  Yeah. Soon as I realized that at some point Discord either has to sell or IPO the platform was eventually going to deteriorate.

  It’s already got some odd limitations. Character limits. Very tight file upload limit. And streaming limitations. But hey, Nitro/Boost fixes it.

  Worse part? If most of the limitations were removed for the price of $1 or $2 a month it might be more acceptable (at least for me). $10 feels steep for nitro. When I see that price tag, it signals I might not be the target audience. Which is weird when I’m pretty sure I’m a subset of the target audience.

  Yeah. I could simulate my own. But for the average pleb who already wary of trying unpopular applications, telling them they are “losing” features is usually a no go.

  Discord has become this place where I hang with multiple different groups of people from work, personal life and random online acquaintances. We game, talk politics, plan family/kid events and often it’s the fastest way to get a hold of someone. The soundboard as silly as it is one of the many meming features and my friends are usually into meming on each other.

  It’s to the point where when I propose to even my other Tech buddies that we spin up matrix or revolt server, one of them just offers to boost whatever server we’re on. People would rather pay than lose what they are used to using on Discord

  I’ve not logged in on my Reddit account since that big group boycott and switching to Lemmy.

  If Reddit didn’t hold some specific info for certain video games or just a much larger group participating in Tech/Selfhosted subreddits, I’d rarely have to visit the website.

  Honestly, to me the Reddit demise was happening organically anyway. For a lot of weirdly specific topics, Discord has become a good alternative.

  Now just don’t get me started on Discord and how it will eventually have to better monetize the platform and ruin that too. Wish Matrix had a soundboard for voice chat 😢

  Thank you. Read another article that didn’t mention what was being used. Now… it’s time to meme 🤡
