Discord Stole Someone’s Server!

UPDATE: Kaarssteun told me that Stability AI is sending them an RTX 4090 as a token of appreciation and will be having them as an intern once Kaarssteun is legally old enough! 🥳
This is the story of Discord user Kaarssteun (and yes, I probably pronounce it wrong) and how they got their verified Discord server stolen by Discord and Stability AI (creators of stable diffusion). It is a mess of miscommunication and incompetence. Discord breaking policy, Stability AI just being a crap business overall and treating their community like garbage.
I guess at the end of the day this video tells you why you don't want to be a Discord mod for a business lmfao.

Here’s a fun fact about Discord’s TOS: My friend created a server and invited me in it. At this time there were 0 channels and not even a pfp. Anyways, I put the server in a folder on my Discord and never looked at it. A few weeks later, I receive an email from Discord saying my account got banned for « Hacking and sharing Malware ». I obviously didn’t understand why I received that email. Seems that my friend had added me as administrator in his server and started selling Malware. So Discord banned my account for literally nothing. I contacted them but kept getting answers from Bots… great.

There's a certain point when companies can just drop everything and do anything they want without losing users. We saw it with most mega-corporations (Netflix, Facebook, Twitter, etc.), we saw it with Mojang (1.19.1, and still as relevant as it was in 2011), we saw it with TikTok (admitting to stealing data and almost no hit on user count), and we've been seeing it with Discord - data collection, horrible moderation, and now this.

Discord again as a company - are liable to any legal case against them - covered their asses just like StabilityAI. F. Discord and Stability aren't wrong, they are just AHs. StabilityAI went full enterprise bully on Kaarssteun - they should've realized what an asset that was, mark is an "unofficial community" and pay him to help move the community to another instance which was the official community. Kids being kids, they don't know about the legal repercussions of trademarked companies - that's why you never call yourself "Official" server of some company you don't even own or have stocks in it.

Discord anything is like talking to a brick wall.

Oh! and yea, if you wanted to do a video on this. maybe it's boring for you maybe it isn't but the tl;dr of it is that the discord client has feature disparity between the supported platforms. I'm not talking like desktop and mobile, i mean like Between windows, mac and Linux. the latter two do not have audio support for screen sharing, they did once, but the feature was removed. There's no technical reason why it can't have this, as alternative offerings of a similar nature do and some 3rd party clients have even managed to bodge the functionality back in, it's due to an outdated Electron version and some small code to hook it in to pipewire. People who contacted support about this were asked to put a vote for it on the feature requests, which they have done so in their thousands. the thread asking for this feature has been running for 3 years and to this day it is still not done. not even a response which i mentioned above.

I'm not entirely biased against Stability AI either. I've had horrible experiences with teenage dictators and community drift, and in one case collapse, due to a few power hungry Discord moderators. That last one involved a server started as an official sub Discord server. For a community to remain positive and inclusive, its values need to be closely aligned to the brand it represents. When it's a Discord server for a sub, then the brand is the sub. When it's the official Discord or Sub for a business, it's the same thing, both need to reflect and be closely aligned to your brand. For a business, when something like Reddit or Discord brings in tons of new users and it playing a pivotal role in their growth, it's very difficult to entrust the future of that growth into someone with little prior experience and no official affiliation with your brand. I'm not sure what Kaarssteun's prior experience was with Discord and Subreddit moderation, but going from 50 members to ~40,000 users in just a few months is a massive explosion in popularity, and running a community of 50 members is very different from running a community of 40,000 members. If I was the CEO of a company, I wouldn't entrust the future of my product and vision or the money of my investors into some stranger online, especially if they have little experience running something that large and if I lack the ability to hire them on as official staff in my social media department. At the same time, I also wouldn't grab an existing subreddit or discord server and label it my brand's "official" sub or server without having first aquired it. Stability AI should have compensated Kaarssteun for the value he provided their business. Either buying him out with a large cash payment or offering him shares in the company to ensure he benefits from the future growth of the product he helped to market and grow. I'm sorry, but a 4090 and the promise of a future internship just doesn't cut it. If they didn't want to do that or if Kaarssteun wasn't satisfied with the offer, they could just start their own "official" support subreddit and Discord server. On Discord and Reddit, it's first-come-first-serve to the vanity url/r-slash department, and those are things a company should look into pretty early on if they want to control them. I'm mostly angry with Discord, because they violated their own policies and TOS in forcefully transferring ownership of the server. Maybe there was some shady stuff being spread by Stability AI in their calls, maybe they asserted somehow that they formed the communities or idk. But I don't see any negotiation where Discord could honestly think this was okay. Servers do not themselves generate income, they aren't businesses, and so they aren't covered under trademarks or copyrights. I could definitely see Discord and SAI having cause to remove the "verified" tag from the server, but the server itself, the vanity URL, and the community were all created by Kaarssteun and it is ABSOLUTELY unacceptable for a business and Discord to conspire to pry that away from him. SAI chose to make a server owned by a teen their official server and were probably the ones who requested verification, I don't see Discord doing that on their own. And given Discord ADMITTED they'd fucked up by transferring ownership and gave it back, only to reverse course again, they know it wasn't right.

