A while ago I've noticed Discord using 8-10% of my CPU every time I open Task Manager. This doesn't really sound weird... Until you realize this is when my Discord client is NOT running (AKA after I fully exit out of it so it's not even present in the tray area on the right side of the taskbar). From what I can tell, it's using about 400MB of memory, no disk or network and about 8% of CPU (I have 6 cores/12 threads and that 8-10% seems to be distributed among all of them). It's possible it uses disk and network in short bursts after a long period of inactivity, but I havent spotted it doing that so far). If I were to kill Discord.exe in the task manager - it would go away and not come back until I restarted my computer. At first, I didn't think much of it - I thought maybe it's doing some background update or something, but it is constant, it doesn't go away unless I kill it. When I run Discord - another Discord entry appears in the task manager - the suspicious one seems unaffected. Both entries take me to the same file when I click "Open file location". The file seems normal and signed by Discord. What is going on here? Do you guys also have this going on or is it just me? I'm getting some really sus vibes ngl. I suspect a discord bug/unoptimized code, 3rd party malware or Discord itself secretly doing some malicious thing.

They supposedly can be disabled in settings- but we all know that won't last. They're going full Microsoft Skype mode and it's only a matter of time.

Forced arbitration means any legal disputes you may have with Discord must be resolved through a single third party mediator, who 99% of the time is chosen by, and will rule in favor of, the corporation/Discord. This effectively removes all your legal rights as a consumer, because arbitration decisions are legally binding and non-appealable.

The new ToS goes into effect April 15th, 2024.

YOU CAN OPT OUT OF ARBITRATION. You must email arbitration-opt-out@discord.com BEFORE MAY 15TH (30 days after ToS effective date) with your username stating that you wish to opt out of the arbitration clause. Once May 15th passes you are bound to arbitration with Discord forever.

Opt-out before it's too late.

I've been logged into Discord for a while, but I came on ten minutes to check my notifications. One of the messages was a friend request, which I accepted.

A split second after I pressed Clyde's greeting feature, it logged me out of Discord on its own. I went to log back in and it asked me to re-verify my email address. I found it startling since Discord has known my email address for years.

I got in fine and everything seems to be where it was left after the last time I closed the site, but things like that make me wonder if I'm supposed to ask if something else is up. Did Discord think I spammed (it definitely didn't say so), was it a new development in routine, was it a glitch, etc. Protocol is unstatic on there which is why I ask.

Isn't your active developer badge supposed to be removed if your bot hasn't been used in 60 days? I have an account with an active developer badge and it has never been removed. The bot used to claim the badge hasn't be used for months, but I have never gotten a warning about the badge expiring on that account. I have another account with the badge and every 60 days I get a warning, so I know this isn't normal. Could my account be bugged or could it have something to do with the policy change for the badge?

@discordapp you're relly Discord or fake?

I uploaded a test exe in a private Discord server.. and a little while later Discord edited my message and deleted my exe. Understandable why, but still unexpected!

Hey @discordapp How about stop making the stupid fucking theme thing appear EVERY fucking time I go to a new server? It's obnoxious.

oh noes. @discordapp is down!? halp!

Me: "do not allow Discord to run in fullscreen mode"
@discordapp : "i am going to disregard this Android injunction"

Most people who use Discord have heard of the concept of raiding. Raiding is where you overwhelm a Discord server with an influx of new members trying to make the server unusable by filling it with junk messages so nobody can communicate in it. This is against the site rules, and there's even a report option for it.

My question though is, does the opposite apply, where if you pressure people into not joining a Discord server, you can get reported? For example, I have enemies in high places cough cough Inkblot dot art cough cough and they're trying to "unraid" me, that is, get people to shame anyone associated with me. I'm wondering if the same logic applies according to the site.

Discord is not meant to be a private messenger. And you really shouldn't use it as one!

I wish @discordapp offered a "mute" in addition to a full block for users.
And that other users wouldn't be able to tell whether they've been muted.

Trying to understand how to navigate the iOS version of the #Discord app using Voiceover. Can anyone tell me how to select a channel? I see the current channel shown as a heading, but I can't seem to bring up a channel list. #a11y @discordapp

I'm finding Clyde to be especially stupid recently, and it's to the point where I'm doubting it's even running on ChatGPT anymore? At the very least its EXTREMELY different to how it was when I first tried Clyde. I haven't seen anyone else talking about this. Does anyone know more?
