Maybe it's because I live in California and we have rules about this shit to a degree but I remember it being as simple as logging in and saying "end this shit bitch"

If that changed/isn't the case elsewhere then yeah fuck em burn it

I cancelled mine last month, it was literally a couple of clicks. I got some ads about "all the things I would be losing" for some time after and that was it.

This lawsuit is specifically about them breaking California law, so it still isn't simple enough I suppose

Friendly reminder you can cancel your trial version / free month if you have activated one recently, and you'll keep the perks until your trial runs out.

Glad they are going for this, although it seems a bit weird that they aren't going for bigger players that have similar or worse tactics.

Idk where they live but pressing cancel can't be that difficult surely.
Unless they changed that.

I never saw a reason to give my not-do-hard-earned money to discord, but I have done so elsewhere online, and I will continue to do so.

My approach is always the same: I use this one card I have that is by default blocking online purchases. But I can through my bank app allow online purchases for the next hour. Works great for those "free" trials that require your card details, hoping you'll forget to subscribe.

Reminder for everybody to never install Discord. It functions as a desktop web app, and you can even use it like so on your phone. You shouldn't even give Discord your phone number, tbh, and you should never pay them money.
