Good on discord for actually doing something given their reputation

[–] surph_ninja@lemmy.world 9 points 17 hours ago* (last edited 17 hours ago)

Given their reputation, you should question if it’s actually due to CP, or some other kind of possible political crackdown. I wouldn’t assume either way.

Usually when it looks like these people are doing their jobs for once, it turns out to be something in line with their previous shit.

i hate discord so much my first discord account got permabanned because the owner of a server i was in went nuts and doxxed 8 year olds and my second account i got locked out for a year because they thought i was a bot and i couldnt use my phone number to verify because it was already in use on my first account then when i finally got in it had a 6 month ban because a server i was in got raided by racists that said slurs

Lost yearly Nitro

You cuck.

[–] DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world 2 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

I've never had a Discord account. It's gamers, right?

[–] xor@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 15 hours ago

it’s just IRC in a web browser

[–] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 50 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I mean, if you’re on 4chan…

[–] VitoRobles@lemmy.today 21 points 1 day ago

This was my first thought.

Obviously did some shit then trying to gain sympathy like omg I was banned for being nice.

I'm legitimately paranoid about this scenario, especially since I'm in a couple of ERP servers, and I was friends with ReploidRevo.. yes THAT ReploidRevo, and never knew about what he did until after his downfall went viral. (Shocked the Hell out of me because he seemed so normal and on the up and up)

[–] nutsack@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

imagine gooning on main

gooner? or just curious?

[–] HawlSera@lemm.ee 1 points 15 hours ago

I don't know what you're talking about, it's just fun pretend roleplay with consenting adult other parties

[–] Butterpaderp@lemmy.world 98 points 1 day ago (7 children)

Never understood why anyone would want to pay 100$ a year for discord, the paid version doesnt give you that much imo

[–] Trollception@sh.itjust.works 7 points 19 hours ago (2 children)

To support the developers and pay for a product you use all the time? Same reason you pay for any software/game.

[–] satans_methpipe@lemmy.world 2 points 2 hours ago

Lol. Read their EULA

[–] tetris11@lemmy.ml 13 points 19 hours ago* (last edited 18 hours ago) (2 children)

I agree with you in principle for supporting developers directly through something like OpenCollective....

... but ask Mozilla how much their Firefox devs get for each financial donation.

Personally, Discord has facilitated a long distance relationship with my now wife, and nearly ten years of weekly TTRPG games. I don't mind the cost because they cannot provide that service for free forever, and I think it's worth it for what I get out of it. The other benefits they add for paying are almost just bonuses to me after that.

[–] KillingTimeItself@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 1 day ago (2 children)

you could also pay to host some shit like mumble.

[–] vithigar@lemmy.ca 8 points 18 hours ago* (last edited 18 hours ago) (1 children)

It cannot be overstated how much of a boon Discord's lack of friction is for connecting with people and forming communities. It is mind-flatteningly easy to get onto Discord and into a community, and while the content of those communities is woefully unindexed deep web, forever sequestered, the external discoverability of the communities themselves is exceptional.

You will not ever reach the same people with the same ease of use as Discord if you use a hosted alternative.

[–] KillingTimeItself@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 8 hours ago

the only "feature" that discord has is that other people use it.

If you're communicating with your wife over it, i can assure you the barrier to entry is the amount of time it takes to set up a mumble server, and the money that hosting it will cost. Configuring a mumble client takes like 12 seconds.

[–] iAmTheTot@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Mumble does not look like a replacement for all the things I use Discord for.

[–] KillingTimeItself@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 8 hours ago

certainly not, but it's a solid VOIP replacement. The best one on the market.

[–] pumpkinseedoil@mander.xyz 34 points 1 day ago

Which is a good monetation system. Premium users barely get anything but still enough to pay, while free users can do pretty much everything too.

[–] dev_null@lemmy.ml 12 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I pay $30 a year for Nitro Basic. It's only $2.50 a month and worth it to me with how much I use it.

[–] padge@lemmy.zip 3 points 18 hours ago

Same, I call it my "shitposting tax"

[–] Rin@lemm.ee 22 points 1 day ago

I spam 500mb uploads... it kinda makes sense to me

Lost yearly Nitro and all my friends

That’s sadder than he seems to understand it is.

[–] stevedice@sh.itjust.works 32 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I know "lol anon has no friends" is le epic funny meme but by friends, they obviously meant their contacts.

[–] mossy_@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago

I have a lot of people, I'd consider friends, that I only communicate with through discord. If I lost my account, I'd likely never hear from them again. Kinda get it.

This is one of the bigger reasons I don't want to use social media controlled by a corporation, it means they can choose to cut me off from people at their discretion, which will probably be based on what is convenient and easy for them.
