Unicorn Riot has obtained screenshots and server logs documenting the contents of a Discord server called ‘Pony Power’ that was created on August 17, just five days after neo-Nazi James Fields drove his car into a crowd of antifascist and civil rights marchers in Charlottesville, killing one and injuring nineteen. While Discord closed several servers shortly after Unite The Right and made an official statement denouncing white supremacy, many of the same groups and users continue to openly use the company’s services to organize, plan, and recruit. These organizations have been named, along with individuals who planned the rally, in a $3 Million lawsuit from 2 of the people injured when James Alex Fields, Jr. With most, or all, of the organizations involved in Unite The Right actively using Discord in their everyday work, the platform has been described as having a monopoly on the internal communications of the modern white supremacist movement. A large amount of the central work putting the rally together took place over Discord, a voice and text group platform used by gamers. In the immediate aftermath of the violence against protesters, ending in the death of Heather Heyer in Charlottesville, VA on August 12, attention turned to methods of communication used to organize the Unite The Right event. Lincoln, NE – Far-right white supremacists are continuing to use the Discord online chat platform to organize stalking and hacking campaigns against their anti-racist opponents.
