This is completely counter productive to growing Lemmy. I absolutely despise discord. Look at the network traffic it generates and tell me wtf they are doing. They won’t tell you. Their business model will leave you completely dumbfounded as to how they exist. Everything shared on the platform is lost in a black hole unavailable to the outside world and everything shared is a privacy nightmare. Posting this, pinning it here, and locking it is one of the biggest trolls possible. It pisses me off every time I log in. “Everyone else does it” is the excuse of idiots. Discord makes absolutely no sense to anyone that actually cares to look into it, read the user agreement, and ask sane questions about what they are doing.
Not hating, just was confused by the shift. I missed the piracy defed announcement because I didn’t realize there was the discord announcements too now.
I know, didn’t take your comment as ‘hate’.
But that won’t happen again. Should have been on LW first but with a DDOS happening the admin decided to put it on discord first.
Just wanted to be clear with how emotionally charged these topics have become for so many of the users here lately…
And didn’t even think about it being in response to the DDOS attacks. That makes sense.
