I'm curious as to how many here choose to use Discord over Matrix and pay them for the Nitro subscription.
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !askusa@discuss.online
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

I do. Full subscription. Originally I had Basic, but with banners and stuff being added I thought "ah fuck why not?" I spend a lot of time on the platform as staff for a large server, and frequent 2 or 3 others so I'm much more visible as a flagship and interacting with users than most normal users. I dont feel like the average user needs full nitro, but I can break down how I use/see the various features.

I dropped my 2 boosts on some friends servers, our server is partnered and doesn't need them, and I feel like boosts are....a silly money extraction tbh.
I use animated emotes frequently and emotes from other servers (and animated emotes from other servers) so that feature is worth it.
Increased file size is a godsend. I know this is artificially restricted and discord could be less stingy for free people, but for paid getting bigger uploads has helped tremendously when I have to use modmail on various servers. Send image proof? Easy. Video evidence? Done and done with that increased limit.
Banner? I like it tbh. Not necessary but I like it. In tandem with this is setting my own colors for profile.
I have never once used Remix.
Super Emojis has got to be the dumbest fucking thing I have ever heard of. You get like 5 per week, and is the first feature I go out of my way to use so I can justify its existence. Dumb as hell.
Streaming is nice. I dont usually use it but it is nice to be able to stream in our channels at max. I feel like this one is artificially gimped by Discord to get you to pay, so YMMV. I don't use this feature often.
