you are working really really hard in these comments defending a platform thats pretty arguably indefensible when it comes to both privacy and basic UX
every thing discord does at this point is to increase numbers on a chart and make an accountant happy
Discord is a for profit company. Everyone here except you understands and accepts that.
I find discord’s ux to be very pleasing. You want to cry and whine about element but … Discord uses electron. I’m starting to doubt that you have much/any development experience and are just spouting off stuff you have heard.
Discord is trying to find a path to fund itself. It is a business. Making money and being a good product are not at odds with one another. Via nitro and server subscriptions discord can fund itself while still remaining an excellent and free platform. What they have added is the ability for server owners to basically do Patreon type things inside their own servers.
I’m guessing that you didn’t actually bother to read far enough to understand that server owners set up subscription terms, not discord. This is not discord forcing anything upon servers. This is discord giving server owners the ability to monetize their individual server by having subscriptions. If a server does this and you don’t like it then just leave.

It’s the defacto way many communities stick around and communicate with each other, especially in the gaming world.
