MODERATORS
They should've never increased the size to 25MB. Now everyone is mad they can't upload files larger than 10MB, instead of being happy that Discord allows free file sharing up to 10MB.
That's why you need to keep free product features and small and useless as possible; people will happily take improvements but complain to hell and back if you accidentally overcommit.
Meanwhile most Lemmy servers have an upload limit of what, a megabyte?
Most Lemmy servers don't relentlessly track and sell everything you do though. Discord makes way more money off your data than it costs them to host.
Source that they make money off of uploaded files?
Didn't necessarily mean the files but the service as a whole
I agree, but the argument here is "why won't they let you upload more data if they make money off of it". My point is that it doesn't apply here, because uploaded files is not the data that can make them money.
