"SNIP................
Its inevitable that there will be actors using the product for things that are not completely wholesome, Discord CEO Jason Citron told BuzzFeed News last week. Because we have such a large product, I think its inevitable that you have people who are misbehaving.
There are users who believe this kind of behavior is beyond misbehaving, however. After BuzzFeed News started writing about the platform, we were invited into a private Discord room full of anti-Trump trolls and greeted with a message reading viva la resistance. And another user, via Twitter DMs, tipped BuzzFeed News off to an extremist chatroom and signed their message, Please take care, and keep fighting the good fight a Good Troll.
Three good trolls" operating an anti-Trump Discord server agreed to speak to BuzzFeed News and explain how and why theyre hiding in some of the most vile chatrooms on the internet. All asked to remain anonymous to protect themselves from possible retaliatory harassment.
A user who asked to be referred to as Becky invited us into a number of chatrooms populated by neo-Nazis. The 23-year-old from Australia said she hides out in some of these rooms partly because of her personal history. My grandmother was a niece of Polish Jews, Becky said. So, I have no time for Nazis really.
