Warning: alternative Discord clients will get you banned. I got my account permanently banned for no other reason other than using a 3rd party client, even though it (Ripcord) had insanely better UX.
And so far, the DMA has only served to show malicious compliance on the side of Facebook. Nothing to better the lives of those who reject the walled gardens.
The sad reality is that we can either accept the monopolizing forces like everyone else, or make ourselves apart from important social contexts.
Eh no, I’d say it’s precisely the subset of tech enthusiasts who aspire to work for a profitable company like discord, or even build one. There are a few of us here who reject corporate tech, but i don’t think it’s the majority.
I don't think they've actually reversed position at all. I think the bottom line is they don't like anything that isn't their client because they can't pump nitro at you.
And considering part of their TOS is basically they can do whatever they want, I don't know why people would even risk it anymore.
