Comment on Someone ported Discord to Windows 95, because why wouldn't you

I wouldn’t port Discord to anything, because it’s a mediocre chat service run by an invasive company that imposes itself as gatekeeper of other people’s discourse and content.

Imposes?
You just not use it right?

Network effects mean you can’t switch without losing all those communities.
When I left Reddit, I left behind the only active mental health community on the internet supporting those with my specific condition. I had the choice to leave, sure, but what did it cost me?

While I sympathise, hat’s not what imposition means. For better or for worse, both Discord and Reddit got where they were by being good for what they offered.
I’d almost agree in a way about Reddit - they basically imposed a shitty app after building their base. But apart from the username change, Discord is as shitty or great as it always has been.
