Thank you Spez for banning my account of nine years for voicing my political opinion! I made many contributions to communities over the years and now you’ve lost that so good fucking bye.

Seriously, shareholders kill what they invest in it’s surreal.
ever since huffman publicly endorsed elon/trump, it was only a matter of time.
It’s always been like that. They’re parasite - they ruin the thing they latch on to, then they jump ship with fat stacks of cash and move on to the next product to kill.
except that not all parasites harm their host. in nature, “parasites” range from a mutually beneficial relationship to the destruction of their host.
these are the bad type of parasites, also called diseases
It’s truly astounding, isn’t it? Like, is there any investment that hasn’t totally killed the product? You can feel when a company switches over too to the investors. It doesn’t matter what the product is.
Like, take the website ModCloth. Started as a vintage fashion reseller. It was like a little community that was attached to a e-commerce store.
Walmart subsidiary bought them out. Changed over the website. Deleted everyone’s usernames, information, and profiles. And with it over a decade of user posts and photos. Website stopped selling any good quality vintage style clothes. The entire reason anyone shipped there. It’s just like drop shopped tshirts with stolen art now. What the fuck.
I can think of a hundred more examples. Investors buying any company should sound like a banshee scream.
Soon we will see it happen to Discord. It will be pretty awful.
Man I’ve supported discord for years too. Fucking sucks. It makes me upset to think about.
Well at least IRC with come back with good searching… Unless Google fucks that up somehow. The internet is dead or dying.
Yeah even google search is broken thanks to AI, never thought it would happen but here we are.
It’s very inconvenient.
I have a project right now that needs a good unique title, and since Google is now flying blind through a soup of AI gibberish I have no way of telling whether the titles I think up are unique.
Last time I went through this process it was so easy.
Where are we moving to instead of Discord?
matrix or mumble or xmpp
My vote is Matrix!
I prefer xmpp but I know the matrix onboarding is easiest by far
Because they don’t care about the long term health of the company. They just need the next quarter to be profitable, and then they can move on.
