- Comment on Revolt server ( Linux + Steam Deck devs / creators) 2 weeks ago:
- Fancy layout and theme
- Easy to understand. Receive a Discord link and it’ll ask you to download Discord or join using their web app.
- Media support (images, gifs, videos, sounds), Youtube embed, etc
- Easy to make your own server. Click 5 things and you have one.
- Voice chat with screenshare and even party games
- Free (but ofcourse they steal your data)
- Channels purely for pinning and sharing information. Including channels that look more like a forum.
- No need to remake an account on all the servers.
- And a lot more.
People want something else though because Discord is very bad privacy wise. They keep shoving their premium features in your face. Have horrible support and can ban for an out of context “i’m 10 years old”. (Even if the next message is “i’m joking”). They have been known to share information about protest organizers with governments, take an extremely long amount of time to remove malicious and predatory servers. And so much more.
People want something that can offer them the comfort of Discord, with the freedom of IRC.

- Comment on This Steam Deck mount looks silly, but greatly reduces the risk of dropping Valve's handheld on your face while gaming in bed 1 month ago:
What an overkill of a device…
I once came across some random woman who uploaded hours and hours of videos of her life on YouTube. It was just cameras in her house. She slept in the middle of the room. Extremely weird. Anyways back on topic, she had a metal arm that was mounted the end of her bed which allowed her to have her phone above her head.
Thanks for reading.

They could have made their own advertising network and force it to be used instead.

I really dislike the way they hide the original prices on Steam now.
I think it even goes against some consumer rules here in Europe.

- Comment on Steam Deck hits 17,000 games playable and verified 3 months ago:
Maybe there are some games with 1 rating which is done by their developer.
Although that only works for a few sales.
- Comment on Elon Musk Says He Owns Everyone's Twitter Account in Bizarre Alex Jones Court Filing 3 months ago:
No but somebody else can own the creator of what was written on the board. That might be a bit weird in today’s terms if it’s a person, but if it’s a company that wrote that stuff it can legally become somebody else’s, which is what is happening with Infowars.
Twitter has always allowed a company to own their own account, and even transfer it and be used by multiple people. For example how Biden’s account is used by his staff. But now X starts meddling with this specific case, which is very questionable.
And if you’re going to say that “it’s his own account”; lawyers were saying that his “personal brand” is too heavily intertwined with Infowars and that it should be part of the Infowars brand.
