    ‘ We will undertake a third-party audit by an organization active in researching the spread of hate and racism to observe how Discord works, how we enforce our policies, and to make recommendations for us to be more effective. And we’ll share what we learn so others in the industry can make use of their expertise.
    We are investing significant engineering resources internally to develop software to find and manage abuse proactively. We commit to an open source strategy, which means other companies can benefit and build on what we learn. We hope this also inspires companies to release their tools so users can benefit across platforms.’

    Analysis and consultations with others has led us to one conclusion. This statement is spelling out in no uncertain terms the use of Algorithmic Monitoring.

    This is bad for a variety of reasons but not the least of which being able to shape the Algorithm however they choose.

    When located alternatives for my primary discord servers i’ll be deleting my account on discord. But i post this as a warning to all Geeks and Gamers fans and recommend finding your own alternatives. Sooner Than Later.

    Ugh. I hated Discord anyways. If something better comes along, I’ll definitely move my MMO guild someplace else.

      I was just kicked from the discord for no reason. I hopped in the call and all of a sudden I was disconnected and kicked. I have no idea what I did wrong.

      Would Matrix be a good safe alternative to Discord?

      I used to use Discord and had to leave it because of the video that Techlore brought up about it before this article came out

      I heard them say Matrix is like an open sourced version of Discord, what do you guys think. I miss being able to talk to the G+G Community on Discord and I wonder could Matrix be a good alternative to bring me back to that community without the invasive tracking.
