There was a link to join a discord server via Discord.io that showed as a top Google result.
I clicked it not even aware it was 3rd party. Thankfully OAuth gave me the friendly confirmation page saying "You are about to connect with this third party service and grant full access to your account."
I said WTF? NO
Shame on the Discord legal team and their executive team for completely lacking diligence on this.
They don’t seem to mention it on their website. I don’t see any guideline for how to respect their trademark: https://discord.com/branding
Now the question, does it risk dilution if a company doesn’t say what’s allowed.
Interesting. That about sums up my opinion of their development team.
At least according to the EFF: https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2013/11/trademark-law-does-not...
> The circumstances under which a company could actually lose a trademark—such as abandonment and genericide—are quite limited. Genericide occurs when a trademark becomes the standard term for a type of good (‘zipper’ and ‘escalator’ being two famous examples). This is very rare and would not be a problem for Canonical unless people start saying “Ubuntu” simply to mean “operating system.” Courts also set a very high bar to show abandonment (usually years of total non-use). Importantly, failure to enforce a mark against every potential infringer does not show abandonment.
Granted, I don't use discord.io , so maybe I'm missing something.
> Salted and hashed passwords (mainly concerning users prior to 2018 when Discord.io began exclusively using Discord for logins)
So it sounds like they used to have their own accounts before integrating via Discord OAuth, and some users may be affected by this. Unsure if they didn't delete users' hashed PWs once they migrated to the OAuth flow or something like that.
This is basically all that log in with Google requires or provides and asking for more access would be abnormal.
