I've probably paid around 100€/$ in total (been occasionally using and gifting Nitro since 2019 and regularly for about a year). I'll definitely stop it and using Discord if they follow through with this.

Whoa, not slammed, but SLAMMED? Wow.

My community just setup a Matrix instance and we're migrating everyone over. Several already cancelled their subscription.

I actually ran into a colleague in a random room, who is also leaving Discord.

It's pretty nuts, there's a big exodus going on.

Don't even have to go that far. Just stop paying for Nitro. They'll get the picture when their revenue stream dries up.

I sure did fucking sucks and they didn't make it easy. First had to delete all servers first then delete my account. Fuck Discord.

Anyone want to script through the signup process and feed the damn thing a bunch of AI generated faces?

Typically when a signup page is difficult to automate, you can use a library meant for automated testing within a browser—like Selenium. Also, disposable emails services come in handy—like mailsac. If they block all the disposable email services, you can also use your iCloud+ custom email domain (if you have it) with the Allow All Incoming Messages setting turned on—then you use randomly generated user handles for each signup. A better way would be Gmail accounts so that they blend in more, but I’m not sure how to script through Gmail signup when they often require a phone number verification step.

Not sure about the easiest way to recycle your IP, in case they monitor signups that way too. I’m sure there’s a way to overcome that too via VPN.

If 2% of Discord users did this 50 times, that would make half of Discords user profiles and face recognition data completely fake.

I hope this means people will slowly start going back to forums. Highly doubt it though.
