…Who would be in the Microsoft Discord? Why?

Wasn’t there some old internet saying that once megacorps join a social media platform en masse, it’s uncool? What happened to that?

Diehard Windows fanboys exist and believe in the myth that their voice in a corporate Discord server matters

Oneplus did listen to the community during the Oneplus 1 and 2 era, but everything started going to shit slowly. Now they are just another soulless flagship churning factory

This, I was there when it happened.

They actually hired a few from our ranks (rom community) to work on Oxygen OS.

I myself received an Oppo find 7a for testing (Chinese version of what would become the one plus 1)

They got internally removed by parent company. Now Oneplus is just rebrand of Oppo

believe it or not there are microsoft fanboys so it doesn’t surprise me there is a discord. You can also find A LOT of them on bluesky of all places where they seem to be worse than the “just use linux” people.

Jesus fucking christ, proselyting for the majority OS for a corporation worth billions?

Hundreds of billions.
Show threadSkullgridMar 2
hundreds of billions are still billions
Show threadbitjunkieMar 2
Hundreds of billions are also thousands. Orders of magnitude matter.

And it’s a ~3 Trillion dollar company, so…

Maybe to you, I wouldn’t pay that much myself

If you’re buying any broad market funds with your 401k… Then you are.

Joke’s on me, I don’t have any retirement savings!

Hundreds of billions is a more accurate figure. You could’ve also said they’re worth multiple dollars and had been correct.

I use to go to lan parties and the amount of fellating of microsoft shit was off the scale. I once heard someone getting shittalked for having an apple monitor hooked to their windows pc. But if you ask them for some tech help with a problem, they give you the most jank solution. Or they tell you to install some weird ass driver off a sketchy website. No wonder they have to use antivirues.

For a long time, I was platform agnostic and eventually I gave up on antivirus hooping and I realized that you don’t actually download weird shit and run shit without vetting it. Never got a virus on my windows partition.

The Windows subreddit used to be one of the easiest to get banned from. If you made even the slightest hint that Windows wasn’t perfect they’d kick you out. And it wasn’t MS doing this: it was their fans.

Yes. Discord has been uncool for a while.

Is this true anymore?

I feel like corporate astroturfing has gotten so intense that users are either oblivious, or get acclimated to it and keep using the platform. Because, you know, where else are you gonna go?

you’re thinking of the unofficial Microsoft community (still a cesspool), this was the official copilot server