Weird that hiring him as an intern, part time employee or anything like that wasn't part of stable diffusions decisionmaking process.

On top of that he's directly and deeply involved with the community/customers, he'd be a valuable asset to ensure proper communication between the two parties and they'd avoid so much terrible reputation as well.

If Stability AI went ahead and made their own Discord and Subreddit, wouldn't this render Kaarssteun's discord server and subreddit defunked anyway? Wouldn't it lead to practically the same outcome? Apart from the effort.

[@addicted2caffeine]

Take it to court. No seriously they have the right to delete the server and your account. But not to take it and hand it to someone else. That's theft. Even if discord gets final say I bet a legal team would have a say.

[@ashthewolfdog1380]

Yet, people still ask me why I dislike corporate. When they do bad things it's really f***ed up, but when they do really good things it's really amazing and beautiful. The reason why I dislike corporate is because they do more bad things than they do good very often.

[@robert-janvanloon1227]

my account from 2017 got banned and removed for literally nothing, i tried contacting discord but instead of talking you get useless bots there is no possible way to get a real answer from a human from them, they are literally a brick wall. but a brick wall will actually help you slamming your head against it

[@Hextor00]

wow they really annexed his server like that?

[@cmcofficial1964]

A verified server called Armchair Historian got there account stolen and there verified server was just transferred away and remained verified and it took discord over a week to fix the issue

[@savagegaming4133]

discord disabled my main account the one i had been using for years on end the one i had created life long meories with and met some of my best friends there people i could truly call friends and they disabled it because i was trying to report a server that had been publicly hosting child pornography, i emailed discord with their server code and the owner aswell as every staff role in that server so that they could take action on them, but instead they disabled my account and then later said they coild not investigate the issue as i did not appear to be in any servers, they took my friends away from me because I was trying to do the right thing, discord moderation is a fuking joke and seriously worse than roblox mods, at least robox mods help u get your account back if u can proove shit even if it takes 2 yaesr to do so

@@Ed.E I dont use any other platform, I only use discord and xbox, I'm not one of those soicial media addicts who cant put a phone down, i touch grass too, also its very stupid that you inply because I didnt add my good friends onto other platforms that we were not friends at all. Im not sure what a friend is to you, but to me its someone you can have chill calm and serious converstions with, and give each other advice as well as being there in times of support, you dont have to be on each otehr snap or pin each other faceook post or shit like that, a friend is a friend because you both value what type of friendship you have equally. Thats what a friend is to me.

I hope this doesn’t happen to me. I own the (main) Mann Vs. Machine Discord server (I’m not aware of other servers with as many users as the one I’m in, plus pretty mine was the first, even though I’m not the original owner). Hearing this story, I hope Valve doesn’t sidle along like “heeeey this is ours now”

NTTS - there is currently an announcement going around saying there is a new trojan virus within webm’s. Could you perhaps verify or show how to protect yourself from this new Trojan?

[@mahadkalam59]

That's just a copypasta! If webm had a Trojan virus, the hacker would probably get a ton of money from Google (the company that makes chromium, that discord uses), and why would sm1 instead hack kids on discord?

[@n7nobodycats]

hahaha thats where youre wrong. when you have enough people backlashing against discord, stability ai, etc, then yeah it will do something. hearing you say nothing will happen going and "harassing" these groups/people is funny. weve seen it happen multiple times where enough backlash actually does affect and change things.

[@UBvtuber]

He has to say that because every KZbinr is afraid of getting LeafyisHere'd

[@Gem-gi7km]

ok some decisions of certain parties make sense.... like it would not make sense if an OFFICIAL Stability AI was owned by a non-employee of Stability AI, and there were most likely some miscommunication between Kaarssteun and Stability AI when they made the UNOFFICIAL Kaarssteun's Reddit/Discord OFFICIAL. However, how the heck did Discord give verification status to the server when the "server owner" was not even an employee of Stability AI? That's a huge blunder and a 100% Discord mistake. Discord should have sticked to their own guidelines and requirements and refuse to verify the server unless "the applicant must be the owner of the server and an official representative of a business". If Kaarssteun applied, he didn't meet the latter part of the requirements. If Stability AI representative applied, they would not have met the first part of the requirements.

[@etch-6261]

Seeing this all go live was infuriating tbh
