(Did they, eventually do that? I don’t know, but the fact is that they can.) When people who had various political beliefs that were not popular among the fascist woke “left” started gathering on Discord, Discord promised to Cancel them.
When users got together as a community to make robot programs (like you could always do on IRC) to play Youtube music, ad-free, Google sent DMCA attacks and Discord removed the bots. This is pretty typical of proprietary software, especially “web apps” like Microsoft 365. This means that anything anyone ever does on Discord is subject to failure if the company goes out of business or has downtime.Īccording to Wikipedia, once Discord got enough people used to the free version, they started imposing artificial limits on what you could do, and then selling you subscriptions to get the things you were doing before. They have this thing that they call “running a Discord Server”, which is bogus, because you don’t run the server. It pretends to be IRC plus all of these neat features, so that it can rope people in and centralize their communications, and log everything they do. J amie Zawinski made a comment about Discord basically being “IRC with pictures” somewhere along the way, but it’s actually not.
