Yeah I like being able to shitpost with meme emojis from other servers and keep the one platform me and my freeloading friends use, alive. I ain't going back to Skype and god bless the souls on Teamspeak.
Mumble, mumble.
You could always switch to Matrix.
Don't fool yourself into thinking that you paying for nitro is adding to discord's longevity.
You're just lining the pockets of people richer than you.
Good luck convincing entire communities to use a different service that is less supported.
This. Matrix is great
Definitely won't have the features I need to shitpost and convince everyone I know to switch. Again.
And my brother in Christ that is called capitalism and in capitalism if they aren't profiting they shut it down.
So yes, ever since I joined Discord three months after public release, I have been contributing to its longevity. I was the weird friend going on campaigns to get the boys to leave Skype. Part of Hypesquad before they shrugged and let everyone in.
I won't need Matrix unless Discord implodes or loses touch like Skype.
