Revision as of 01:29, 18 February 2020 by JustAnotherArchivist (talk | contribs) (Basic page using quotes from the -ot discussion just now)
A selection of reasons why ArchiveTeam should never use Discord (except possibly as a way for people to report shutdowns to us):
<Frogging> [Discord is] a proprietary, centralized protocol with a ToS that explicitly disallows third-party clients
<Frogging> it's for-profit and likely to shut down or be sold off when it fails to make a profit, as all such services do eventually
<Frogging> It's also antithetical to ArchiveTeam because it has no data migration story
<JAA> And we'd be breaking their ToS in a kind of impressive number of ways.
<Frogging> Seriously, Discord can fuck off forever.
(TODO: Make this into a nicer list.)
