@verge never understood why people use this garbage tier service. I used it for a brief spell some years ago - absolutely hated everything about it. Hard to find info - crap organization, lame monetizing scheme. Total trash. This should be the needle that breaks the camels back for many.
15 years ago Discord had a very good thin client set-up that was great for streaming, and great for video-calls, but unfortunately the enshittification has kicked in.
So fat-client and so slow, their website is.
-
@verge Ah yes, *there's* the enshittification.

@verge sounds like time to reevaluate how much I really need discord installed.
Sounds like I'm really not eager to try discord anymore @sofonofos 🤍

@verge 'let's use discord for documentation'. What could possibly go wrong?

@verge Agh! Couldn't they have waited until Matrix and/or Delta Chat was ready as a Good replacement? -

@verge Glad I never became dependent on this shitty IRC knockoff
-
@woozle @netskaven @verge because people who tell others to move their communities offer no suggestions as to suitable alternatives?
Even if they're now spoiled rotten by llms, search engines still work well enough to look for them. If your community is to move, it has to be a collective decision and they should do some work too.

@verge to be fair, it’s about time that Discord takes this responsibility and does not have all the “servers” request and validate PII as a hobby

@verge Okay, time to delete my account.
-
@netskaven The immediate* problem is all the people who will be like "well, that's annoying, but I guess we have to do it" and won't make any effort to move their communities.
(...and it's easier to say "well then, you don't need that community if they're going to be like that" than it is to actually do it, in many cases.)
*edit; there are additional layers to this.
@netskaven @verge @woozle yeah many of my discord friends are like "Twitter sucks so I'm just going to quit social media entirely" rather than try something else, so I expect it will be "just going to quit discord, bye"
