They are starting to clamp down on the censorship of their platform and it will only get worse i.e. naughty words aren't allowed on discord (though it isn't policed that throughly). A friend of mine had one of our discord servers banned for "hate speech" even though we banned the individuals that made the posts and some of our members were banned simply for being on the same server.
People signed up for accounts again with a different email but it besides the point really. The problem with almost all of these companies is that there is no straight forward TOS.
So for example this is my rules on my board:
> 1. Don't harass people.
> 2. No doxing.
> 3. Unless a board is marked NSFW avoid posting anything NSFW.
> 4. Don't be abusive for the sake of it.
> 5. Don't Spam.
Now I am sure I will have to amend those at some point but they are straight forward and I intend to keep it that way. I am developing a youtube/twitch/reddit hybrid, I believe the comments on youtube are soo dire because fundamentally their commenting system is dire. I intend to keep that pretty much free-speech with almost no algorithms because I am fed up of things being manipulated constantly to the point where Youtube has kinda broken itself (about 3 years ago it was amazing for finding video of stuff). The same with Google search has got worse over the last few years because they are messing too much with the algorithm.
Slightly aside. I am looking at a client for IRC that is easy to use and Discord-esque features. I believe it is possible to do a lot of this by simply getting the client itself to do a lot of the heavy lifting and using IRC more as a message broker. The thing is what do I build it in. One of the things I hate about Discord is Electron. It application is garbage on a mac and the web version performs better. Python's GUI tools are dire, so I am left really going to the C# or god forbid Java. I dunno enough about C++ to make a client in that and the other options are too esoteric tbh.
