From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Did you actually read anything or are you just set to rage mode?
And then your blogger proceeds to use it as a cited source, my goodness.
Yes, did you? They are trying to claim something as stupid as that discord doesn't sell your data.
Burden of proof is on you, to show an instance of Discord going against its ToS and selling data.
Only thing I could find: https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2024/04/billions-of-public-discord-messages-may-be-sold-through-a-scraping-service/#comments where are 3rd party bot might scrape data to then sell... which is an issue even for lemmy?
ask Jason Citron
So you've got nothing but hysterics 😂
