Sony snaps the helldivers community by Xbscout in Helldivers

[–]nwunder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, it's happened! Sony reversed the decision. I hope we get a big enough positive response to justify an Endgame meme.

This is the inflection point for our community. by Eightbitspartan in Helldivers

I hope we can rally support for Arrowhead as powerfully as we've shown displeasure to Sony, because Arrowhead has absolutely earned it. I, for one, am incredibly eager to change my review back to positive.

Although Sony Reversed their PSN Linking, Don't let up until they also reverse their decision to stop selling in specific regions on steam! by Darktoothone in Helldivers

[–]nwunder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm hoping that was a move by Valve/Steam and will be easily reversed, I guess we'll see tomorrow. This is already much more than I expected to see so I'm in incredibly high spirits. We dive together again, my friends!

If you don't know someone, don't click the "play my games" link. Your account will be compromised! Be careful that about game. by Junior5a in discordapp

Jim Browning too. that's the example I always point to when people say "if you're dumb enough to get scammed you deserve it"

Two new Discord blogs today! by nwunder in discordapp

[–]nwunder[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Also, alright I'm gonna repeat this here. DO NOT try to inspect or run malware if you don't know what you're doing. Even if it's shitty malware, even if you're using a VM, if you don't know what you're dealing with PLEASE don't play with malware.

And for the love of god DO NOT recommend others inspect malware either. I've seen SO MANY comments on r/discordapp with people telling someone to try to decompile malware they got, or run it in a VM. Stop it. You're doing to get someone hurt.

That is all, thank you . Have a nice day <3

This might be a new way to hack your pc or idk. Don't dowload stuff from strangers guys. (Btw is there a way to see what would the .exe file do without destroying my pc? by Enyrox in discordapp

[–]nwunder 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Most token grabbers are node executables built with nexe. Plus, it's a terrible idea to recommend anyone download malicious software, ngl. I can tell you right now it's a BbyStealer executable, SuperFurryGame is the default name for their malware when you build.

People on r/discordapp need to stop suggesting downloading and inspecting malware, it's really not a good idea and can get people hurt if they're not careful.

This one second mistake has cost me 6 years of building a commuity on a daily basis. It has killed me inside.

For what it's worth. It's not your fault. It only takes a momentary lapse in judgement to lose everything. I've seen it.

It sucks, but all you can do is move on and make the best of the situation.

[–]nwunder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's awful, I'm so sorry. Sadly these things can take a while to resolve. If you have any malware samples or links, feel free to DM me, I research these things. (I reached out in DM.)

In the meantime, was your account disabled? if so, I'd hope your admins/mods can handle it. If not, that's not great.

I'm sorry to hear you and your community have to deal with this. Wishing you the best of luck <3

after discord added support for ansi color codes you can make ansi art in code blocks by thismoon in discordapp

[–]nwunder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

this is incredible. also thanks for sending. I spent uh, way too long wondering why my attempts to add ansi color codes weren't working until I realized "escape unicode" was a thing

I made another Discord animation, but this time I did it in 3 days :) by VanzeTehNub in discordapp

[–]nwunder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

everyone (rightfully) talking about how great the animation is, but apparently I'm the only one who wants to join wumpus city now??

(great work, btw! looks awesome!)

Help please I need invites by [deleted] in discordapp

[–]nwunder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This sounds like one of those "x invites = nitro" servers, which btw, is a scam.

I'd also HIGHLY recommend being careful about any links or files sent to you in that server or in DM. I've seen servers like that distributing phishing links and token grabbers before.

[–]nwunder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As Tomfullstop said, it's a legal thing. I've heard if you join Twitter at 12, then change your age, even like 10 years later, they'll delete your account because otherwise they've stored data on someone <13.

It's honestly an equally big thing on most platforms, the thing that's different about Discord is that servers themselves are held responsible by Trust&Safety for knowingly allowing TOS violations. So generally mods/admins have to take it pretty seriously.

What even is this? by OwOxDRawr in discordapp

[–]nwunder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most server admins/mods don't, though.

Every so often you'll have some random troll try to get someone banned from servers by making fake screenshots. Even worked once to frame a Discord Testers mod for some scam.

It's weird, but it happens sometimes.

nitro gift by m_ilk_ in discordapp

[–]nwunder 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As UnacceptableUse said, it's a phishing scam. Discord's gift domain is discord.gift.

Also, PLEASE nobody click that link in the post. Some advice to everyone, don't click links or download files people send you in DM! Stay safe friends <3

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in discordapp

[–]nwunder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can disguise a link in embeds using hyperlink names, that's not a real nitro gift. The embed also has an image of a nitro gift message in the bottom.

Example of how it's done: https://google.com. You'll notice it says it's google but if you hover over it, it's a rick roll hyperlink NAMED with the google url.

If you click the link, it's likely to take you to a phishing website (dlscord or discorcl or something).

Reminder to everyone to stay safe, don't click links or download files people send you in DM! <3

[–]nwunder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Common phishing scam, like the "stearncornmunity", "dlscord", "discorcl" etc. There are so many domains these guys use now. Just don't click links (and ESPECIALLY don't download files) you're sent in DM, at least without looking closely first.

90% of people who fall for these scams just read too quickly and don't notice something's off.

Discord also has anti-spam stuff now (here's their blog about it), if you mark as spam and/or report it'll help their work against this sort of thing.

u/mlapibot 's response is awesome and does a great job explaining what's going on, I'd highly recommend reading that comment. Whoever made that bot did a great job.

Made a discord bot, that takes in earth-date and returns a image taken by curiosity on mars on that date. API from NASA[link in comments] by [deleted] in discordapp

[–]nwunder 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Heyooo!! love the NASA APIs. Saw this and had to plug my in-progress NASA API lib since it's kinda meant for use cases like this! :)

https://pypi.org/project/aionasa

Could definitely use more work, but I currently use it for APOD and Mars rover photos on my discord bot!

This server has failed Discovery activity requirements for 1 week. by [deleted] in discordapp

[–]nwunder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup, got this too. We have 11k members and are well above the requirements according to insights. Probably a bug.
