It’s funny you mention the VC funding. As far as I can tell, it’s only made it worse. Discord would have done great if they just kept expectations low. Instead, they’re now expected to create massive returns. That must come at the cost of consumers. I hope consumers get tired of it and leave, or someone else comes offering the simple service Discord used to provide.
Comment on Question: Is there a Self Hosted Discord like app?

The main issue is you’ll never get the cretins that use it off it. Communities… they’re just sitting there burning the library of alexandria… all the esoteric knowledge they’re “putting on discord” is just gonna vanish.
over a billion in vc funding and discord is as shit as it is.

Yes, enshittification of Discord has started a while ago, and it’s becoming worse.

Is it worth preserving though?

So much tech support has moved to Discord. That’s worth keeping around.

Call them cretins all you want, Discord in a great piece of software and very powerful. The usability is better than most others.

As an archivist and data hoarder I hate discord with a burning, visceral passion.
