Is discord not enshitty?
I open it and it updates 6 times, then I get a full page ad for nitro. Then all the settings push nitro. And all the “servers” push nitro.
It's the best at what it does, but had been getting shitty in the way you described. However, it's free and they have to support it somehow. I'll put up with the nitro pushing and understand that's my cost of doing business. If they go public, I'll probably actively start looking for an alternative, because that always kills a product and it will for sure mean "AI" will be forced into it.
Locking data away from search engines so that unless you’re in that little fiefdom you don’t get the information.
And preventing any internet archiving so any and all information on it is lost whenever the server is deleted. It never should have been used for anything but game chat.
