I cancelled my nitro years ago because what exactly is the benefits that I can’t do with being a freeloader? Besides I’m sure they scrape all my data anyways

Not a user of discord, by what are the reasons people use nitro for ? And who would be the audience to purchase this ?
Larger file size uploads was my main incentive.
I just like using animated emotes
Sorry but, How are kids/teens able to sustain expenditures for Animated Emotes? Isn’t this a luxury product purchase ?
A lot of teens in the US have jobs; I've worked since I was 14. At $10/month that's like 1 fast food meal, and if you use it as your major chat platform that's easily worth it for the convenience it offers you. And teens don't generally have other major bills to pay.
Understand. Thank you for explaining. Why isn’t Element more widely used ? Isn’t that a free and FOSS based ?
Trying to gauge why discord paid version even is a thing.

I dont understand the outrage. It's slightly different, oh no. Back in my day, we used a shitty bright white Windows 95 style UI voice chat program called Ventrilo, and WE LIKED IT.
It's not about the DM button being moved, it's about all the UX they broke in halves. They changed how swipe works, they changed how the DM list works, they changed how search works, none in a good way.
For a lot of "power users", changing how swiping acts goes in direct opposition to the muscle memory, so that's annoying. Some functionality is just gone or is made much worse, like no longer seeing images in search and no longer having autocomplete for the filter terms there. You can no longer look at the DM list and then go back to active DM because swiping there was turned into a dumb back button replacement.
And above all, this is just a canary in the coal mine moment - they do not care about their current app, they will do whatever they like and people are understandably uncomfortable with that.
Good old Vent, lots of great memories there

How do I persuade my friends to switch to Mumble? x]
How do I persuade my friends to switch to Mumble?
you wanted to say teamspeak right? right ?
What I hate is the new button art or icon style or whatever, it's more bubbly and less readable at a glance now.
If you want to destroy my ~~sweater~~ app, hold this thread, as we walk away
Actually black theme already won me over
