it doesn’t matter, when people are fed up with that shit they will just go back to watch any other platform (tv, streaming, tiktok)

scale does not matter, these alternatives are not trying to scale like youtube because youtube is unsustainable in the first place

better than watching ads!

yeah, the root issue is on their business strategy, the brainrot is just the conclusion of several years spent on optimizing engagement

probably sunk cost (time invested, followers gained, networking) + real addiction (meta and x will try to trigger any emotion from you so you are invested in the platform) + accessibility (free or cheap access on mobile data with big providers)

every fucking youtuber is sponsored with those ads i hate this timeline

its better than betterhelp i guess

They will save time by making them go pee in bottles

it has always been about cheap labor that’s for sure, the united stated was built by slaves, that’s why they love dubai so much

at least it is probably already trained on the south park episodes dedicated to him in the last season

on desktop I tried gajim and it was good

on android snikket has an official client, it is a fork of conversations.im (they fork it so the client as the same name in every platform to avoid confusing users) i haven’t found a client for android/ios that matches discord feel tho

edit: forgot to say snikket is also on ios

Check out the snikket server/app, it’s a complete setup that uses an XMPP server and clients with a focus on families and close friends

At this point it’s not a conspiracy to think Israel spreads the ‘jews control everything’ narrative so they can poison any discussion on the topic

just FYI is any of you just need to step out of discord and already use steam, you can migrate to a steam group chat, they even have dedicated channels for text or voice

that’s my backup while i check some selfhosted options

something something this user thinks israel is the same as judaism and therefore israel is the defacto jewish state and dealing with israel means you are a jew by relation? i’ll just assume that’s how this antisemite thinks

yeah that’s what transnational means

makes sense, I didn’t get it when people started saying it but I don’t browse without ublock

“you are on a ***** account so I will assume shit”

dumbest logic i have read today, instead of bringing up a real example you say this? you are wasting my time writing this reply right now but that’s good because i’m on company time

well i guess now i will assume every piefed user is a fed /s

My best guess is new accounts will be autolocked to ‘teen mode’ and you will have to upload ID if you want to unlock it

I was working as a support agent on Epic Games when they decided to limit everyone underage on certain functions on Fortnite. They now ask for your birthday when you open the game and if you are underage (the age varies by country) it will lock your account until you can prove you are an adult (using a 3rd party service)

downvotted for saying the truth, every software community should be OFF discord and setup a forum

its spell amogus

just decided to bend the knee regardless of jurisdiction.

yeah, I understand why companies do this tho

from their side it is cheaper to just put the same measures and requirements for every legislation and in discord’s case this is the perfect opportunity to get more data from their users
