#2> When a user logged into a voice room closes the DISCORD application window by clicking on the "X" icon at the top right of the window in Microsoft Windows, they actually just put the application in the background and stay logged into the voice room.
> DISCORD's behavior is different and may lead to users being heard by other members in the voice room when they thought they had left.
Yeah, that's bad
I'm not such a big fan of password policies but 6 characters with no rate-limiting seems bad as well

However, in Microsoft Windows, clicking on the "X" at the top right of the last visible application window will exit the application for the vast majority of applications.
Interesting this is considered [Microsoft] Discord's fault and not Microsoft Windows. I quit Discord with Cmd-Q, does Alt-F4 not do the right thing on Windows? The only popular program I know evil enough to override Cmd-Q is Chrome, and I blame Apple for the failing.

Doesn't Skype have the same behaviour? Clicking "X" doesn't close the application.

Probably because Discord implements the button, no? They configure what happens when you press "X", so their configuration is in violation, not the platform.

Alt-F4 closes the _window_, not the application. If the application can 'survive' without a window, not exiting the application is the correct behaviour.

I think the expectation of Windows users is that the X does in fact quit the application, so they don't reach for Alt-F4 the same way Mac users reach for Cmd-Q when they want to quit an application.
Basing this on the common complaint of "Why does the application still stay in the Dock after I close it?" from Windows to Mac switchers.

AFAIK ALT+F4 is the equivalent of clicking the close window button on Windows, or on macOS. It does not necessarily quit the application.
Teams and Spotify, for example, by default don't quit. Many others have a "keep application running when window is closed".

Yes and Slack does the same.

So just the same as Microsoft Teams or the vast majority of nowadays applications.
