Greetings from the land of Discord!

I am here to speak about Illwinter Gaming (Unofficial) (name pending renovation).
We are the biggest and most active community of Conquest of Elysium 4 players, and I aim to make it the biggest for CoE 5 as well. As such, I am making this post to announce I'm looking for more members as well as new moderators (Prophets) and Admins (Disciples).

I'm sorry, but no. Social networks are awful place, and it mines your personal data.

It's up to everyone to decide for themselves whether sacrificing their data to the dark gods of social networking is worth it for what they get from a particular platform or not (its usually not). But If you're already on Steam, how privacy minded are you really? That aside, Discord is not a privacy friendly platform, so your concerns are ofcourse legitimate. All I can say is that the server definitely isn't an awful place socially.

Indeed, it's up to everyone.
In case of Steam it's somewhat different. Because there is a trust for Valve, and they are not making business on selling your data. And Steam only has data, that you personally put there.
While Discord mines data on your PC, spies on you and it's primary business model is selling your data.
Problem with social networks, that they are designed to be an awful place. There might be rare exceptions, but in general it's a bad place to be.
Especially when you can have exact same service with zero data mining(TeamSpeak, Mumble). Or use Steam's bundled group and voice chat services.

I'm sure there is a good atmosphere in your Discord channel. CoE/Dom fans are great folks. Question is, do you really want to expose those people to completely unnecessary malware just for the sake of gathering to play online?
