My mother and sister is on my homeserver.

And my every friend.

And we use Jitsi for calls during gaming or whatnot.

Discord is not really intended for "friends and families", it's for communities.

[–] knightly@pawb.social 17 points 3 months ago (2 children)

It's not really for communities either, it's for locking communities into a corporate platform.

[–] Ulrich@feddit.org 7 points 3 months ago (1 children)

...so it's not for communities, it's for communities...?

[–] knightly@pawb.social 10 points 3 months ago (1 children)

It's not for the communities, it's for the shareholders-to-come.

[–] Ulrich@feddit.org 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Who are the shareholders going to exploit then?

[–] knightly@pawb.social 6 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Employees and customers, just like every corporation ever.

[–] Ulrich@feddit.org 0 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

"customers" meaning the communities?

[–] knightly@pawb.social 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Where else do you imagine dividends come from?

[–] Ulrich@feddit.org 1 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

We weren't talking about dividends

You literally just did: https://feddit.org/comment/6103029

There's no need to link me to my own comments. I did not.

You can deny it all you want, but profits still = income - expenses.

Every dollar paid to a shareholder is a dollar stolen from someone who works for a living.

thats why right wingers love FB as well and over reddit, to. that way they can delete comments control things without having the discord admins hovering over them.

[–] shortwavesurfer@lemmy.zip 6 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Oh, i ditch family and friends who dont respect my personal data. Though its signal primary for me

[–] big_slap@lemmy.world 8 points 3 months ago

yeah, I get it. I told people one year for my bday to download the app for me to get most of my circle on it. most did haha

All it took for me is discord going down for a couple hours a couple of weeks ago. Now about half my friends went to it. All it will take is a small push or down time and they will need their fix somehow lol.
