3. Post Linux-related content
- Including Unix and BSD.

in Windows. - No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
4. No recent reposts

Good that you've both found a way to feel superior to others
Completely unrelated, what are the privacy concerns from discord?
And by commenting this, you're now on top with the superiority complex, lol. Getting to feel superior to both of us, bravo.
god i love linux forums, some things never change
Sorry, that accusation expires after one use in conversation.
Discord is built on Chromium, which is the main concern I have heard. I've yet to see any evidence that they're mining user data, which is a valid concern. They've done a shockingly good job of funding themselves without selling user info thus far.
to my cynical ass, this just looks like they (and their investors) are more interested in being acquired (with their treasure trove of user data fully exclusive) than in opening up short term revenue streams.
Isn't tencent one of they're largest investors and China forces data collection from these company atleat this is something ive heard mentioned
