Still using discord. Nitro doesn't do anything for me until they start doing 'Ad breaks' to interfere with my servers. Then its migration time! :V

the idea of spending money on discord nitro was always ridiculous to me anyways. what, you want me to pay for... fancy animations? bigger file sharing? thats a fucking scam dude

they could give me the powers of the gods themselves but I would still refuse to pay a subscription service

I would argue not to use Discord if you can avoid it. Discord has admitted to submitting transcripts of server messages, DMs, replies/emote responses, etc to their user data analysis partners, who then sell it or send it to law enforcement if needed.

Happy to say I never bought Nitro ever! Discord always was where I kept in touch with friends and shared WIPs with them, but only on a free account. And even then, I've contemplated other alternatives.

Keep calls goin until you get kicked and make servers for the tiniest reason use up bandwidth work smarter not harder

I deleted my account entirely, got this hilarious message in response.

I had a boost and killed it because I finally found where it was to turn it off. It was so annoying to turn off.

Discord wants to implement age verification through IDs and facial scans, which in and of itself is a huge invasion of privacy that's made even worse with how god awful Discord's security is

i love that so many of the gimmicks Nitro provides you are free on Stoat :') once Stoat buffs out some of the mobile app issues and minor QoL fixes it really will just be a better version of discord 🙏

I will never stop saying that Nitro just really isn't worth it anymore because you used to get a pretty decent library of free games with it. The most useful feature could maybe be the increased file upload size, but there are better free alternatives.

tbh the only thing I've bought from them was one frame and banner pack. That's really all I needed

I'd like to add that I don't believe people should do the Discord Orb missions either, since all of those are advertisements. If you already have orbs, feel free to use them however you want, but don't get more orbs

unfortunately, i give discord no dollars, and write gay smut on there if anything they pay me stand by your morals, friends !

Straight up not gonna resub ever again. I see them pushing ads on my discord more recently and it only makes me want to abandon this fucking platform more.

pretty much do what i always do.. so not much changes for me but i am *more* than willing to switch to root the moment i see persona again (the caught age verify AI bot thats holding the data for 30 years)

Cancelled my subscription through Google Play store the moment the age verification news hit my feed. Commenting this on here so the post may gain more visibility!

Oh pwincess...you didn't tell daddy good mowning today. I will have to weconsider your position in the discord Nitro Famiwy account

i ask everyone in my server not to boost it

Ya, I miss my perks, but well...until they get rid of their age verification shit, I'm not gonna resub. I dont mind helping pay for sites I use regularly. But they gotta earn it.

...the news is a month old

Even worse, the custom join link? If your nitro lapses, someone can take your URL you've stuck in all your vids or business cards n shit and start scamming users trying to find your community

The longer I stay unsubbed the less I feel like I ever needed Nitro's features in the first place lol

I never use discord since it’s release. WtF thus Nitro do exactly? And why is it so expensive?

I make my living with discord so eh

I was subbed but unsubbed when they tried to pre-emptively push age verification on everyone. I'm not resubbing until they drop it entirely. It's not their business, so they won't get mine.

I love having the same profile pic for 5 years across ever server I'm in, but I love not giving Discord any money even more

the snake oil of the ad industry is so convoluted that there is no way for them to know if paying for ads on discord is wasting their money, but it's still giving more money to discord and giving metrics to discord that they can use to tell other companies that people look at their ads

Palantir and the US's Pope Murdering Vice President JD Vance. So it's not complete misinformation if Discord (which had gotten hacked a few months, IIRC, before the announcement and shortly after the announcement.) doesn't fill me with trusting their eventual team up with some shady 3rd party.

Right, that's the one, biggest deal-breaker right there. Why would I pay to have my personal info and identity hoarded and exposed eventually by a dumb and evil spy corporation?

I already use it without paying, and am happy to keep doing so!

i was never subbed lmao

The only reason I used it was to use emotes across servers. Emotes aren't worth the nitro and neither is having to surrender my id to use any app/website

ok done

only wish I didn't re-up my Nitro Classic for a full goddamn year just two days prior to the announcement of the age verification fuckshit

I've unsubbed from everything starting with discord. Time to sail the seven seas me maties

I cancelled my sub a little while ago; it expired this month. I see the push to sub every time I make a reaction, and I'd be lying if I said it wasn't tempted But until ID verification is cut out, it isn't worth it.

I've never actually given money to Discord, I just took advantage of a free year of Nitro that a friend gave me for my birthday 2 years ago, but otherwise yeah, I did well never to pay for Discord.

I highly suggest you make accounts in alternatives before they double down on age verification. When it first dropped it took me forever to make an account on Stoat chat because of the massive traffic of signups.

Why is discord trying to make the sugar parent harem feature for people that doesnt even make sense for people to use

Shit..welp ig bluesky didn't like it being a gif lmao 😔🥀

Ive been using discord since 2018 and i never got nitro because 1 im not paying for that and 2 I am not up with the times when it comes to all the new ways to do things. I literally JUST downloaded cashapp last year and even then, I had no idea how to use it lol

Hey, what's your Yahoo Instant Messenger? =D

But without nitro, don't you lose customization? Don't you lose higher video uses? Don't you lose literally everything without nitro? I don't want to end up like an NPC again, I am not Going back to being like a Fortnite default.

Discord can in fact suck my entire dick and balls 💅

I am firm in my stance. I'm not returning to paying 'em. They didn't back down on ID verif, and they went to publicly traded. If my money meant so little and they want to be traded? Fine, I'll keep it for more commissions.

Haven't been subbed for months, it took a moment to get used to not having access to the custom emoji's and stuff, but now it doesn't even bother me. I'm not giving them any money until they cut the shit.

I unsubbed two weeks after they proposed their AV surveillance project. I gave them that long to reverse course, and when they failed, I dropped them. I moved most of my activity to Stoat. Will not re-sub.

Keeping using it without paying is actually double effective, because users actively increase the COMPANY'S expenses, so they'll be sweating bullets before long

I've been doing them! (Well, not me, but a script I use and put into the console has)

It must have been a really interesting deal for them to still not back down about age verification.

I’m happy to not touch nitro. They’ll get it back when they’ve earned it. However for now, I will happily use discord with little to no nitro just to stick it to them and make them cry :3

I think people might go as far as to hacking Discord's banks and extracting their money back. Maybe.

I ended my sub due to the intention of id requirement. I miss being able to post a chain of sign language emojis
