They also went to the deep end trying to make profits. Discord has a bloated interface and tries to shove their subscription up your face every chance they can.
I look at it like this: I’ve seen, heard and read enough shit in my 48 years to know when I’m better off without certain types of people. So I block them. I’ll never have to read a comment and see that username again and go, “oh, this fucker again… ugh”
In no way do I suffer from this approach and lose out on some enlightenment or critical information.its a win, win.
Worst case scenario is I blocked a decent person, but I’ll never know and it still won’t make my life any less fulfilling.
And for the record, I dont spend my days blocking people. Maybe four to six people a month (on Reddit), probably far less here, because most users seem decently grounded in comparison, with far less emotional issues.
But fuck yeah, I do love the block function when someone gives me that bad energy moment. It’s liberating.
Not having ads? Lmao what? It literally spams you to buy nitro every chance it gets & it’s not exactly free- they harvest quite literally every single drop of information they possibly can about you.
If you boil down every single aspect of information they possibly can gather on you to “analytics”- sure, however Discord got rid of the functionality to disable analytic data collection years ago iirc, and the button to ‘delete my information’ was removed around the same time- and replaced with the ‘request my data’ button.
But you should also know if you install it, it’s been claimed (I’m too lazy to look it up, I just know that I’ve read/watched a video about it years ago) that it collects data on what you do across your entire pc, to at least the same extent that microsoft’s default telemetry does. This is due to them monitoring your pc at all times so it can integrate with whatever game you are playing- of course.
I hate discord now. It’s worse than reddit

Try my ad block list: https://github.com/synthead/discord-adfree
Couldn’t agree more 👍
It’s also not a forum
That’s an astute observation Watson. Hur dur
I only had to read two of your comments to know I never want to read another one again.
Time to look for that block user option.

Two is all it takes for you, huh.

Bro… look in the settings, they literally give you a button to request your collected data.
