And jabber?

It was always very impressive how solo managed to rig together so many authentication programs and sites.

If by "jabber and mumble" you mean "not discord," it's because discord is third party. You can't control the servers, and the counterintel aspect of eve simply can't be done there. Also, it's relatively simple for a poorly-socialized, undershowered individual to get a discord server shut down by flagrantly abusing the ToS, then reporting the server.

Don't expect GSF to move to discord ever.

I recall that TEST moved to Discord a couple years ago and I wonder how that's going for them. One of my coworkers used to be their logistics director and I think he's still in their Discord regularly.

Lmao, of course spying on you is it’s only redeeming quality. :bravo:

While not impossible, I am skeptical on it being that easy to shut a community down considering how many of these exist out there that would already having nerds trying to shut it down. Test using it for one should be all the proof needed.

Yeah, I'll admit that it's pretty far fetched. You'd have to post stuff so flagrantly awful that just possessing the materials to post in the first place is in and of itself a crime. While essentially no well-adjusted people play Eve, the level of depravity to pull that kind of stunt is (mercifully) rare even among Eve players.

Still, it's a possibility. The counterintel stuff is the primary reason, I'd assume.

Jabber and mumble require dedicated, otherwise-unused applications to access, and neither work well on phones. drat near everyone else, especially zoomers, uses Discord. The desire to consolidate is real.

Hey, when they release an open source server backend so you can host your own discord server, I'm sure GSF will be first in line. 'Til then, looks like it's Jabber and Mumble. Third party hosting only is a hard blocker for us.

BIG VINCE COMIN FOR YOU
yes please use discord so people can take advantage of vulnerabilities to do such cool things as “override server permissions and client volume to blast a channel full of people with max volume noise”

discord is probably one of the best services out there for gaming, but it is not appropriate for mass EVE comms - the simple fact that you can’t even do cross channel comms/no chatter comms would be enough of a reason.

It is very important that I consolidate my chat applications, so that I can get pinged for internet spaceships on the same program that houses my Roblox streamer fanboy chat room. It's because Discord is an electron.js nightmare, and my computer can't run anything else.

In order:

1. Infosec
2. Counterintel
3. The absolute loving nightmare that is Discord permissions hierarchy
4. 6 to 10 THOUSAND nerds in one voice channel on a platform designed mostly for small groups in each voice channel
5. No voice chat interlinking so FCs can privately confer, then shout at the nerds in their fleet without crosstalk.

Karmafleet has a discord, and its used mostly for just chatting and being social. Having the biggest corp sit on a different service to jabber though is probably why jabber is so dead these days. Like I get it but also wtf were you thinking splitting people up between different services like that. Either have everyone on discord for social stuff or don't have a discord.

Also with no roles I can just do this and see the entire server, and even the motds, and I'm not using an exploit or anything like that, just a different client. Discord is notoriously insecure.

I don't think goonwaffe has any input on what the gently caress karmafleet does with comms, though yes discord is hilariously insecure and hard to protect from someone who wants to get information.

Not that my opinion is important, but Discord is great for corps and poo poo for alliance level stuff.

The former is more social focused shitposting, the latter needs to be run and managed properly. That said, I would love something a bit more modern than what XMPP + Pidgin can offer.

Hey, at least jabber spies have to, like, change their IP and poo poo. Discord means that if your spy gets got, you just shrug, mailinator another discord account, and get back within an hour.
