Hey bruh u wanna buy nitro bruh. It’s the new shit bruh
Psythik@lemm.ee 2 hours ago
What the fuck does Nitro even do, other than give you some useless emoji?
dubyakay@lemmy.ca 2 hours ago
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.

Once Discord enshittifies, lazy devs won’t be able to say “follow our Discord for updates!” anymore.
doorknob88@lemmy.world 5 hours ago
I’m a lazy dev and want to get ahead of this, where should I post my updates?
EncryptKeeper@lemmy.world 3 hours ago
Back in ye olden days you’d have your own website, a blog, or maybe a forum. It was indexable on Google and anyone could see and interact with your updates. If not for that there’s always steam.
circuitfarmer@lemmy.sdf.org 5 hours ago
On whatever platform(s) you sell your games. The key is not expecting someone to sign up for a different service for your updates.
Khanzarate@lemmy.world 5 hours ago
Email group
merde@sh.itjust.works 5 hours ago
rss?
tehn00bi@lemmy.world 6 hours ago
Hopefully they move to element
circuitfarmer@lemmy.sdf.org 6 hours ago
Hopefully they just post updates on the platforms they sell their games on. I shouldn’t need to sign up for anything else.

Matrix?
CarbonatedPastaSauce@lemmy.world 10 hours ago
We need a decent replacement for this, stat. Once they go into IPO mode it’s gonna get real shitty, real fast.
catloaf@lemm.ee 9 hours ago
This is them going into IPO mode.
Matrix is a reasonable replacement.
vinyl@lemmy.world 5 hours ago
Matrix is still pretty jank
lennee@lemm.ee 9 hours ago
teamspeak are also stepping up their game ive heard

Yep lol, golden parachute deployed!
… For the pilot.
Passengers are still in the plane, lunch cart just came around!
Psythik@lemm.ee 2 hours ago
We already have TeamSpeak/Ventrillo, and I think IRC is still a thing?
SqueakySpider@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 hours ago
I feel like it’s been shitty for a decade… personal view though, clearly people like it
Alphane_Moon@lemmy.world 9 hours ago
The UI/UX has always been absolutely atrocious.
Ulrich@feddit.org 4 hours ago
From a functional perspective it’s fantastic but it doesn’t make up for the incessant ads (even if you pay) and the lack of any privacy whatsoever.
drspod@lemmy.ml 8 hours ago
clearly people like it
It’s the network effect that people like, just like every other social platform before it.
mlg@lemmy.world 8 hours ago
Same boat as many Gapps like Google Maps. No large market competitor to show users how much better it can be.
rimjob_rainer@discuss.tchncs.de 9 hours ago
Revolt?
firebyte@lemmy.world 5 hours ago
It’s open source too.
SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 9 hours ago
Oh wow, it can get shittier?

Fuck IPO imminent
DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world 10 hours ago
Wait, there’s actually humans working at Discord? I thought the entire thing was run by bots.
malloc@lemmy.world 9 hours ago
Bro got replaced by some ex-Activision-Blizzard MBA zombie. Humam got 86’d/golden parachuted from Blizzard after only <2 years as “Vice Chairman”. Then a 1-2 yr gap.
Humam about to get another massive bag once labor force is cut, platform further enshittified, and corp books are sufficiently cooked/prepped for IPO.
Mora@pawb.social 7 hours ago
Humam - like human, but not really.
baronvonj@lemmy.world 4 hours ago
Rob Zombie: More Humam than hu-man! He left Activisiioooonnnn!
sem@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 hours ago
Kind of like how Marcus Persson was almost a person?
wildbus8979@sh.itjust.works 10 hours ago
A bitter end for this lemon.
malloc@lemmy.world 9 hours ago
Is it really bitter if IPO is successful? Citron and other cofounders likely setup to get a massive payout when it IPOs.
Humam isn’t someone that will look after the company for many years. He is brought in to cook the books, and get it to an IPO.
wildbus8979@sh.itjust.works 9 hours ago
Citron means lemon in various languages.
thatsnothowyoudoit@lemmy.ca 6 hours ago
What is success here? The few founders and VC get filthy rich as the larger population dumps their money into Discord stock while the users and teams with limited foresight, who’ve moved their communities to discord, suffer?
I mean yeah I guess that’s the success Cory Doctorow warns us about again and again.
But that’s not my definition of success.
Deconceptualist@lemm.ee 4 hours ago
Maybe he was out of juice
Sanctus@lemmy.world 9 hours ago
I get ads in my discord now. Revolt, Matrix, thats your queue.
sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 2 hours ago
Cue, unless you want them to get in line to do the same thing.
Sanctus@lemmy.world 2 hours ago
Yeah get in line and get installed on my computer.
scala@lemmy.ml 4 hours ago
Are those any good or better than guilded?
Sanctus@lemmy.world 3 hours ago
Probably not. Revolt is pretty bare bones but the customization is great. No video sharing.
Matrix is not something you can just set up with no skills.
But Builder’s story is exactly the same as Discord’s just one chapter behind.
boreengreen@lemm.ee 3 hours ago
Does revolt have screen share with audio? What about noise filter?
ShittyBeatlesFCPres@lemmy.world 9 hours ago
I’m glad I’m too old to use Slack but for video games. I’d rather eat a bowl of hair than have more notifications.
cm0002@lemmy.world 9 hours ago
Slack but for video games
Lol when introducing new employees to Slack who haven’t used it before I always say “It’s Discord, but for work” haha
sem@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 hours ago
Haha that’s funny, when I first had to use slack and discord, I thought oh this is IRC, just with extra crap
Jakeroxs@sh.itjust.works 6 hours ago
I miss slack every day, teams is getting better but… Ugh
