refalo , to Privacy in GrapheneOS Now Supports a Duress Reset PIN

something something destruction of evidence

refalo , to Privacy in Using Discord in a private way?

thanks for the recommendation, but unfortunately due to my privacy settings, most cloudflare sites do not work, I just get endless "are you human" prompts that never go away.

Plus any site that uses crimeflare isn't private anyway because they can MITM all your traffic including credit card info etc.

And for anyone to actually go through the trouble of cloning a flash chip, you'd have to be an extremely high profile target.

That small group of people gives you plausible deniability, there's no way to prove who it was. And the more you open it up for others to use, the more likely it wasn't you.

That could potentially open them up to legal problems. Whether it's technically legal or not, nobody wants the possibility of their livelihood being taken away by court costs just because some idiot who is wrong wants to fight them and lose anyway, because they can afford it and you can't (and often times they know it).

I once paid for access to a stock options trading group, but they only used discord. Their website had no other contact info at all. My discord account got randomly banned (it happened right after I joined an innocent server, but maybe because a bunch of people were joining at once, that triggered it? idk), so I could no longer use the service I was paying for. The service auto-renewed on my credit card and I had no way to contact the people to cancel my account (couldn't even make a new discord account). I had to dispute the charge with my CC company and it took months of back and forth with them because they simply could not understand that I could no longer access the only method of support that they offered.

The biggest issue IMO is the random phone-walling. Eventually, all the things you try to do to increase privacy will just cause Discord to force your account into phone verification. This happened to me many times. It's now to the point where I cannot even sign up for discord whatsoever because it immediately transitions from the logged in screen to "something suspicious going on" and forces you to give out a personal mobile number, which I refuse.

Maybe, but then people disagreeing with those defaults leads to the massive amount of fragmentation and "too many choices" we are now dealing with in the FOSS world.

I would consider any amount of time passed causing breakage to be a design problem.
