    Would you pay for Discord? That is the problem everyone thinks everything is free but running stuff costs money.

      I paid and still get peppered with their promotion. So I stopped paying, then if it gets worse I will uninstall and use the web app as you can block elements with the ad blockers. (so even site hosted stuff you can single out elements to block. )

      edit: yeah, unfortunately I can’t really just stop using it entirely, until my regular group server and some of the game’s server move somewhere else.

      I’ve paid for Discord Nitro for at least a few years now. Primarily I wanted to do my part to stave off exactly this sort of thing.

      This feels bad. I don’t like this whatsoever.

      I’m donating 5€/month to Signal because as far as I’m concerned they’re doing good work.

      I wouldn’t pay for Discord.
