The complaints boil down to

>Discord not deleting inactive accounts

I personally don't want my old accounts to be deleted. Just because I don't sign on to a site that doesn't mean I want everything to be deleted.

>Closing the Discord window doesn't quit the entire application and just closes the window

This is normal behaviour of programs. In fact most macos programs work this way. Windows still shows Discord in the bottom right no people can access it if they need it even if they don't want a window for it.

>Discord's password requirements were not what they wanted

Most people's discords accounts are stolen via token stealers and not by having their passwords guessed. They had proper rate limiting so this isn't a big deal.

>They didn't create various paperwork

Legal compliance is annoying.

I hate how foreign governments can trample over US products.

As if the US government never trampled over non-US companies. The US runs one of the most protectionist economies out there.

I don't approve of that either.

On my computer it goes to a little arrow menu in the bottom left where you can't see it unless you click in. And when I first found out this behavior I ended up accidentally treating a lobby to some very bad singing.

I'm very skeptical of GDPR regulation, including multiple of the other things CNIL listed here. (If your "data protection impact assessment" concludes that there's nothing high-risk, doesn't that suggest it wasn't in the GDPR's bucket of "likely to result in a high risk"?) But this point seems pretty reasonable.

You would hate living in those foreign governments and seeing us companies with their free infinite money trample everything first, then. Imagine competing against a foreign company that genuinely doesn't even care about making a profit

Excuse me, it's the EU who determines what is normal and what is not. Not some decades old conventions.

Hahaha. Yes some stodgy bureaucrats surely know more than designers of OS and software. Please. There's definitely a gap to bridge but let's not pretend one side knows everything.

Government going for the win over social media by levying fines. It's a bold move Cotton, let's see how it pays off. Surely government will save us from social media!
