  What an overreaction. Also FYI the free file limit was 8MB two years ago before they raised the limit to 25MB, so if anything it’s gotten better.

    I saw this headline and was thinking, “Huh, I thought the limit was 8MB.”

    Yeah the file limit on Skype is 300mb and has been for like a decade. Gamers are the dumbest fucking demographic on planet earth.

  Ok but why are you so angry about it?

  I’ve been using it for years and haven’t had to pay a dime.

  How have they harmed you with their free app?

    Because if you didn’t expect this path when you signed up you were naive.

    Now everyone complains about it but for people who had already been payin attention: this was par for the course. Of course this was going to be the outcome. Why should I be happy that everyone fell for the promises of a for profit private company again?

    Like why do you think we are on Lemmy for fucks sake?

      You didn’t even come close to answering the question. So I’ll ask again.

      How were you harmed by Discord?

        That wooshing sound you hear over your head is willfully missing the point entirely.

      The problem being, there aren’t many alternatives around for discord. And even the ones that exist have issues of their own. Mostly relating to use base and entry barrier, in the case of the item source alternatives.

        No, literally the problem is most people would rather give in and use a sleek corporate option every time.

        No matter how many times they get fucked by doing that.

  LITERALLY UNUSABLE 🤣🤣🤣🤣

  Discord is fine for 99% of users.

  Look, I’m as upset as you are about the enshittification of everything, but this is a bit too far.

  There was always legitimate issues with Discord’s storage management, and they at least seem to be taking it seriously now.

  I’m not a massive fan of Discord, but this is a bit of an overreaction.

  The people downvoting you are the ones who eat up the enshittificaion with glee. Discord is unusable for anyone who wants file or screen sharing. Skype, by contrast, has free screen sharing that’s smoother and higher quality, and a file sharing limit of 300mb all for free.

  But yeah most users are barely computer literate so Discord keeps humming along.

    Skype was annoying to use and so is element

    Oh, I know. It’s squarely aimed at fucking tools who don’t even own a PC, which is why it has that “mobile first” design ethos even though their mobile apps are absolute trash.

    It doesn’t matter how many times this happens, people would rather get fucked by corpos than spend time learning anything.
