mastermindOne of Reddit’s biggest communities is suggesting users move to Discord
I like the continued migrations from Reddit but Discord doesn’t seem like the best destination
and discord will perform their own major enshittification stunt sooner or later
NepentheYeah, it seems they're beginning to head that way, with the nitro first and then the super emotes or whatever they're called. I suppose I can see, if it's server cost, but the unnecessary bells and whistles are beginning to bug me and it's only going to continue.
datenyanUnfortunately, it’s a natural result of Discord moving from being a useful little service to a “platform” with investors and needing to constantly be updated with useless nonsense to keep the “value” of the product alive.
Realistically, once everything was up and running, and they had moved their DB over to their current platform, someone should have taken the keys away from them and just said “Discord is done, it’s complete”. We likely wouldn’t be having this much of a problem with useful information being hidden away behind Discord server invite URLs.
unlucky for discord they are the most replaceable platform of them all and there are already selfhostable clones
