Stop doing Discord
- capitalists were not supposed to own your community
- Years of hanging out yet no real-world use found for sending your private data to be sold to advertisers
- Wanted to leak private data anyway for a laugh? We had a tool for that; it was called "turning off ublock origin"
- "Yes please search our chat archive for answers to your question. it will certainly remain up forever and not get deleted when the shareholders realize it's not profitable" statements dreamed up by the utterly deranged
Look at what discord admins have been demanding your respect for all this time:
- task manager screenshot, discord using 97% of CPU
- discord making too many automated requests and getting throttled
- crash screenshot
"3rd-party client? lifetime ban"
They have played us for absolute fools
Based on this image macro
Roger wilco? 🤣 I remember seeing an advertisement for Roger wilco in a program installer and was so jazzed about the idea of talking with my friends over voice while playing games lol
Honestly if anything wants to unseat discord they have a looooong ways to go. Discord is, imo, the most important communication tool since web forums became a thing.
I think a lot of people only have a couple of servers joined and don't really interact with them.
For developers it's worth is incalculable. There is a reason I happily pay for nitro.
Not all services are bad. If they had sold to MS or whatever company was courting them a while back then I would have had an issue, but literally all they have to do is just keep being good.
