Given their reputation, you should question if it’s actually due to CP, or some other kind of possible political crackdown. I wouldn’t assume either way.
Usually when it looks like these people are doing their jobs for once, it turns out to be something in line with their previous shit.
i hate discord so much my first discord account got permabanned because the owner of a server i was in went nuts and doxxed 8 year olds and my second account i got locked out for a year because they thought i was a bot and i couldnt use my phone number to verify because it was already in use on my first account then when i finally got in it had a 6 month ban because a server i was in got raided by racists that said slurs
I've never had a Discord account. It's gamers, right?
it’s just IRC in a web browser
Lost yearly Nitro and all my friends
That’s sadder than he seems to understand it is.
I know "lol anon has no friends" is le epic funny meme but by friends, they obviously meant their contacts.

This is one of the bigger reasons I don't want to use social media controlled by a corporation, it means they can choose to cut me off from people at their discretion, which will probably be based on what is convenient and easy for them.
And as Reddit has shown they will shut you down for expressing any political opinion they don't like.

Never understood why anyone would want to pay 100$ a year for discord, the paid version doesnt give you that much imo
To support the developers and pay for a product you use all the time? Same reason you pay for any software/game.
I agree with you in principle for supporting developers directly through something like OpenCollective....
... but ask Mozilla how much their Firefox devs get for each financial donation.
The company is the heart of the software and it would not exist without the company most likely. True the execs get probably a larger share of any payments but it's just the way the world works. It's a piece of software produced by the company, not the developers.
Yes that is the sad reality of it, but I don't think it justifies sending money to the company in the first place. They're backed by VC and are already predisposed to screw you financially in the longrun. Why accelerate this with donations
Lol. Read their EULA
Which is a good monetation system. Premium users barely get anything but still enough to pay, while free users can do pretty much everything too.
Discord makes money by selling data, premium is just extra

- Three-year-old* account with no violations
- 5-year-old* alt account
Anon doesn't know, Discord fails to include a libre software license text file. We do not control it, anti-libre software.

That is kinda bullshit if they didn't even see the content.
I mean, seeing as it’s a 4chan greentext there’s probably some very important information being left out.

And I'm not looking forwards to the effort it is going to take to get my friends to migrate away from discord. It was hard enough to get them on discord in the first place.
Lost yearly Nitro
You cuck.
Same happened to me but with animal cruelty content or something. I tried to get the account back but turns out it was a "ban wave" so a lot of other people who got banned but were innocent were doing the same so discords services got overwhelmed by the appeals. Maybe they should have realized after that that this kinda banning is a horrible approach.
Anon's big mistake was not being the President of the Gulf of America.
On this topic: I currently have installed on my phone and computer: slack, zoom, MSTeams, element, discord, Facebook messenger and signal to communicate in various projects and friends. What is this madness?!
I remember what a game changer Trillian was 20 years ago. Having AIM, MSN, and ICQ all in one app was so nice. I have yet to find anything modern like that. I just checked and Trillian still exists but it appears to just be its own stand alone chat app now.

This is why people should be worried of using these massive services, luckily it was ‘only’ Discord (if this was your primary way to interact with friends, this can be a huge deal).
But imagine if it was your email account!
Getting a reputable provider, self hosting or using a decentralized option is paramount for your own sanity.
This made me thinking about Valve potentially banning my 19-years-old Steam account due to some error or a mistake 💀 I heard bad things about their customer support.

Anon forgot to put their interpersonal relationships in a RAID array
