LinuxCNC Discord? (for chat & support)

Discord is based in San Fransisco. They are monetized through premium accounts. Investor info can be found here. craft.co/discord I have nothing to say about China because it's well outside the scope of this thread, but I have no reason to believe that Discord is anything other than a western owned, operated, and funded company.

Oh goodie, had a look and found why they peddle so hard, have a look from their website:

They sell data.
So the statement "They are monetized through premium accounts" just sunk. Quick, call Jacques Cousteau ... oh he dead !

So there you have it. Doesn't matter where the money comes from. Show me a capitalist that will resist the opportunity to make another buck. Let's face it:
Just because it's "western" owned and financed does not make it any better, because they ALL steal your data. Just read a Microsoft EULA. They basically don't see it as "stealing" because they consider it to be their data in the first place. Yet it's happily used in companies and governments all over. And that's not even "free" software!

The screenshot posted was about Craft, not Discord. Craft is a firm that researches businesses and their financials. Discord is a chat service. Craft is not Discord, so their policy of selling data does not reflect on Discord.

Craft is the owner of discord.

I have joined a german machinst discord. I have logged in a few times but just dont get the appeal. Maybe I am missing some key feature??

Discord---> I would have named it "Disjointed". It seems the same "structure" of chat as you get at the bar of a busy rugby club. 20 different conversations all crossing each other. Might be nice if you are lonely and want a bit of company, but seems useless as a technical support interface, or even to chat about complex long term technical problems (which we create for ourselves through our weird taste in CNC stuff).
