    They absolutely have their users by the balls and I guarantee most people will continue to use the app after this, unfortunately.

    Yeah, my group of friends will be very resistant to moving away from discord. They're all aware of the issues with it, but It's too convenient of a platform. Personally, I will give up most of the comforts to not be under the thumb of a corporation, but I'm an outlier in my friend group with that perspective.

    I'm in this boat too. Most of my online friends I only really get to talk to via discord. Not sure what I'm gonna do, because they won't end up budging.
