Discord is, for now, the application to communicate preferred by almost all Steemit users. We know of the problems that Steemt.chat recently had that caused most people to move to Discord. Today when I opened the application I found that I had to accept new "Terms of Use". Honestly, I have to say, it is one of the few times I have read those conditions complete. ![Discord.PNG](https://steemitimages.com/DQmXoVWHEkohZ2f5kJ17dMzvszg6eSN5SuB9tfQGbaZWm4g/Discord.PNG) Well in those new conditions I found two interesting parts and I want to share them with you today, just in case somebody has not read them. I know that many do not. The first thing has to do with rights over everything you share through Discord and that scares me a little, I have to say. It looks a lot like what Facebook does and it's one of the reasons I stopped using it. >By uploading, distributing, transmitting or otherwise using Your Content with the Service, you grant to us a perpetual, nonexclusive, transferable, royalty-free, sublicensable, and worldwide license to use, host, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, translate, create derivative works from, distribute, perform, and display Your Content in connection with operating and providing the Service. So, from now on, we are giving the rights to the company of each image, video, phrase or whatever one transmits by Discord. I do, really, not like this. And the second, which was what most caught my attention was this part about Crypto-coins. >VIRTUAL CURRENCIES AND VIRTUAL GOODS The Service may include an opportunity to obtain virtual currency ("Virtual Currency") or virtual goods ("Virtual Goods") that may require you to pay a fee using legal tender (that is, "real money") to obtain the Virtual Currency or Virtual Goods. Your purchase of Virtual Currency is final and is not refundable, exchangeable, transferable, except in the Companyโs or the platform providerโs sole discretion. You may not purchase, sell, or exchange Virtual Currency outside the Service. Doing so is a violation of the Terms and may result in termination of your Account with the Service and/or legal action. The Company retains the right to modify, manage, control and/or eliminate Virtual Currency and/or Virtual Goods at its sole discretion. Prices and availability of Virtual Goods are subject to change without notice. We shall have no liability to you or any third party for the exercise of such rights. You shall have a limited, personal, non-transferable, non-sublicensable permission to use solely within the Service Virtual Goods and Virtual Currency that you have earned, purchased or otherwise obtained in a manner authorized by the Company. You have no other right, title or interest in or to any such Virtual Goods or Virtual Currency appearing or originating in the Service. If any of you understand anything different from this part, please tell me in the comments but for me this has only one explanation. Discord is creating the foundations for being able to sell crypto-coins or, why not, create his own. If not, what other sense would this part have? # Did you know about these new Discord Terms of Use? What do you think of them? ______________________________________ # <center>@juanmiguelsalas ![Firma Gif.gif](https://steemitimages.com/DQmSgvWb7SsQm8TMfvUiyEsbfd7sH3M5YZZa7QRsqV2Q5vk/Firma%20Gif.gif)</center>

i'm not sure what it is about voice comms. i've been through them all, ventrilo, teamspeak and now discord. why do the marketing men get in there and start to turn them into cash machines. don't they realise people just want a voice comms system with no hype train? --- they use the OPUS codec that's why it sounds so clear in audio chats so maybe someone should start there. i could totally see an awesome steemit blockchain powered voice chat application, that would be so cool.

Amazing. So when I send an article to minnowsupport to be upvoted, I am giving Discord my rights over that content? I donยดt think that is even legally possible. I will reconsider using minnowsupport. Thank you for the insight.

If you write the article and upload the photos to Discord yes, you are giving them the rights but if you just share a link I do not think they have any rights at all. Anyway, I think you should read the Terms very carefully. Here they are https://discordapp.com/terms
