Do you think that the fediverse has something to gain with the enshitfication of discord? Are there voice chat programs in the fediverse that can benefit from it?

    The recent headlines saying “discord will be showing ads” is just intentionally misleading. No one even bothered to read the articles. They just saw the headline that agreed “discord bad” and didn’t even question it.

    Discord already has “ads” in different forms that are even more like ads than what those articles were talking about. They promote games and services as a “perk” for nitro. They also advertise all over for their paid stuff, like Nitro and profile decorations.

          You know what, they just seem so pushy lately about Nitro and stuff that I didn’t even get the joke

            That’s fair, I also fell for it originally. It was a pretty convincing prank, I really should be more suspicious on April 1st.
