How in the hell has that app gone so far down? This must be a record in enshittification.

Yeah, di$cord has definitely been speedrunning the deterioration of their platform.

It's a shame because they started as a darling of the gaming community with a lot of loyalty when people were switching to micro$hit like $lack and team$.

I guess capitalism and endless growth don't actual translate to improved products for the rest of us. Go figure.

It'll be nice when our species moves to decentralized platforms like Matrix, but every day we wait is another day I don't get to enjoy it.

Mark my words, any free service that hosts images is on the cycle. I saw it happen to Reddit and Imgur

Promising to host everyone's data for free forever is a promise that only a devil at a crossroads can make

I warned my friends that Discord is looking to go public. Just wait, it's going to get a lot worse.

I don't know if you saw the news last month but Discord just replaced a founder with a former Activision-Blizzard exec as CEO.

Well they changed CEOs a month ago

We've never reached levels of Joever this high and Biden stopped being President in January, so you know its bad.
