Starting today, Heroic Games Launcher is indexing their Discord server

[jackbydev@programming.dev]

Because you can make a Discord server with a few clicks. It's super easy. I wish more people used things indexable by search engines too, but you really can't deny how incredibly easy Discord is from the side of the people wanting to set up something.

[kipo@lemm.ee]

I get it.

I can't use discord because my privacy settings on my devices is such that discord demands my phone number from me, and that is not a piece of personally identifying information I will ever share with them.

I understand you. You can always use a temp number or get a sim without credit

[whitebrow@lemmy.world]

That is a proper workaround when you don’t have a choice, disposable temp sim will get you through their “security”. Unfortunately doesn’t work with virtual sim numbers though.

You can't use the webapp?

I always just use the browser app and I don't think I've given them my phone number... I should check that actually

[nighed@feddit.uk]

And everyone already has an account, they can just press a button to join the server and be interacting straight away.

[korhaka@sopuli.xyz]

Agreed. Discord is a chatroom not a forum.

You can make a lemmy community in a few clicks if you don't want to run your own instance.

[kazel@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

Can you show me your discord server? Is it in the room with us? I think discord owns all the discord servers but that's just me...

[jackbydev@programming.dev]

I am using the terminology Discord uses. I am aware it is not a server in the traditional sense. Be angry with them, not me.
