As Discord forces in more adverts and paid customization towards becoming a public company the CEO and Co-Founder, Jason Citron, has announced they're stepping down as CEO.
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.
Let’s not forget an even bigger problem with Discord: It locks your communities, including contacts and years of content and discussions created by members, behind some corporation’s terms and conditions whims. You (or your friends, or the “server” admin) can lose access to it all at any time, without warning. They can and have used this as leverage to extort personal info from people. A policy change, accident, or technical glitch can leave you out in the cold.
Computers and online tech has been popularized since the 90s, if they haven’t figured out even an iota of computer skills since then, well that’s on them
