It is all bloated to track us and direct market to us. We have to upgrade hardware which is otherwise adequate just to assist their surveillance of us.

I never liked Discord. First and foremost, nowadays, I cannot log into it when I am using a VPN. And back when I could, it always felt so laggy and clunky.
I think todays society is not used to performant software. Everyone just buys a new computer/smartphone every year or every 2 years or so, so they probably have compute power to run whatsoever. I run old shit. 13 year old desktops or so, with no dedicated graphics card, old smartphones, etc. I need software to be performant.

I have good hardware but I dislike discord for the same reason. I don’t use it every day, and it takes forever to decide to open it because it always has 10 thousand updates. It’s bloated.
