Oh, i ditch family and friends who dont respect my personal data. Though its signal primary for me
yeah, I get it. I told people one year for my bday to download the app for me to get most of my circle on it. most did haha
Discord is not really intended for "friends and families", it's for communities.
It's not really for communities either, it's for locking communities into a corporate platform.
...so it's not for communities, it's for communities...?
It's not for the communities, it's for the shareholders-to-come.
Who are the shareholders going to exploit then?
Employees and customers, just like every corporation ever.
"customers" meaning the communities?
Where else do you imagine dividends come from?
No one was talking about dividends
You literally just did: https://feddit.org/comment/6103029
There's no need to link me to my own comments. I did not.
You can deny it all you want, but profits still = income - expenses.
Every dollar paid to a shareholder is a dollar stolen from someone who works for a living.
thats why right wingers love FB as well and over reddit, to. that way they can delete comments control things without having the discord admins hovering over them.
My mother and sister is on my homeserver.
Also my SO.
And my every friend.
And we use Jitsi for calls during gaming or whatnot.
jitsi, interesting..
All it took for me is discord going down for a couple hours a couple of weeks ago. Now about half my friends went to it. All it will take is a small push or down time and they will need their fix somehow lol.
