They supposedly can be disabled in settings- but we all know that won’t last. They’re going full Microsoft Skype mode and it’s only a matter of time.

    Investors, who made Discord possible, want to earn money. It’s totally understandable.

      I would rather say it’s “predictable”, rather than “understandable”. Perhaps even, “no better than we can expect”. Calling this “understandable” tends to normalize greed for greed’s sake.

        I honestly don’t understand why the people who do bugger all for services should be catered to just because they have shares or whatever.

        The hate for successful people here is ridiculous. Neither Discord nor its investors owe you a world-class service with private servers, video calls, screen sharing, voice calls, and many other features for free. The market operates on mutual benefit: you get the service, and the owners get the money. Those who complain about businesses aiming to be profitable are lunatics.

          This isn’t hate for the investors, but for what they’ve pushed for. Discord was already profitable, this is just driving enshittification; per the article.
