So... I got accepted into the @discordapp Hypesquad. And you know what? So can you! Apply here : discordapp.com/hypesquad?ref=… And let me know ;)

@IntCyberDigest Lekker die data naar AI blijven sturen, komt het lekker allemaal in de modellen te zitten en kan iedereen er straks gratis bij :D (Dit is sarcasme trouwens.)

@danielvdeutekom "You do not negotiate with terrorists." Als die hackers het zo goed voor hadden met de mensheid hadden ze uberhaupt niks gelekt, en met Odido om de tafel gaan zitten om hun problemen te fixen.

Opnieuw kiest iedereen de lijn van de overheid. De KNVB werd in 2023 gehackt. 1 miljoen persoonsgegevens dreigden op straat te komen liggen. Ze betaalden ruim 1 miljoen euro. Eén euro per persoon. Nu, drie jaar later, zijn de gegevens nog steeds niet gelekt. Odido zou 0,10 euro per persoon betalen voor waardevollere data.

@LudditeHacker I'm happy Odido didn't pay. You don't negotiate with terrorists. And I say this as a person that is in the leaks.

Dutch telco company is going to allow a hackergroup publish private data of 1/3 of the entire population instead of paying the measly sum of 1 million euros. Now our data is used as a PR device for the hacker group, which is probably much more valuable to them than a million.

@locuta Maar he, het was geen hack, maar een simpele social engineering phising truukje. Wat weerhoudt "Piet de hacker" ervan om hetzelfde truukje te doen bij Freedom? En dan op dezelfde manier een export te maken van het klanten bestand zoals gebeurde bij Odido?

Elke bewuste keuze helpt. De hack bij Odido laat zien dat 'het zal wel goed zitten' geen strategie is. RT=lief Klant worden bij Freedom, Fairphone, Laposta of The Good Cloud nog liever. ;) 11/11

🧵Draadje over wat je kunt doen: De hack bij Odido is weer zo’n wake-up call die we al te vaak krijgen. Er zijn allerlei persoonlijke gegevens buitgemaakt. Wat het extra wrang maakt: ook mensen die al járen geen klant meer zijn, kregen bericht dat hún gegevens zijn gelekt. 1/11

@TheoryWiseOS "Tell me you never played RS3 at higher levels, without telling me." type shit.

Runescape 3's playerbase is melting down over their 15 minutes of afk being turned into 2-3 minutes of afk. This is further evidence that when you curate your game's audience around people who don't want to play, you end up being unable to actually make it better. As a firm reminder, QoL isn't always good. Convenience isn't always king. The joy of labor is why OSRS connects with people.

@IngdDijj @odidonederland Zoals die van mij:

@IngdDijj @odidonederland Check haveibeenpwned.com eens met je mail adres. Bijna gegarandeerd dat je mail er tussen staat. Email lekken gebeuren meer (en vaak ook :O) dan alleen bij Odido.

Beste @odidonederland wat gaan we doen aan alle spam mails die er ineens binnenkomen 😭😵‍💫 1 dag en 181 spam mails binnen

