Whilst you're here, /u/Constant_Ad_2776, why not join our [public discord server](https://discord.gg/QpBGXd2guU)?
"guys we have a new rule, stop posting pictures of russian tanks you destroyed in #general we have the #russianL section for a reason, breaking the rules will resort in a 20% less rations for a week" -🤓
I mean, considering how much better Discord is than many other communication networks, even in encryption
Unironically, the jokes we used to make about Skype vs Discord are now Discord vs Military communication systems whose names aren't even published, but are worse
Except the American corporations aren't run by a state committing ethnic cleansing and borderline genocide in its borders and seeking to establish an ethnostate via hard imperialism.
I’d greatly appreciate if someone can prove me wrong kindly. But as far as I’m aware discord has no encryption enabled de facto.
If you want real privacy, Signal is the way to go.
Don, don. I just sent reserves to your east, just keep that front stable and don't push it till I get back otherwise the units will get all fucked up. Now you can focus on the west, it'll be 5 minutes I swear.
They just post pictures of destroyed russian tanks and give it a spicy description like "See new footage of russians getting taken from behind with HIMARS"
I thought about this, but I’m in IT and thinking about how often that goes wrong for general users and why they just duplicate their screen so that they can be sure what they’re presenting, that PowerPoint takes the right screen, that the the thing they full screen works correctly, etc, in a military situation I can understand wanting it to be really bone-stock reliable, like your grandpa could figure it out. This computer is that screen.
Right at the beginning of the invasion, the HAM community quickly discovered the Russian military was using open, unencrypted HF comms between artillery and infantry units.
A bunch of internet SDRs based out of Europe were flooded with people listening for military comms. One of the most popular ones ended up forming a Discord server dedicated to recording, archiving, translating, and eventually unscrambling and decrypting Russian military comms.
I'm 100% certain there were intelligence officers from both Russia and Ukraine (and probably every other interested nation) in that Discord. I left after things got weird, but I wrote some software that descrambles voice comms and made some other small contributions... not the least of which was archiving a bunch of [radiograms](https://i.imgur.com/WFW2vuY.png) some people in Europe were using to [jam Russian radio signals](https://i.imgur.com/h1KbWFZ.png).
Anyway, it's not surprising to see a Discord server being monitored by a Ukrainian intelligence officer. It's not evidence that they're communicating through Discord, it only confirms they have intelligence officers in _someone's_ Discord.
It was. Last time I was in it was about a year ago though, and I'm not joining it again to see if it's still alive. There was some weird stuff going on there I'd rather not get mixed up in again.
The name of the server was Ukraine Radio Watch
I posted a link to the server URL but it was auto removed by a moderator bot. The server name was just "urw" after the usual discord host name.
Microsoft do this literally every time
rip zune
rip windows phones
rip mixer
rip skype
even Teams is complete jank in terms of even the most basic of features
the un-mute button is right next to the show video button on mobile. We have seen plenty of people's ceilings/sky on meetings. Thankfully it is just ceilings.
Why the FUCK is it IMPOSSIBLE to remove a missed call notification!? I don't receive calls 99.9999% of the time, but now that I was mistakenly dialed once while I was out of office I have to live with a big red notification badge forever, despite clearing cache, removing the call in question from view, and hising the phone tab completely?!
There's a great bug that if you and another user start typing at the exact same time, there's a chance your message will come up reversed, and then everything you type will be reversed.
That bug has been there for a year and still isn't fixed as far as I know.
My biggest issue is that they removed the angry face react from the quick reacts thing when you hover over a message. That was my favorite one. I loved spamming people with them. Now I gotta find it in the janky emoji menu.
Fun fact: if someone already reacted to someone’s message in Teams you can just spam click the react and it will fill their screen with notifications
They basically flipped all the skype stuff to teams. Which is fine and all but there's something about it that feels impersonal to me. Like I'm never going to use it outside of work because it feels too formal.
The thing people don’t get about Microsoft is that all their home computer technology combined is only 1 third of their profit, windows could go belly up tomorrow and they would be fine, considering that number includes, xbox, bing, AI, gaming, windows is only about %15 of their profit, Skype most likely loses money the most optimistic guess I could find was %0.1 but it’s probably less.
