Discord sets precedent for free speech by banning NotSoBot and creator for saying "shut up jew"
|
Users throughout Discord have voiced their concerns that the developers are banning users with insufficient justification. This is the latest controversial ban, as while the average result of such a statement to an admin of a server would be a server warning, mute or in some stricter cases a server ban, this resulted in a ban from the application Discord, and every server therein.
|
NotSoBot, has arguably the most features and coding of any bot on Discord, was used by thousands of servers and hailed as tremendously helpful in aspects of moderation, creativity, and numerous fun socializing and searching utilities.
|
Were the developers justified? Harassment and abuse do after all warrant punishment. However, which is more abusive: a user stating one racist insult, or a developer banning a user's access to their friends, social circles, and creations all over 1 racist remark. A user stating a racist insult to someone and meaning it, may warrant a warning or mute, depending on if they truly mean it and the place it was conveyed.
| But a user stating a racist insult does not warrant a heavy-handed overreaction of cutting that user's social ties and destroying all the work and effort they spent over the course of a year. At most, the developers should have banned the user from their SERVER, but that is only at most and even then it would be overkill.
|
Users have the universal, self-given, inalienable right to free speech. To have developers abuse their power for such a minor action, is an oppressive act of censorship far exceeding what is reasonably fair and just. If Discord insists on having 0 tolerance with no leeway, we likewise as users have a civic duty to ourselves to likewise have 0 tolerance for this abuse of power.

| He had it coming.
| Nah fam
| Wait was the person he said that to actually Jewish.
| >>257859 true dat
Afterall just like facebook and twitter; your "muh free speech" can't save you from ban. It's their website/app/program, they have their rules.
| I fucking told you tards not to use Discord.
| >>257992 It wasn't just the bot, it was him that said it and got banned.
Of course racism isn't exactly a good thing but I agree with the writer. Big abuse of power over here.

| Well if he said that antisemitic comment offhandedly he could have apologied. People cry censorship and free speech or whatnot but he wasn't banned for saying some words.
He was banned for standing by his little antisemitic comment instead of being profesional and swallowing his pride with an apology.
Tl;dr Banned for being an unprofessional dick is different from being banned because he started his opinion...
| This surely affected a lot of servers, he had it coming long time ago
NSB had a .kys command and it linked users to a website containing compilation of suicide tapes

This.
Freedom in capitalism is primarily the freedom of those who own the big capital to rule over those who don't own much or nothing. Proprietary Software is the result of licencining/patenting ideas in order to transfer this reality from the material world artificially into the immaterial.

To this case: There may be comes a time where it is accepted to blame jews again for everything. It'll come when the Capital becomes afraid of beeing critizised itself in a large scale. Jewish lobby is not stronger than the capital, which does not care about what people call each other or how they blame each other - as long they don't call the things by it real names: capitalists vs. workers or bourgeoisie vs. proletariat = class struggle.
| Discord is for retards anyway. He got what was coming to him, now he can use a less shit service.
| He didnt actually tell a dev to shut up, it was an owner of a discord bot list site not affiliated with discord
| Gotta love the "just don't use discord lol" people. What should we use instead then?
| Sure, if you want outdated shit that nobody uses anymore.
| Damn, Discord is the only place where I still have friends locally at. Guess it's time to do away with all people and stick to imageboards/textboards and IRC. FUCK
| >>260123
IRC still has some servers with activity. If you're too stubborn to switch I won't force you.

Mumble or any SIP service with a ressource friendly configurable client.
Easy. No need for stupid proprietary webapps that eat ram and cpu like there is no tomorrow. If you're not able to setup software on your computer, then get rid of it, buy a TV and eventually a console. But don't disturb free people with your stupid shit.

Tox and Signal are new and both use excellent encryption e2e, unlike discord. If you really need dank 9gag memes to show in-line use Riot since it is decentralized. Discord is the worst option.
| Apparently NotSoBot is back and working
| Any news from discord about them allowing them back?
| >>260508 just let people use it, why do you have to be this butthurt? It's their data that is stolen and their pc that gets bloated, not yours.
It's like you are not allowing middle ground. Like saying "either be a security worrywarts like us, or go back to your dirty console."
Most people has accepted discord and have built their community around it. Convincing everyone to go back to mumble is a hard task at this point. Not everyone is as autistic as you.

| Creator of famous Discord bot NotSoBot, @NotSoSuper aka <@130070621034905600> on Discord, was banned by the developers after responding to a developer request with "shut up jew," and subsequently refusing to apologize. His bot has also been disabled most likely permanently, though the GitHub page is available here if admins wish to host an older copy of the bot: https://github.com/NotSoSuper/NotSoBot
