I regret to inform you that Discord's new Terms of Service includes an arbitration clause. You can find it here https://discord.com/terms/#16. This clause includes an opt-out, which I have transcribed here:

You can decline this agreement to arbitrate by emailing an opt-out notice to arbitration-opt-out@discord.com within 30 days of April 15, 2024 or when you first register your Discord account, whichever is later; otherwise, you shall be bound to arbitrate disputes in accordance with the terms of these paragraphs. If you opt out of these arbitration provisions, Discord also will not be bound by them.

These clauses are underhanded ways that corporations seek to deprive you of your right to participate in class-action lawsuits and your right to a jury trial. (This does only apply to us users ,other people still spread the word though )

Bad news, @noodelzmop. Arbitration basically means that if you want to sue Discord for whatever reason, the dispute needs to be handled in house. Specifically, in their house. If you don't get this email out, you're basically signing away your right to legal recourse if they do criminally shitty stuff to you, like with the McDonalds app.

I have been told that emailing "I am confirming that as of the date of this email, I am choosing to opt out of binding arbitration to settle disputes with Discord." With the Email you used for your discord account is enough for the notice but take this with a grain of salt as this was not said by a lawyer

reiterating that this only applies to US users

THIRTY DAY LIMIT BTW. I suggest taking sixty seconds to fire off a quick email with op’s recommended text. I have no plans to sue discord but better safe than sorry

OH BOY! it's me again, your local internet privacy & safety enthusiast!

this was too big to fit into a tumblr post and i had to do Research™ so here, take this google doc i wrote outlining what exactly is going on, why you should care, and how to opt out (with an email template included):

OH FUCK YEAH AN EMAIL TEMPLATE THANK YOU

that made it way more accessible for me and i finally sent it, thank you so much, i almost put it off and forgot about it.

I don’t know how to explain to liberals that a leader behaving like a whipped dog while obeying a separate country’s fascist genocidal leader who is trying to cause a regional war after months of genocide so he can stay in power is the sign of a bad politician and especially a bad president. Joe Biden does not deserve uncritical support and protests against him are justified and warranted and he is risking a bigger war and losing to Donald trump for his own radical zionist beliefs. He deserves even more protests with how he’s handling Israel attacking Iran.

Reminder that palestinians don't owe you shit, and that them begging for you to not ignore them is actually not entitlement. If you find a problem with it, the problem is you <3

And if you prioritize your own comfort over the safety and livelihoods over people suffering genocide, then by all means, keep funding AO3 and keep watching Zionist media. Just know that you will never be remembered except in disdain.

joe biden u raggedy bitch ur done for and ur legacy will be a fart in a wind—a blemish on humanity—hundreds years from now, children will refer to u and ur coconspirators as “genocide joe” and nothing else, áshe.

literally using our tax money so they can bomb hospitals and playgrounds full of families—on my unborn child, the least i can do is make sure none of these nutcases spend another year in office.

The dehumanization of Palestinians goes BEYOND the things we usually see, such as racism and Islamophobia.

It’s also the tokenization, treating Palestinian bloggers as “inspiration” for an OC, the parasocial relationships people are starting to form with more well-known Palestinian bloggers, and NOW polls on who the “worst” Palestinian is. Even people who’re supposedly ally’s to the freedom for Palestine movement are voting because of quote on quote “curiosity”.

You don’t have to be outwardly racist to dehumanize someone. Dehumanization involves stripping a person of their humanity and turning them into whatever caricature you think fits them best, whether it’s to sell an agenda or treat them as a source of entertainment.

already can't pretend to care about the male loneliness epidemic because it isn't real but listening to the way men actually talk about their friends/what they think friendship entails makes me care even less sorry

read an AITA earlier today about a guy who would walk his female friend home to her dorm very often UNTIL she rejected his romantic advances*, then when she asks him to walk her home bc she's drunk and feels unsafe he says no. Men in the comments were clamoring to insist he "didn't owe her anything" and that she was a deceptive harpy who wanted to use her #femaleprivilege to get "special treatment"

and idkkkkkkk that could never be me sorry!! wym you don't care about your friends safety and are willing to mildly inconvenience yourself to ensure they are okay? no compassion or care for the people in your life but its an "epidemic" when you don't have friends? lol
