Neo-Nazis Are Fleeing Discord, Heading To Messaging App Popular With ISIS Supporters
Andrew Anglin, who runs the infamous neo-Nazi blog called “Daily Stormer,” is encouraging his fellow white supremacist and anti-Semitic activists to flee their online homes on chat servers popular with gamers in favor of an end-to-end encryption chat service called Telegram.
In a post published this morning, Anglin asserted that Discord, a chat service widely used in the gaming community that served as a safe space for alt-right extremists to organize, “is potentially very dangerous.”
“I think we should all stop using it,” Anglin wrote. “Immediately.”
Anglin went on to note that the Daily Stormer’s own Discord room was removed after the violent white nationalist Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, last year, and claimed that he personally stopped using Discord soon afterward.
The post also mentions an article written by Kelly Weill at The Daily Beast, who reported that Discord was partnering with the Southern Poverty Law Center to root out hate groups using the service and that independent media houses, primarily the Unicorn Riot media collective, had begun publishing data ripped from alt-right Discord servers. Anglin expressed worry over Unicorn Riot’s claims that they have between 50 and 60 more leaked chat logs to publish.
