      They’re called direct messages, not private messages. They’re not tricking anyone into thinking anything lmao

        No, but the entire point of renaming Private Messages to Direct Messages was exclusively so people would have the mindset you do.

          I have never been under the impression PMs were unreadable by the people operating the service I send them on.

            Neither have I. Generally if I want the impression of it being private, it will need to be encrypted and a whole skew of other criteria comes in. Still doesn’t change the fact that growing up they were referred to as “PM’s” for the first half of my life.

      Lol wut, they never claimed servers were independently controlled. Maybe you just didn’t look into what you were signing up for.

      When you go use different servers on Minecraft realms are you under any impression those are not controlled by Microsoft?

      When you choose a different server on World of Warcraft do you think it’s a non-blizzard server?..

      Like just because you put yourself into a state of bad false assumptions didn’t mean they tried to trick you. People have been saying this about discord from the beginning you just never cared to look.

      Did you actually think this or are you just inventing a person in your mind that this has happened to? Lol

        They’re called servers in the UI though. Also, confusingly, there is a new feature coming called guilds.
