yeah, sure, over expansion. totally has nothing to do with the rapidly decreasing functionality of the app driving people away
there is literally nothing they can offer me for me to ever consider giving them money. If anything the amount of trash they are pushing in then locking behind pay walls then shoving stupid popups and crap will drive me away.
I’m sure ventrilo still works fine.
The reason that I will never buy discord nitro, it’s because they aggressively pushed their nitro light on me one time, and I saw that it included an increase to the file size. I foolishly thought, well clearly if they’re increasing the file size, then the character limit must also be increased like in regular nitro. Nah, couldn’t even include a boost to the character limit.
I’m sure ventrilo still works fine.
I wonder if Roger Wilco is still around…
EDIT: Turns out it is not, and its properties are most likely currently owned by Electronic Arts, unfortunately.
I don’t care about decreasing functionality, honestly. The basic functionality is more than sufficient.
I’m just tired of being annoyed to death by Nitro ads. At one point I paid for Nitro but the ads just kept coming, trying to get me to buy the next tier. And they kept getting worse and worse.
Personally I cancelled my Nitro subscription when they updated the community guidelines almost a year ago. The rules on firearms discussion were overly vague and open to Youtube levels of abuse from admins
Whose being driven away?
I can’t convince anyone to drop it
Yeah, people seem to love it, to the point where people push it every time a corporate social platform does something sketchy, totally oblivious to how incredibly sketchy Discord, the corporate social platform, is.

It’s so bad.
This. I can’t find who’s online in each server anymore. All I want to see is who’s online, but not in voice chat. Apparently I have to hit a couple of different buttons, then slide to the side to see it. It shouldn’t be that hard.
I feel for the staff but as a service I’d rather see matrix or something else FOSS replace it.
Same. Our communications and communities shouldn’t be owned by a company.

Whats wrong with IRC again?
It’s not a one click solution. Users these days need those one button smartphone apps they can tap and it just works.
I use it to communicate with my wife. We tried signal and telegram. But discord works best for us and is reliable but also works on PC and mobile with ease. Qr logins are great.
Not a capitalist corporation
Same thing that was wrong with Usenet, independent web sites that aren’t Facebook, and mailservers that aren’t Gmail or Hotmail.
Be company
Lay off 10-20% of staff
???
Profit
There will only be 13 patches per week now.
If you just need basic chat, Pidgin (via libpurple) supports Discord.