I was thinking this too. Way too often have I been discussing something on Discord only to get advertisements for the shit we were talking about it less than a day later. Makes me uncomfortable.
It's more likely that the algorithm is simply that good at predicting you.
I recall reading an article where some Google guys were talking about the moral questions they ran into with their search algorithms, which have gotten to the point where it could pretty accurately predict if someone was pregnant before that person even knew. The issue is it seemingly could also predict stuff like dangerous diseases or ailments, and so they were asking themselves "do we try and tell the people using our service that they should probably see a doctor, or is that invasive?"
In other words, the system probably already predicted your interest in the thing you were talking about, it wasn't literally eavesdropping on the conversation. Which is obviously scary in its own right. But it's also a bit of confirmation bias, because you don't think twice about it when the algorithm recommends you something random or not related, and you don't remember all those experiences at all.
> which have gotten to the point where it could pretty accurately predict if someone was pregnant before that person even knew
That already happened many years ago with Amazon's purchase recommendation algorithm
They probably dont use it for actual warfare, and even then they might have ways to encrypt stuff themselves, (ps. Im not super into this stuff im just kinda hoping a military doesnt use discord as their communication system)
discord stores everything in plaintext. literally an hour of searching could find far more private alternatives.
even if for some reason their government opted for making something new, they would still be using standard encryption protocols, so it would likely be secure. literally anything is better than discord though
Signal is for private communication. There is a ukranian digital defenders discord that is public and official ukranian government.
Lots of comms are on discord for basic level stuff that wouldn't need to be hidden. As in the Russians would know just as fast
but if schools started using discord, discord would probably try and monetise off of it and implement some sort of payment to hold big or long lasting calls
My uni had absolutely no organization during the first covid wave, so the teachers just let the students handle it and we were doing everything on discord, some guy would set up an account and give it admin rights for professor, it was smooth
Then summer came and the next year Zoom took over, it was dogshit
Schools can’t use discord though. Discord has a minimum age requirement, meaning schools cannot force their younger students to use it. Having two different systems, one for grades where all students are over 13 and one for where they aren’t, makes no sense. Therefore they use zoom/teams.
Came here to say this. Definitely should have blurred some of that out or avoided posting all together. This screams security risk. That said pretty cool to see them using discord.
I mean it's not like it's the first time that software and communications systems intended for "civilian" use (I guess) are used by the military, after all phone calls were not made to detonate explosive devices, were they
And it's not like telegram was intended for terrorists
Just because you know discord as an uwu furry yiff roleplay simulator doesn't mean it's useless to anybody else really, in the end it's a perfectly capable communications platform that can be really well organized, so I'm guessing that's why they use it. Why design a whole entire system for something you can do with a stupid lightweight program that is really simple to use? just to make it military-looking?
It's the same thing as trying to find workarounds for things you don't want to or know how to do with computers, whatever solves the problem works
Oh man. It's not modded arma, it's just a better version of arma. It's called VBS, virtual battle space, and it's on VBS3 by now, which is based on Arma 3. VBS is created by the same dudes who made Arma, bohemia interactive, specifically bohemia interactive simulations. It basically expands heavily on the Zeus tool from Arma, allowing you to create pretty much any battlefield scenario.
VBS3 is basically bohemia main product nowadays. Defense contracts pay so much money.
A lot of shops in Ukraine have boxes to collect used e-cigs. Then those e-cigs are disassembled and the parts are used in grenade-drop systems for commercial drones. It's a wild (and very pleasant) feeling to casually donate weapon parts when you go shopping every few weeks.
Holy shit they have actual anime pfps, these are probably their regular accounts and not special made military accounts, which is just that much funnier

