The Down Bad Side of Discord

[@NoTextToSpeech]

Had a couple of comments about the usu.edu source in the google search. It's definitely a very biased website, they cite sources from a religious group (conflict of interest lol) Regardless, read a couple more studies and it's a controversial topic. Basically, DSM-5 doesn't classify it as an addiction. ICD-11 labels it as an impulsive control disorder. This is a massive rabbit hole and I would highly recommend you reading into it if you are curious about this topic :)

I had the same idea, bro but this is different. I had got a singlular Dm from a random guy and i decided to join a server that he sent a link to me and my acc was unintentionally sending scam links to all my group dms and servers and this was an absolute nightmare, so this is extremely controversial to social media since porn is such a terrible addiction especially among teens. I also decided to dig through some servers through tiktok, i did find many and i mean MANY of these server links and it just went on and on like a chain. One day, discord will have a very controversial case and this is absolutely annoying. This caused me to get banned in all my servers I had a specific staff role in a server and now I got banned thanks to this piece of garbage. Thank you for spreading awareness for this issue I have now subscribed to you even though you posted this video a month ago.

[@SpaidyInterviews]

this happened to me too, not only was it bad someone did that, but it ruined me and my relationships. (Not IRL ones) but i lost a lot of friends and got banned from a lot of servers. It made me look terrible and I still havnt really reverted the damage and I don't think I ever will. It wasn't a good look on me as my youtube and xbox were linked to my discord so i really couldnt escape it. I had even been mod in some semi popular games, but of course I was banned, what hurt even more was the personal messages from everyone just saying terrible things to me. There are now some things I cant even do if i wanted to because I'm banned. I was also co-owner in my online friends server, we'd known each other for awhile so we were pretty close. once that happened though, He announced to the server that I had allegedly joined p#rn servers. I still cant believe people can be douches like that.

tbh this was pretty light Here in Brazil about 8 months ago there was a huge scandal (with most main TV channels covering the story) where the actual Federal Police investigated a huge Discord Server where the admins/owners would blackmail newcomers (mostly minor girls and a couple boys) into some really messed up stuff. At first they'd request an "iniciation" into the server, where the target would have to share their faces and then do some shameful stuff, but after a while they'd threat them most of the time with Doxxing and force them to the heavy stuff: self-multilament with knives, setting big stuff on their houses on fire, torturing (and even killing) pets, sharing nudes, fleeing their houses and going into their cities, threating them like "gods" and there was even multiple acusations of r*p* thankfully they've all been arrested, and what's crazy is that there were people from cities across the entire country involved....

Not only do they use bots from these servers to get you to join more of them, but they also use different scam bots (mostly raiding bots) to get permission to join servers for you. Something like this happened to me. I was mad at my friends for banning me from his servers, so I decided to raid them, but I had no idea how to raid the server, so I went to KZbin and found a video where they told me how to raid a server through a bot. In the video description, they had a link to DC, from where you can get the bot. I joined the server, and a bot asked me for permission to join the server for me. Later, I decided not to raid the server, and I left the server (from where I got the bot), but strangely, I kept getting added back to the server and also on some NSFW and scam servers. I didn't know why it was happening until I found out about the authorization setting and deauthorize the bot. Then it stopped.

Kinda not related, but a while ago, me and a buddy of mine were scrolling through disboard server, trying to find ones where we can just screw around in, and slightly inconvenience people. Well we came across this nsfw furry rp server, and after going through the lengthiest verify process I've ever seen for a server (like you had to make your own furry OC, give it a name, gender, etc) we got in. And holy crap this server had a MILLION channels in them. We couldn't really do much when it came to trolling cause we'd lose the channel if we scrolled too far from it. Anyways after about, 10 minutes of being in the server, my buddy starts sharing his screen showing the inside of a channel called "d--- pics" and by God it was horrifying. It's exactly as the channel name implies, people PUBLICLY sending pictures of their privates. Mind you, most of the server members, and active users of this channel were most likely, if not definitely minors. It was absolutely disgusting seeing what people are doing to kids now, and it doesn't look great for future generations either. I pray this server was taken down after the bombardment of reports we made on it, but God only knows. To anyone who has a kid/plans on having kids, do NOT give them Internet access at an early age. It does something to one.

[@orokanamame]

Internet, with moderation, is not a bad idea for a child - however, nowadays parents are increasingly more preoccupied with other things, and believe than the internet is moderated in "good conscience" by the companies. Even I, as a 21 year old, still cling to the old days of when you could enjoy the internet rather safely as a kid, while knowing it's not true. So yes, parents should choose one of the two - moderate the content intake themselves, or simply limit/outright ban the use of internet until a certain age (I believe 8-10 to be great for introduction to safe browsing and general use of internet, and 13-15 to lift the moderation while still making sure to educate them of how to avoid dangerous/harmful materials). Best way to avoid these situations is with prevention, and solid prevention is one done with education. Forbidding something straight up will instead make dangerous situations that are caused by the childish curiosity.

