    This is one of the bigger reasons I don’t want to use social media controlled by a corporation, it means they can choose to cut me off from people at their discretion, which will probably be based on what is convenient and easy for them.

    Same happened to me but with animal cruelty content or something. I tried to get the account back but turns out it was a “ban wave” so a lot of other people who got banned but were innocent were doing the same so discords services got overwhelmed by the appeals. Maybe they should have realized after that that this kinda banning is a horrible approach.

    I have no qualms about your getting banned for this.

    You are who you associate with. For example: trump associates with Epstein. Should he not be banned from discord?

      So, if anyone in this thread ever posts CP elsewhere on lemmy, or even here in this thread now that you’re already here, you think your acct should be wholly banned from lemmy because you are who you associate with?

        In your analogy this Lemmy thread and a discord group are the same. I disagree with this and would say the discord group would be more akin to joining a subreddit known for sharing that type of content.

        I am of course not giving anon the benefit of the doubt because of who they are.

          No, he didn’t say “I joined a CP discord group,” he said it was a discord group. To use your subreddit analogy, if you join a subreddit called like r/gaming or some shit where they post about games, and someone posts CP anytime after the date you joined, you should be banned even if you didn’t open the app that day.

          I’m not giving you the benefit of the doubt either, for all I know you’re on c/CP which I didn’t know existed, and I could be banned for arguing you here. Maybe I should block/report you just to be safe, hmm? Idfk what comms exist on Lenis . org or whatever your server is, sounds sketch tbh…

    This is why people should be worried of using these massive services, luckily it was ‘only’ Discord (if this was your primary way to interact with friends, this can be a huge deal).

    But imagine if it was your email account!

    Getting a reputable provider, self hosting or using a decentralized option is paramount for your own sanity.

      Currently having problems with GMail I lost my old phone (2fA) and no device was logged in so i could not access steam and like everything that requires that old mail

      And my phone provider or postal service is stupid because i could not get a replacement sim after multiple tries which normally works

      Googles account recovery policy is basically:

      • 2fA
      • recovery email
      • create a new account x.x

      I think the recovery mail option only gets unlocked after 6? months inactivity because ~3 months ago i did not have the option

      Now after requesting a recovery i still have to wait a full month before they maybe send me a password reset to my moms mail

      But steam support was nice. Managed to get the account by providing a product key i used a few months ago and was lucky enough not to have thrown the physical card away

          This is what I do as well. A few services force 2fa though and also have 0 good options (let me use my flipper as a u2f through not chrome, ungoogled-chromium works, but damn), and for those I’m forced to use text.

          While I’m here, anyone have a good chrome based browser that is private and can use serial ports for flashing meshtastic devices and u2f? Need android mainly because I have ungoogled-chromium on linux, but will take recs for linux too if there’s a better one.

        Presumption of innocence is a thing, you know?

        In 2020 some small servers (50-200 people per server) got cover banned with all their users, mostly for political talk, as far as I’m aware.

        I, personally, usually join such small servers while looking for lobby members in older games, I have a couple of them muted except for channels dedicated specifically to game lobbies. If someone starts an “illegal” talk in any other channel on one of these, why should I be held liable? Or am I suddenly obligated to hunt for pipe bomb recipes in any server I join?

          I mean if they have channels called like “CP Central” and the users all talk about how great the CP is on CP Central all the time then it really doesn’t matter how many messages you skip.

          My question is why do people feel the need to be in 40 servers? I couldn’t name 10 I give a shit about.

          As a user you’re voluntarily joining a server, you should know what the content is and how well it’s moderated. Ignorance isn’t a defense here; a server doesn’t get nuked for one bad actor posting illegal content once or twice.

          Nine times out of ten these stories are from a user that joins servers made for NSFW content (usually for something like OF leaks). There’s no content verification and lots of active channels.

          You don’t have to be a rocket scientist to realize that combo almost always ends poorly (see: reddit jailbait or old pornhub). If it feels risky just leave, there’s no lack of places to find porn on the internet.

          Edit: The downvotes and replies are hilarious. Have any of you actually been banned? Do you know anyone that has been banned? If these small servers for games or 10k member general servers were the issue, you’d hear about this way more.

          Discord doesn’t want to ban users, it’s bad for business. They know what servers you’re in and how you access them. If they think banning someone is worth it its to cover their ass on ACTUAL crime; nothing about this is thought crime.

          Again, give me any counter example of masses of users being unjustly banned. You’re tilting at windmills people…

Others are for different games, twitch communities, lots of subreddit discords since I haven’t used Reddit since the API bullshit… I should trim down the list but I like popping in to them occasionally, don’t feel like I should get banned due to activity in a server I rarely check

            1-3 for friend groups, 3-20 for various games because devs decided to stop using traditional forums so if you want to talk shit to a game devs face regarding changes that fix the exploit you’ve been using to have fun you have to pretend to be a discord kitten for months and gain their confidence so you can appropriately deal enough psychic damage to repay what they took from you, 5-10 for foss software collaboration, 5-10 for obscure porn game contribution so it stops taking ten fucking months between updates.

              *for telling people they are responsible for what others do in a chatroom they may look at once and then ignore.

              I am in discords I never engage with, but literally only have as a place I can search for answers, like a niche alternative to stack overflow. It is absurd for me to be held to the standard of policing everything that happens on those servers just in case some of it might be bad. Discords can also have permissions limited viewing. Are we supposed to know what happens in the channels we can’t see?

              More importantly, despite how much work it is to do so, punishments have to be applied on an individual level. Punishing people who are in a class is too vague.

              how is it my problem if an emote server i joined years ago and never even opened since turns bad?

              how is it my problem that a hidden channel i never saw broke TOS?

              people get banned for both

              get off people’s asses for not being discord batmans hunting down TOS violations across every channel, every day in every server they join. we’re not paid discord admins and we’re not doing their goddamn work for them, besides even those reporting can get banned.

              content like this should be removed yes but proximity to it shouldn’t get you banned. Do you think it would be a good idea to arrest an entire block of flats because one resident turned out to be a criminal? Do you think it would be bright to expect every single resident to have figured out a crime was about to happen and leave for the duration of it?

            I mean, Lemmy used to have a big issue with CSAM being spammed by malicious users. Many people believed that it was pro-Reddit trolls, because it started happening right around the same time as the giant API debacle. It was a huge liability for the instance owners, because their server would automatically cache the content and they could be held liable for the CSAM being present on their server. It took a few months of dev time to add moderation tools, blacklisting, setting up automods, etc before it finally calmed down to the point that instance owners felt comfortable again.

            By your logic, every single user in instances that got spammed should be banned. Because even if they didn’t see it, or interact with it in any way, they’re still personally responsible for it. After all, personal responsibility doesn’t stop existing in a large group of people.

              Lemmy is celebrating cracking 50,000 users. Discord has 200 million MAU. They take a broader approach to punishment because it’s the only feasible way to avoid legal problems.

              IIRC some Lemmy instances were defederated at that time for poor moderation and nobody complained. Its a reasonable approach to avoid liability.
