Krisp (Discord) Likely to steal data? (sh.itjust.works)

I wonder how many people using discord have this enabled by default. Pretty sure Krisp records everything you say and uses your voice to train ai models. Not that it's a big deal since everything on discord is completely insecure and not private at all.

I'd like to ditch discord but there's no way I can convince people to leave it, there's really nothing as easy out there right now. They'll put up with the enshittification until it's ads plastered all over the screen.

Ehhhh, Krisp is the least of Discord's privacy problems. I'd say start with all its monitoring of what you do on your system as low hanging fruit.

That being said, try to get all your friends to switch to SonoBus for voice chat, strictly. It’s awesome! It’s way lower latency (so less talking over each other), clear, point to point, dead easy to start since it doesn’t need an account, customizable for quiet or noisy mics, works on everything, I could go on and on.

Here’s what I’m talking about:

https://sonobus.net/

And again, I think “use Discord for text, but use this for voice” is a much easier ask than trying to get them to login to some other chat app.

Sonobus and Stoat collab would go so hard together

No encryption though :(

Ill look into that! Sadly people aren't gonna change from discord, it has too many features and ease of use for them.

True for now until Stoat catches up and offers things that Discord does not. Would love to see Stoat add sub folders in folders and sub folders in sub folders

That would help so much with organizing all the servers I am part of

Not having Nitro bullshit alone is very attractive to me.
