Forced arbitration means any legal disputes you may have with Discord must be resolved through a single third party mediator, who 99% of the time is chosen by, and will rule in favor of, the corporation/Discord. This effectively removes all your legal rights as a consumer, because arbitration decisions are legally binding and non-appealable.
The new ToS goes into effect April 15th, 2024.
YOU CAN OPT OUT OF ARBITRATION. You must email arbitration-opt-out@discord.com BEFORE MAY 15TH (30 days after ToS effective date) with your username stating that you wish to opt out of the arbitration clause. Once May 15th passes you are bound to arbitration with Discord forever.
Opt-out before it’s too late.
i genuinely think compiling the bugs with some details in a youtube video and posting it on youtube would be more useful than finding that discord and joining it lmao
I’m all for providing free support/testing for community projects…
But discord is not meant for documentation/management/bug tracking.
I just can’t even…
The only way to communicate to the dev is via discord. I don’t mind that. But I don’t want to join yet another server!
i genuinely don’t understand why the move has happened, it only seems more annoying than something like github, especially if you work on open source software.
If you want it to be an method of communication, that’s fine. But the primary is actually insane.
