@SuperDicq discord is also part of the propaganda because one of the reasons it got popular was that it didn't spread your IP (except for the times that it did)

@SuperDicq @Jes teamspeak can expose your ip to other clients in a couple different ways if not properly configured, this is probably what they are thinking of. fear of this tracks back to before windows computers had integrated firewall. in the 1990s I worked for a government infrastructure program and every pc with internet was a windows box with a publicly routable ip and no firewall at all.

@sun @SuperDicq video sharing does by default use P2P and it seems like they're working on a way to do it server side
But at the same time though, you will leak your IP to ever server you visit, the server admins will see it

@Jes @SuperDicq yeah you're right, I think most peoples knowledge of computers is not very structured it's just a collection of facts so they hear teamspeak leaks your ip and they think its leaked to the server or something haha.

@sun @SuperDicq if you're worried about your friends doxxing or ddosing you, you need better friends lmao

@Jes @SuperDicq kids are swapping ip addresses online, 9 out of 10 parents are unaware of this dangerous activity.

@sun @SuperDicq reminds me that when discord released video calls they exposed your IP in the client and it took them months to remove it lol
