Two years ago I urged us all to enjoy Discord while it's still good.
By opening the floodgates to itemized monetization, Discord is inherently making Discord a less welcoming place. It's all kind of excess baggage if you, like me, operate a small server of 15 friends who play games together.ĭiscord remains the easiest and best way to talk to friends online, but today's update makes its current trajectory hard to ignore. In recent years Discord has set its sight almost exclusively on large communities-launching (and then often forgetting) features like forum channels and live stages designed to turn Discord servers into siloed social networks.
