"most of my friends are on there" doesn't make a platform good, and doesn't mean we shouldn't discourage people from using it. But, aside from that, it's probably a bad idea to have an account that is connected to real life friends also connected to internet communism.
Makes it good for me and my life. I dont organize on there and dont think people should. And neither are people arguing about olive oil on a gaming discord, whether it happens to be connected to Hexbear or not.
Also these arent real life friends i dont have those anymore.
Security heads are like the lamest people alive. The gestapo are not going to come for you for shitposting on Hexbear or discord. If they come for you, itll be because you did something that actually threatens power. If you think Hexbear does that, youre a self-important maroon. Hexbear doesnt do organizing. We barely do education.
Also, discord and hexbear accounts arent linked in any way.
Discord is the reason Im a real anti imperialist. More than hexbear is i learned shit on Redpixel lol. And i formed a social support network on there that has kept me from offing myself. I dont have irl friends anymore like i said. My discord friends keep me alive after my one remaining irl friend dumped me over a stupid misunderstanding (which admitedly happened on discord, but thats how we kept in touch during the pandemic).
Its just a comminication platform. And the server system is very useful. Only thing i dont like about it is that helpful information is stored on privatre servers and not searchable online. Death of forums ect ect.
My main opposition to Discord isn't really security, but rather that it's proprietary. I'm a bit extreme when it comes to that, the computer I'm writing this from is literally running linux-libre.
The OpSec part doesn't hurt either, but it's mainly just a way to convince other people to stop using proprietary platforms.
I mean thats fair i guess i just dont think its really all that useful to try to get people to leave proprietary platforms personally. Sorry for assuming.
Strange thing to say considering this free website had to be founded after the users were hounded off a proprietary platform for endorsing the killing of slaveowners.
It's against Discord community guidelines[1], but their enforcement is terrible. If someone ever bothered to report you for saying that, there's a fair chance you could get banned.
[1] https://discord.com/guidelines says, pretty specifically, "Do not threaten to harm another individual or group of people" and "Do not organize, promote, or support violent extremism. This also includes glorifying violent events or the perpetrators of violent acts". Endorsing killing slaveowners falls under both of those. Here on Hexbear the CoC is worded so doing so is not a violation.
Disagree. Its a very convenient platform to me and most of my friends are on there.

I can say that freely on discord.
