flamingswordhttps://discord.com/terms#16 Discord is pulling a fast one with regards to forced arbitration. You can send the following email to arbitration-opt-out@discord.com from the email for your discord account: "I opt out of arbitration." as subject and body. If you can't remember which email is your discord email, just send it from multiple. This is a shitty thing they're forcing everyone to do, or risk being unable to sue for data harvesting, art theft, warrantless surveillance and more. Deadline is May 14. If you miss the deadline, you would have to delete your account and send the email when you re-establish a new one. Ugh.

https://theintercept.com/2023/03/21/fbi-colorado-springs-surveillance/ While ignoring an open case about threats made by a white supremacist, Colorado Springs police placed a pink-haired undercover officer in with a racial justice group protesting a murderous cop. Because they are, in fact, the largest street gang in America, and it’s not hard to spot. 🤬
