From what I’ve heard of more technical people on here while lurking discussions, Lemmy isn’t scalable.

If everyone from Reddit were to move over to Lemmy, we’d be in big trouble.

I’m guessing people don’t like doing the effort.

Hell, I’ve learned people aren’t willing to change or try anything even if it’s been made into a one-click solution.

It is a serious option. You were probably using a shitty client.

I would recommend Sable, as it’s very Discord-like. I’m sure others have experienced good clients with features perhaps more specific to an anime community.

… Tenor gifs…? Seriously…?

Anyway, stop using Discord. Learn to set up a Matrix server.

I don’t want the computers destroyed. I want the corpos destroyed who have made computers feel like an invasion.

Um… I’m not sure if you’ve noticed, but as of late there has been rising concerns about any involuntary, unprompted data gathering. Not just from China, but America and Russia too.

And considering how these data gathering elements have pretty strong connections to the government where their servers are located, it’s not out of place to simply refer to the country.

I do. Because the US didn’t take a hint and is still doing their bullshit Imperialism today, and have turned America into some sort of cult to be worshipped.

Signed. Thank you.

Thank you. This is often why I check the comments first.

Hmm… Well, coming from Skype it certainly was amazing. Though, I guess this depends when you first were exposed to Discord.

I hopped onto it well before any hint of enshitification occurred.

Well, for a while Discord was crazy good.

Never even heard of it.

Yeah, fair enough.

Being complacent like you isn’t healthy.

Or maybe you’re just “normal”, or to put it differently; exactly the kind of person why problems are allowed to continue to exist.

This entire comment just tells me you’re a person with zero backbone.

Siiiiggghhhhhhh…

I judge people on consumption practices that are easy to change. Not me nor anyone can do anything about all the affordable things we need to survive coming from sweatshops or destroying the environment. But Discord doesn’t come even close to approaching any such thing, and it costs literally nothing to collectively dump it. Especially if some technical friends have already done all the technical work for you.

You’re using some sort of fallacy I forgot the name of. The one where you argue about changing something problematic because other problems also still exist.

Is it “whataboutism”?

Never said it was limited to Discord. But it’s the easiest thing to change. Getting rid of Discord and replacing it with something someone you’ve trusted for a long time has set up would be like “Baby’s first activism”.

Nobody is leaving Discord because they’re not feeling the consequences of staying. Those consequences are elsewhere, and a flaw in humanity that keeps consistently disappointing me is if the consequences are not literally happening in front of their eyes, or effecting their own lives, it’s somehow just not real enough. And because it’s not real enough being mildly inconvenienced by missing one or two mostly inconsequential comforts seems like the bigger problem.

Like how people weren’t taking COVID-19 seriously after it didn’t end civilisation over night.

Or like how people aren’t really taking climate change seriously.

A wonderful example of this was when Australia was on fire, and the Americans were calling them crybabies. But then later that year America was on fire and suddenly forest fires were just the worst!

There is ignorance, then there is willful ignorance. I’ll repeat myself; get fucked.