My friend asked me what do you rate your face, I said I am 6 and they banned me because I was underage. It got me so worried I sent multiple reports but they didn't even bother responding. I sent them messages via email, Twitter, but again no response. After 1 month my account, my 6 year old account was banned. My whole childhood faded and my memories were gone. Be careful About your age guys , make sure you never make it sound like you are underage

Thank you for bringing light to this dark side of Discord. Spreading awareness about topics like this at least have the chance to either change something or, at the very least, they can prevent users to fall victim to some scammy things. Thank you!

[@gilililili]

you can delete the authorizations manually in Discord's settings but I'm pretty sure that it will take away the verification and those that are down bad probably want to stay in those servers after they get terminated so that option doesn't solve many problems

I joined a random server some time ago and I started getting many notifications from random servers that I didn't recognise, and I mean MANY notifications.

this video is such a W coming from someone who had this addiction. Children don't have the best impulse control and their brains are still developing (even into the late 20s). It's our job (and their parents) to protect them, not hand it out like some flyer. Theres a reason why drinking is 21+, because it is addictive. I mod a server where minors (one of them even being 12) were posting nsfw stuff. Theres a rule against it and nobody wants to see it. Its a small server and a lot of the members have done this and been banned. It's so bad.

[@AstoundingAmelia]

well, it's more that it does have legitimate uses, The issue is those legitimate uses also get used terribly. it's like the usb killer, it's got a legitimate purpose for testing devices against overloading but often gets used maliciously

[@LilacMonarch]

@@AstoundingAmelia what uses

[@AstoundingAmelia]

@@LilacMonarch Here are some legitimate uses: Automated Server Management: If you're part of a large organization or community that operates multiple servers, a bot could automatically add your account to new servers as they're created. Event Participation: For events that utilize temporary Discord servers (like hackathons, gaming tournaments, or community gatherings), a bot could automatically join you to these servers based on your registration allowing for larger servers especially to run events. Customized Recommendations: Similar to how some platforms recommend groups or communities based on your interests, a bot could use your Discord activity and preferences to suggest new servers that match your interests and automatically join you to them. Off platform management: another use is too allow the use of off platform management tools to allow you to join discord servers from a central dashboard

[@shaheerDev]

@@LilacMonarch some hosting services and maybe some others use it to automatically join the person such that they can verify that the account has a link to the account on the website and if discord just randomly remove it it would break, so they won't just remove it and they shouldn't as it would break so many things. It is not simple like you think, yes it is abused but still that is the users responsibility to safeguard himself. Discord should not remove this now.

[@LilacMonarch]

@@shaheerDev It's definitely not necessary to do any of that, if they announce it will be removed then those services can change to a different method, it's really not a problem

Thank you for making me aware of the corn addictions I have put a corn blocker on my phone

[@Marenthyu]

Where i think the "join servers for you" permission makes sense is, for example, the Patreon integration - or for anything organizing an Event that is split into different Servers (for whatever reason). In most cases, permission-locked channels cover those usecases, but realistically, it should be a "reviewed permission" where the app in question must be reviewed by discord before being able to use it. (Which again becomes useless when "Big Bots" make it available to anyone to use in their "We do everything"-App)

[@erikkonstas]

If by "reviewed permission" you mean "intent", these are restrictions that can be lifted (the intent is "enabled" then) if Discord staff determines your bot cannot function well with them in place... and yes, it only concerns the "bot" scope. The "gdm.join" and "guilds.join" scopes themselves should be restricted too, though. Also, these scopes should NOT be available to unverified bots for free like intents are!

[@frostiefops]

honestly an easy way to somewhat fix the problem is to literally just have a pop up in the client that says " wants to join for you" with accept/decline options. That way at least you get a choice

[@erikkonstas]

@@frostiefopsIt can't work like that... firstly, that's the same number of clicks as an invite link. Secondly, it implies that the user has clicked some sort of button to make that page appear - that's not necessarily the case. And I still believe that the *.join scopes are harmful with little benefit...

how is that even the 'bare minimum to avoid getting sued' they're basically just not doing anything at all. but i guess since discord servers are harder to see than, say, "elsagate" style youtube videos on youtube kids, there's way less chance of it causing the sort of massive outrage needed for discord to actually care.
