no feature parity (especially compared to browser + equicord, I am using like 1 plugin from there rn).
