A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I'm not aware of what Discord has been doing that is causing people's concern. What are people currently concerned about re: Discord?
I accepted that it would have to start doing something eventually - it can't operate for free forever. But the only news I've heard recently is giving servers optional tools to monetise, and free users can continue to not use servers that do that. The few servers I've been in that do it are doing it ironically - donate to the sub to gain access to a channel with a giant 🍆 emoji and nothing else! Comments disabled! etc.
I wouldn't blame Patreon for somebody moving all their content behind a $20/m sub, I just wouldn't subscribe to them... so I'm not concerned with Discord until it enshittifies for users.
