This reminds me that I need to uninstall discord. Thanks!

I'm not surprised. It's not right for Discord to disable the servers and accounts, but at the same time, if you are hosting a community it shouldn't be on discord since you aren't in control of it

Wish they gave as much of a shit about shutting down pedophilia and OnlyFans leak servers as they do licking Nintendo's boots.

Discord is an inherently unsafe platform.

Emulation is a matter of media preservation. Give us backwards compatibility or go fuck yourselves.

You all should have stayed on IRC

You're not wrong, but also, it's way too complicated for the regular person to use. A better UX is needed.

People downvoting you don't seem to remember the whole "messages aren't delivered while you're not online" thing

TIL that typing in a username, server address and hitting 'Connect' is a bad UX.

GUI > CL. 😇

I get the testicular fortitude that someone has to have to make that kind of comment here on Lemmy, that has very hardcore Linux tech-based audience, but still, the general electronics using public would agree with what I'm saying.

UX is more than just a single login.
