yeah, sure, over expansion. totally has nothing to do with the rapidly decreasing functionality of the app driving people away

[-] helenslunch@feddit.nl 10 points 2 years ago

I don't care about decreasing functionality, honestly. The basic functionality is more than sufficient.

I'm just tired of being annoyed to death by Nitro ads. At one point I paid for Nitro but the ads just kept coming, trying to get me to buy the next tier. And they kept getting worse and worse.

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

Whose being driven away?

I can’t convince anyone to drop it

[-] Kichae@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 years ago

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.

I feel for the staff but as a service I'd rather see matrix or something else FOSS replace it.

Same. Our communications and communities shouldn’t be owned by a company.

Whats wrong with IRC again?

[-] GuyMcGuy@startrek.website 4 points 2 years ago

It's not a one click solution. Users these days need those one button smartphone apps they can tap and it just works.

I use it to communicate with my wife. We tried signal and telegram. But discord works best for us and is reliable but also works on PC and mobile with ease. Qr logins are great.

Not a capitalist corporation

Same thing that was wrong with Usenet, independent web sites that aren't Facebook, and mailservers that aren't Gmail or Hotmail.

Be company

If you just need basic chat, Pidgin (via libpurple) supports Discord.
