Discord is not really intended for "friends and families", it's for communities.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 5 days ago (2 children)

It's not really for communities either, it's for locking communities into a corporate platform.

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.

...so it's not for communities, it's for communities...?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 5 days ago (1 children)

It's not for the communities, it's for the shareholders-to-come.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Who are the shareholders going to exploit then?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Employees and customers, just like every corporation ever.

"customers" meaning the communities?

Where else do you imagine dividends come from?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (1 children)

No one was talking about dividends

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.

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

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.
