The effects of the ban are likely to hit the front lines in Ukraine as well, where both Kyiv and Moscow’s troops have been seen using Discord to coordinate drone operations.
Several videos posted online have shown uniformed men watching surveillance drone feeds on the platform, including one clip said to have captured the interior of a command post in Bakhmut.
There can’t seriously be respectable, noteworthy people in Russia saying that banning Discord is a mistake because it helps the Russian military. That’s bizzaro world stuff even for them.
Don’t worry, Russian military. I know a company in Hungary that sells pagers and walkie-talkies in bulk to facilitate communication.
Why doesn’t Russia just use the Russian state-sponsored communication platform?
What do you mean 80 year old radios keyed to commercial bands aren’t adequate in 2024?!?!
Russians using Telegram and Discord reaks of a ridiculously high level of incompetence…
Their military communications are not private at all? They have no encrypted messaging platforms? Like WTF
Early in the war one of their generals was bombed off the face of the earth because troops at his location were using their regular old cellphones for military coordination. Russian communication issues have been a huge stumbling block for them this whole time.
It’s pretty wild to think they took this long to prohibit using US-based software for such sensitive information
Maybe it took this long to develop an alternative. They now have an alternative… Right? The Kremlin wouldn’t send it’s citizens off to fight without being sufficiently equipped… Right?
They have tin cans and string. So they’re all set.
Don’t forget… the cans come full of potatoes so that’s like two tools in one!
i mean they could just really easily host a matrix instance or something
You do much video streaming on matrix? That’s what they were using discord for.
They still have those wire phones with a hand crank.
Maybe Putins buddies have stocks in the wire industry.
They still have those wire phones with a hand crank.
Good, because I don’t care how nice their soup cans are, there’s no way a string would be able to stay taut between Moscow and Donetsk.
Relaying sensitive information over your own wires are a lot more secure then a privately owned service from a foreign country. It’s just a lot more cumbersome.
