This reminded me a whole lot of OnlyFans deciding to ban porn.

Just... stupid.

What uhh... What did they expect people to use it for?

Conceptually, it's always supposed to have been something akin to Patreon, where creators can be supported by fans via a subscription model. A combination of lax rules around nudity and probably sheer inertia meant that "creators" ended up being pretty much only sex workers. OF then tried to pivot away from that and we all knows how well that went.

I wish the UK government would fuck this off as well. Giving that creep the entire NHS health data backlog was a move of utter stupidity.

Thiel is in the Epstein files, literally is funding the destruction of our democracy and all democracies worldwide everyone Thiel should be arrested and charged with treason and sent to the hauge and be tried for crimes against humanity

Not just in them, good friends with Epstein and conspired with him to destabilise the west.

Poor discord

[–] howler@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago

Deleted my discord rooms, left every room i was in, requested my acct deleted, uninstalled from every device. Moved to matrix & fluxer.

[–] paequ2@lemmy.today 9 points 1 week ago

Too late! I'm moving to Fluxer!

The fact they ever considered something affiliated with Peter Thiel in the first place is enough to abandon Discord.

Anything Thiel touches is compromised. All he does is steal your data so he can use it too brainwash you..

I went back to IRC a couple of weeks ago and it's been such a breath of fresh air to use good technology again.

Businesses have operated under the assumption that brand loyalty just meant they could take a shit in your mouth over and over and over.

Fuck these businesses and fuck their piss poor anti consumer bullshit.

Discord publicly cut ties. What could they possibly do to convince us that it was legit?

[–] DudeImMacGyver@kbin.earth 5 points 1 week ago

Cut ties huh? Isn't he their main VC investor?

[–] muxika@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

Damage is already done. Greetings from [matrix].
