I am more on the IT side of things, and want to also transition to infosec. I have taken some CEH labs in college, but didn't get the cert, and I have the training materials for OSCP but didn't study it. I have CS&Engr, & Digital Forensics. My IT background mainly is on network/sysadmin with some *nix. What do you suggest in terms of what I should look for? Titles I've been applying to are security engineer, and SoC analyst and such with no luck. Or do you think OSCP is something I should dig into and get on my own?
What's the issue? Maybe the user doesn't have a phone number to give. Maybe the user already has that phone number attached to another account. Maybe they don't want to attach their phone number to a huge set of data, depending on their use, if indeed discord sells or begins to sell it. Rhetorical question if you ask me.
What are you talking about? I've tried to create an account before it and would not let me without giving them a non-voip phone number.
YMMV should be included in that statement.

I'm simply arguing what the point is that I quoted, that it is obnoxiously heavy (250mb minimum ram, sometimes 450Mb+,) uptime is questionable, buggy application, and does care about user privacy. They force you to use a non-voip phone number for account creation now in some cases. Or joining some servers.
-Lots of server downtime -Obnoxious amount of system resource use -Crashing -Bugs -Forced updates -Privacy concerns. (Scans your open processes, etc)
Some of us can agree to disagree.
Are you sure that's not also including the data they are selling of its users?
I disagree wholeheartedly. Discord uses 250mb+ minimum in RAM to handle simple voice chat, whereas alternatives like mumble in this example use 20mb. The voice codec and quality is arguably better and with less down time. Discord servers often go down and I've found myself having to switch to central or whatever to get it to work.
