Don’t even have to go that far. Just stop paying for Nitro. They’ll get the picture when their revenue stream dries up.

I sure did fucking sucks and they didn’t make it easy. First had to delete all servers first then delete my account. Fuck Discord.

Anyone want to script through the signup process and feed the damn thing a bunch of AI generated faces?
Typically when a signup page is difficult to automate, you can use a library meant for automated testing within a browser—like Selenium. Also, disposable emails services come in handy—like mailsac. If they block all the disposable email services, you can also use your iCloud+ custom email domain (if you have it) with the Allow All Incoming Messages setting turned on—then you use randomly generated user handles for each signup.
Not sure about the easiest way to recycle your IP, in case they monitor signups that way too. I’m sure there’s a way to overcome that too via VPN.
If 2% of Discord users did this 50 times, that would make half of Discords user profiles and face recognition data completely fake.

They plan on using an AI to read all your conversations as well. You wabt that?
Just quit. Why bother trying to stay?

i used to be quite proficient at using selenium.
though IIRC they require phone numbers for the sign up process now?

My community just setup a Matrix instance and we’re migrating everyone over. Several already cancelled their subscription.
I actually ran into a colleague in a random room, who is also leaving Discord.
It’s pretty nuts, there’s a big exodus going on.

Any guides? Been looking at Element but that set up is intimidating.

Are you self hosting? I just set up and instance today and it was extremely easy following the instructions for the ESS Community edition on github.

I was going to run it on an old gaming PC i been using for piHole. I was thinking a VM as I couldn’t find a premade container and don’t want public stuff running on the machine directly. I was still trying to work my way though reading the docs but got hung up on understanding Kubernetes before starting the setup. I also got sick of fighting Virtual Machine Manager pool location permissions last night.