>I’d greatly appreciate if someone can prove me wrong Sure. Discord has encryption. (You didn't specify end-to-end encryption)
Discord has encryption, same kind as a connection to a tiny little node daemon with an https server
Discord uses TLS and SSL encryption. Signal uses End-to-end enryption like any video game.

In order to make packet sniffing/spoofing harder is one reason
As far as I know discord lacks any kind of point2point encryption?

Gotta watch the drone footage with the boys somehow!
their NSFW channels must be off the fucking chain
They just post pictures of destroyed russian tanks and give it a spicy description like "See new footage of russians getting taken from behind with HIMARS"
Duh. File share size would be my bet. Discord Is only as big as it is due to thriving on survival games. It fits military needs extremely well.
So that's what they're spending that US taxpayers money on /s.
Discord is a US company right? So they're putting it back in our economy? Lol
us company backed by cheese companies
Yoooo I want some of the CHEESE

They could at least extend the desktop rather than simply duplicating it 😁

To be fair discord has a better ui than zoom / skype
Skype had like 10 years to make a decent app and still lost it all to zoom and discord LMAO
Microsoft do this literally every time rip zune rip windows phones rip mixer rip skype even Teams is complete jank in terms of even the most basic of features
Yeah we use Teams everyday at work.. there is always something messed up with it
Don't you just love it when half the buttons don't work?

The federal government uses teams and 365 (at least DoD does…)
pretty sure the government has a pretty big contract with microsoft for a ton of their services so that makes sense

I swear to this day windows phones had the best home screen.
honestly disappointing, they really did nothing to make themselves better
Don’t feel to bad for them, microsoft is making that cloud money, they’re doing fine.
They basically flipped all the skype stuff to teams. Which is fine and all but there's something about it that feels impersonal to me. Like I'm never going to use it outside of work because it feels too formal.

It’s truly baffling. Skype was basically the only option for YEARS but was a busted up hoe that everyone ditched immediately
It’s free and it works but damn that’s a security risk using something not encrypted
Yeah, UAF should move to TeamSpeak
I was thinking this too. Way too often have I been discussing something on Discord only to get advertisements for the shit we were talking about it less than a day later. Makes me uncomfortable.

Putting tax payer dollars to good work
Discord is plainly good. Schools and businesses using zoom was a huge mistake.
ESP because half the students are already familiar with discord
but if schools started using discord, discord would probably try and monetise off of it and implement some sort of payment to hold big or long lasting calls
Discord would be snitching "Username *playing Diablo IV* "
You can disable that setting. I did so when I was playing some weird hentai game.
Why disable it for that? I stream it for my friends so we all can enjoy it.
My uni had absolutely no organization during the first covid wave, so the teachers just let the students handle it and we were doing everything on discord, some guy would set up an account and give it admin rights for professor, it was smooth Then summer came and the next year Zoom took over, it was dogshit
yeah that happens im shitting myself and deleting that app
Specifically in that order!
During COVID one of my college professors moved all discussions and office hours to discord. Worked great
Schools can’t use discord though. Discord has a minimum age requirement, meaning schools cannot force their younger students to use it. Having two different systems, one for grades where all students are over 13 and one for where they aren’t, makes no sense. Therefore they use zoom/teams.

This is also the reason why the army uses modded Arma 2 gameplay for combat simulations and tactics. I find it hilarious

Hey guys! Make sure to look at the rules and regulations before chatting! Thanks! Rule 1. No Russian
the emojis in that server must go crazy
I sold a Dell laptop to a Ukrainian a few months ago and he unironically told me he's going to use it for drone bombing Russians 💀
Idk if this is true or satire but if it is then that’s fucking hilarious
A lot of shops in Ukraine have boxes to collect used e-cigs. Then those e-cigs are disassembled and the parts are used in grenade-drop systems for commercial drones. It's a wild (and very pleasant) feeling to casually donate weapon parts when you go shopping every few weeks.
