and it's incredibly invasive! "clips" are exactly what they sound like, short snippets of a stream that the streamer in question can save and share. the catch is:

  • it captures both stream and call audio, so anyone in the call will have their voice recorded
  • it's enabled by default "if [the streamer's] system has high end hardware"
  • there is no way for users to opt out of being recorded, nor are there any settings for server admins to turn them off (per-channel or per-server)

which feels like a privacy violation! to constantly have your voice recorded and saved at any time, if a single person has a feature enabled, feels like a massive invasion of privacy. i get that it's not incredibly hard to capture call audio anyways, but it's at least a crime to do so in many US states (without two party consent, of course). this shit is ridiculous. i maintain two different servers that i frequently hang out in and the fact that i can't disallow all calls to be recorded is, kinda scary! kinda sucks a lot!

i know this whole platform's kinda been on the descent for a long time now, but i feel like this steps over a line that i didn't even think had to exist. i haven't seen anyone talk about this, and i'm not sure what the best method to approach it is, but for now: if you use discord, disable clipping. to do so, go to settings, and there (might) be a tab titled "clips" - click that and there's an option at the top to enable clipping, turn that off if you can. this fuckin sucks

So this is like Twitch clips except Discord isn't a freaking streaming platform and shouldn't be adding random features from every other app and failing at most of them? Hell

while i understand Technically They Could Just Record You Anyways, i do feel the ease (and default!!) nature of just always recording is a icky idea at minimum
