      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 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.

        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

        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.
