Comment on Discord co-founder and CEO Jason Citron is stepping down

  Increased file attachment sizes (10->50->100MB depending on tier, I think).

  Cross post emojis from any server you are on.

  Cross post stickers from any server you are on.

  Higher maximum server count.

  One free server boost.

  Probably a couple more vanity shit. Yep, entirely laughable business model.

    I like it, it’s just extra stuff and nothing essential.

    It’d suck a lot more if they gated necessary features behind a paywall

    What exactly does a server boost do?

      Similar to nitro for a user, but for a server as a whole. At various levels it add features to servers. Bigger files, more sticker slots, Banners, animated server icons, higher quality streaming, more options for invite links and how they appear…

  I got nitro for higher audio quality so I could stream background music while running a DnD campaign over discord.

  It also increases your streaming resolution which is quite useful.

  It also lets you use emojis from any server in any other server, which isn’t “useful” but is fun and I do it all the time.

  For these 3 things I think it’s worth it. It’s worth noting I have a grandfathered Nitro plan that is more features than “Nitro Basic” but less features than the next tier at a cost that’s in between.

    I got nitro for similar reasons but would up cancelling when discord sent ads to a friend of mine with my screen name on it, “why not join your friend _____ with nitro” or something.

    Absolutely not, don’t use my name to shill to people I respect.