@SolvaVT AI;DR

I gave Discord 10 years of my life. Now, we all need to start leaving. I've been using Discord since I was 16 — it'll be 10 years this year. I've never cancelled my Discord Nitro since June 2017, and I've paid €5, then €10 every single month until today. I became a member of the Discord HypeSquad Online as early as August 2017, then, when the program closed and was replaced by the 3-House HypeSquad test — which has now completely disappeared since summer 2025 — I joined Discord HypeSquad Events in 2019. Back then, you had to film a video to introduce yourself, explain your projects, what Discord had brought to your life. I did it with so much enthusiasm — I was proud to represent this software that had given me a social life for the very first time! In 2022, I became a Discord Partner. I was one of the last Discord Partners to be accepted before the program was permanently shut down. I remember the joy I felt that day. It was the ultimate achievement! My first application dated back to December 2017, and at the time, Aspekt — I have no idea what became of him — told me that the Partnership was reserved for gaming communities. After yet another rejection, I was so sad that he gave me a t-shirt to comfort me (see the screenshot!). Everything changed with COVID. Discord wanted to become a platform for everyone, not just gamers. I was really excited about this shift — at the time, I was running a community about autism! In November 2022, I happily attended a meetup for French-speaking Discord Partners on the sidelines of Paris Games Week! That's where I met Discord staff for the first time: Mindy & Eva. I had nowhere to sleep that night, I'd come from far away, I didn't want to miss the event for anything in the world, so they paid for a night in a luxury hotel for me. It was insane — I cried tears of joy. That's the last good memory I have with Discord. After that, everything slowly but surely started to fall apart. The programs closed one after another. HypeSquad Events, Partner, then Verified. The hiatus remained indefinite, then the servers were deleted or archived. Every time, they promised us it was temporary, yet we could clearly see that one by one, all the Discord staff in charge of community projects were being laid off. It started with Mallory's departure. Discord lost one of its most popular staff members, and it ended with Quikblend's layoff. Names you all know if you were even slightly involved in the scene between 2017 and 2024. As you've probably gathered, I had a genuine autistic obsession with Discord. I still regularly wear my Partner hoodie, I proudly display the figurine given to all Partners — the last gift Discord ever gave its community program at Christmas 2023. Discord was THE PLACE TO BE. The team truly listened to us, there was a real sense of equality between the community and its representatives. I've lost count of how many community projects brought us all together. Never had a social platform managed to be so much on the side of its users. And now, everything has changed. None of this happened overnight. Over the years, Discord was taken over. By whom, why, I don't know. I didn't look into it. They started force-feeding us Nitro ads, moderation became opaque, with no contact whatsoever possible with the Trust & Safety team anymore. Discord's 10th anniversary was, and I'm not joking, one of the most anticlimactic events in History. I have better memories of the 7th anniversary than the 10th! And then advertising arrived in the form of Quests. And then the cosmetics shop, name plates, avatar decoration. And as if that wasn't enough, to really milk us like cash cows, gradient colors and server guilds require additional boosts to be used. And there I am, like an idiot, still buying. I'm sorry to put it this way, but everything has turned to shit. The nail in the coffin for me was the announcement of mandatory age verification for everyone. Even though, in theory, I wouldn't be affected — having recently received a message from Discord saying I'd been placed in the adults group — I am disgusted by this ultimate betrayal, this umpteenth spit in the face of a community whose staff was once closer than ever. Discord holds a monopoly on instant messaging. After climbing the ranks, overcoming adversity, burying its competitors, Discord did what every company in its position has done: enshittification. I don't blame them for everything. I understand that the internet bubble born from COVID burst, that spending cuts had to be drastic, but in the meantime, something changed at Discord. A Reddit user was already warning in 2024 about deteriorating working conditions, and you can find plenty of testimonies on Glassdoor. They haven't been on our side for a long time, and if I needed one last piece of proof to convince myself, here it is. Palantir, Peter Thiel, the Epstein Files. This post is already long enough without me adding more — do your own research, it's vomit-inducing. I never thought I'd say this, but I'm now actively looking for an alternative to Discord. The transition won't happen overnight, and since my social life is still essentially on this platform, it'll take me months, maybe 1 to 2 years, but I'm going to leave this app, and I fully intend to take my entire community with me. Discord has had its time, and from now on, I'm calling for the emergence of an alternative with its own identity, one capable of going back to the roots of what made Discord successful in the first place. The fact is that Discord is now incapable, in every regard, of embodying that.I am so, so disappointed. These memories only live in my head now. Now, we all need to start leaving. They really ruined everything.

@ValourApp So... You basically just told all your UK users to fuck off and not use your service?

We're seeing apps other than Discord bend the knee on face-scanning age verification laws. To be clear: Valour is US-based and we do not care about totalitarian laws being passed in the UK and other countries around the world. We operate under US law and will ignore any requests or regulatory fines imposed by overseas governments. We are aware this may end with us being blacklisted from visiting the UK and other jurisdictions or even being barred from using services hosted in said countries. We still don't care. Our users come first.

