A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Meh, I couldn't care less. Never used anything but the basic features, and if anyone wants to throw money at them, that's their choice.
As long as I'm not rate limited when using the regular chat in the free tier, I'm good.
The issue is that once they start heading down that path, they will probably start enshittifying the experience for non-paying users.
Yeah, if it keeps the basic functions free and without restriction I am good with adding some extra glitter like that.

Can't wait for the 2nd hand free exclusive meme trading scene!
Oh yeah sure, this would be cool and all if they didn't screw 99% of their users out of their usernames first.

Well, this seems like powerful motivation for me to eventually find a free open source positive alternative to Discord, while ignoring Discord in the meantime. I would love to bypass their enshittification phase entirely.
