        It’s really funny watching them add paid features that older, established messengers have for free

          Genuinely just thinking of getting my tech illiterate friends onto matrix finally. Fucking discord’s been keeling and enshittifying (natural course for software like it ofc) but don’t think i can deal with their shit anymore. Shitty store shoved down your throat, bad performance/privacy, paid stuff like custom emojis, going public…

          Yeah fuck this, i should’ve jumped ship years ago.

      I tried signing up yesterday but kept getting a registration error, im guessing I wasn’t the only one with that idea, and their servers got strained

    Looking forward to Discord’s enshittification. I’m annoyed at how many people expect you to use this insecure platform.

      I can’t stand the fact that discord is used as a forum for many open source projects.

      It’s horrible, it weights a lot, it’s not easily searchable and it’s completely excluded from Google search results. Bring back forums!

    leaving reddit was easy. i only had to move myself.

    leaving discord will be almost impossible, as I’ll have to move a dozen or so normies whom it took years getting them onto discord in the first place.

    Discords ui and feature popups are kinda annoying and all, people apparently do not appreciate what they give us for free.

    Teamspeak had stagnated from being top dog for so long.

    People are really going to miss the Discord of today when you start getting banner ads flashing at the bottom of the screen or limited server slots.

    Got my fingers crossed the Discord IPO will be an absolute shitshow and no one is prepared to sink money into an already enshittified app.

      Yes, people are very stupid if they invest in such a shitty platform. They’re going to lose all of their money.
