Discord's CTO Is Just as Worried About Enshittification as You Are

They need to focus on the bot problem.

I don’t care about their own IPO grift. I’m a community server owner and I’m not interested in inflating my own server membership for the grandiose delusions of fame like a influencer on a follower high.

My community doesn’t need to be invaded by hundreds or rather thousands of bots training a few dozen LLMs on lazy internet speak.

My community doesn’t need to be on alert and woken by sleeper bots itching to advertise the latest grift or account stealer.

We kick hundreds of bots weekly because the core system is broken. If you want me to pay for a subscription focus on the community building experience, not the clickbait features (currently the server tag, flooding communities with apathetic members).
