Discord isn’t exactly known for generous file-sharing limits, still, the messaging app offered a 25MB limit to free users. The company has now updated its support page to reflect the upload limit for free users has been lowered to 10MB.

    Because if you didn’t expect this path when you signed up you were naive.

    Now everyone complains about it but for people who had already been paying attention: this was par for the course. Of course this was going to be the outcome. Why should I be happy that everyone fell for the promises of a for-profit private company again?

    Like why do you think we are on Lemmy for fucks sake? Is it not for the same reasons??

    How many times do we have to be fucked by private corporations for people to learn they don’t care about us?

    But every time its all “but they have a better feature set so its okay that they might enshittify in the long-run!” Literally same shit is being said about Bluesky over Mastodon right now. Bluesky being a Public Benefit Corporation means about as much as OpenAI being a non-profit.

        That wooshing sound you hear over your head is you willfully missing the point entirely.

        Like why do you think we are on Lemmy for fucks sake? Is it not for the same reasons??

      The problem being, there aren’t many alternatives around for discord. And even the ones that exist have issues of their own. Mostly relating to use base and entry barrier, in the case of the open source alternatives.

        No, literally the problem is most people would rather give in and use a sleek corporate option every time.

        No matter how many times they get fucked by doing that.

        It’s a choice to keep getting fucked.
