Never understood why anyone would want to pay 100$ a year for discord, the paid version doesnt give you that much imo
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.
Discord makes money by selling data, premium is just extra
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.
you could also pay to host some shit like mumble.
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.

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

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

Lol. Read their EULA
I spam 500mb uploads... it kinda makes sense to me
personally the $3 a month nitro is worth it for me, considering how much I use it. I know Lemmy hates anything capitalist but a coffee a month isnt that much
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.

Lost yearly Nitro and all my friends
That’s sadder than he seems to understand it is.
I know "lol anon has no friends" is le epic funny meme but by friends, they obviously meant their contacts.
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.

Good on discord for actually doing something given their reputation
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 mean, if you’re on 4chan…
This was my first thought.
Obviously did some shit then trying to gain sympathy like omg I was banned for being nice.
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.
And as Reddit has shown they will shut you down for expressing any political opinion they don't like.
Luigi is an American hero. Whether he did it or not is irrelevant. It's what he stands for.

- Three-year-old* account with no violations
- 5-year-old* alt account
Anon doesn't know, Discord fails to include a libre software license text file. We do not control it, anti-libre software.

And I'm not looking forwards to the effort it is going to take to get my friends to migrate away from discord. It was hard enough to get them on discord in the first place.
On this topic: I currently have installed on my phone and computer: slack, zoom, MSTeams, element, discord, Facebook messenger and signal to communicate in various projects and friends. What is this madness?!

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)

That is kinda bullshit if they didn't even see the content.
I mean, seeing as it’s a 4chan greentext there’s probably some very important information being left out.

Same happened to me but with animal cruelty content or something. I tried to get the account back but turns out it was a "ban wave" so a lot of other people who got banned but were innocent were doing the same so discords services got overwhelmed by the appeals. Maybe they should have realized after that that this kinda banning is a horrible approach.
This is why people should be worried of using these massive services, luckily it was ‘only’ Discord (if this was your primary way to interact with friends, this can be a huge deal).
But imagine if it was your email account!
Getting a reputable provider, self hosting or using a decentralized option is paramount for your own sanity.
There was that man who was all in on Google.
He had a telemedicine appointment for his son who had a problem with his penis. Dr asked him to send a close-up photo so he could diagnose the skin condition
So the guy takes the photo with his pixel phone and sends it
The phone automatically backs up the photo
Google's AI says it's child porn, his account is deleted and police are contacted
Police look into it and say "not porn, totally fine" but have to go to his house to tell him the was no problem because his phone was Google, his internet was Google fibre, his email was Gmail and his photo album was on Google and all that was irrevocably deleted

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
Anon's big mistake was not being the President of the Gulf of America.
I have a Discord but I hear a lot about how easily you can get banned, largely on the whims of the people running a single server, so I've always been a bit reluctant to use it.
Also, I find it genuinely disturbing how much information all these companies have about you and your stuff.
Anon forgot to put their interpersonal relationships in a RAID array
I created a Discord account so I could try Midjourney and my account got blocked within a few hours. I use a VPN most of the time, can't remember if I was with Discord so might have had the same IP as another user. Didn't bother to set up another account.