@JudyMokum @jstsch @odidonederland Nah, dit gebeurd al jaren, die systemen van die gappies bellen 100den nummers tegelijk. Ook als deze helemaal niet bestaan/in gebruik zijn. Net zolang totdat er iemand opneemt, luk raak blijven proberen.

@jstsch @odidonederland Ik ben inmiddels al door de eerste oplichter benaderd: wieheeftgebeld.nl/nummer/3165801…

Eerste alinea persbericht Odido: “Er zijn geen wachtwoorden, belgegevens of factuurgegevens betrokken.” Na doorklik verstopt: naam, adres en zelfs paspoortgegevens. Schandalige woordvoering van @odidonederland odido.nl/veiligheid

@spinelessaisha Not sure you should believe a word a Hasan "It's Israels fault" Piker (The Dogzapper) orbiter has to say.

FINALLY. CAN WE NOW MOVE ON FROM DISCORD??? and can you guys recommend alternatives that are actually encompassing similar features? no, not teamspeak. something that is as easy to recommend to a friend but not as poorly executed

@goingonchain @sosonosonosono Pro-Protip: Uninstall brave browser, it's worse than Apple, Meta and Google combined. They sell your data, and are a crypto miner in disguise ;)

@sosonosonosono protip: brave browser gives you YT for free

i genuienly can't believe people like this actually exist wtf do you mean you pay for youtube

@WB1493 @BarryK62076 @YerayMartinez05 @Zoalsjij @mediamarkt_nl Same here, eerst Factuur, 10 minuutjes later dit + track en trace

@BarryK62076 @YerayMartinez05 @LordDuskEN @Zoalsjij @mediamarkt_nl Ik ontving zojuist via de mail mijn factuur en ging in de mediamarkt app kijken en bij mij staat er nu dat de nintendo switch is verzonden. Dus ik denk echt dat je hem morgen kan verwachten!

@WB1493 @Zoalsjij @mediamarkt_nl hier dus: x.com/BrandonJLarry/…

@WB1493 @Zoalsjij @mediamarkt_nl Ik heb geen mail gehad van vertraging, maar zag dat er net ook alweer mailtjes waren verstuurd dat er een foutje was in de backoffice en dat de vertragingsmails als niet verzonden beschouwd kunnen worden...

@odidonederland Meine Götte, een heel drukwerk om te lezen, haha. Een simpele "Hey, vervelend dat je hier last van ondervind, maar we verzekeren je dat we hier niks voor in rekening brengen, of iets aan kunenn doen."

@LordDuskEN Op onze website kun je meer lezen over hoe fraudeurs te werk gaan en wat je kan doen: odido.nl/phishing. Het spijt me dat we geen verder onderzoek kunnen doen. We hadden je graag meer willen helpen, maar ik hoop dat deze informatie je voldoende verder helpt. ^Demi 5/5

@odidonederland Wie moet ik aanspreken om een melding te doen van spoofing? Blijkbaar gebruiken scammers mijn telefoonnummer voor hun praktijken en daar word ik uiteraard niet zo vrolijk van.

Misschien is het handig om deze nog even onder de aandacht te brengen.

@niveautjeg8 @chrisklomp @BarneveldRobert Sterker nog, hij had er maar 7 nodig. Maar het merendeel van de piepers hier snapt die 7 woorden niet, en hebben er 2000 nodig om het (nog steeds niet) te snappen.

@chrisklomp @BarneveldRobert Als je 2000 woorden nodig hebt om uit te leggen wat je bedoelt...

Zes jaar na deze reactie menen mensen nog steeds dat ze hier boos over mogen worden. Even Google gebruiken, lieverds. Lees en leer. Wie weet ben je dan een keer onderdeel van de bestrijding van kindermisbruik, in plaats van onderdeel van het probleem.

@realtwitcourt En terecht, in beide gevallen.
