I am sure phijkchu will outlive discord at this point

probably
but to be fair, those are usually pretty great for the first 2-3 years
then they go to shit
I vote we only communicate via email chains
will never happen
they want it to be profitable which means they will murder it
Discord could easily be profitable at this point
Nitro is not the way to do it though
nor is the "all internet communities should use Discord" push, similar to Twitch's "stream anything on our platform"
Discord's going to get bought by Microsoft or IBM or some other giant company, and have a subscription fee added to it
primary customer will be business
all the community shit, the forums, public servers, school servers, etc. is all worthless
Discord literally only works as a casual communication platform
I just think it's really annoying how all the things that would once use forums are now on discord
makes searching for stuff way harder
it's a messaging app
idk if you guys use Telegram at all
and game/community/etc discords devolve into circlejerks more consistently than forums would
it has the same problem as Discord
Only to see if josh's stream is cancelled or delayed
^ that's what it's supposed to be for Pika
its a messaging app rusp
it's the thing they click on in movies rusp
announcements, alerts, etc.
its good for announcements
sensd the beep beep bee ba babep beep
people use it at huge group chats for 13k people though
it is worse than discord for that
in the same way all the big massive Discord servers are worthless
its kind of like a more russian version of giant facebook group chats
india
service is more russian, indians use it a lot though
telegram is big in india/russia, wechat is the asian one
I meant to say that the giant facebook group chats are india
but yeah, strip 99% of the superfluous shit out of Discord
the way reasonable <100 person servers function is fairly good
it's decent for workplaces, although hard to configure
It's a really good messaging app
and if they clean up the ability to be a quick-to-join video chat service (without all the overhead of servers/channels) they'd be good at that too
But yeah spooky, get to work on our discord alternative for when the ship sinks
Kappaa
it's not going to sink, there will just be a sub fee
and non-subs will be severely limited
I am not paying to use discord if that is ever implemented
if spooky didn't disappear for a bit we might've been able to communicate on the booru comment section by now
Nitro is retarded, and is not what I'm referring to
Replying to reorruatrnte #toughbrook if spooky didn't disappear for a bit we might've been able to communicate on the booru comment section by now
now that's a good solution
we all just communicate using garbage's daily picture
and when we hit the comment limit, he needs to draw another one
garbage posts a new sketch every day and that gets used as the daily general
I have an imaged saved to upload to the NSFW section of the booru
garbage left it in my hands
before he passed away yeah
before he deleted it out of shame
I mean it's something I'd like to continue one day...
now only spooky and I have seen it (since I dm'd it to spooky last night)
this is teamspeak's pricing for context
you can participate without paying
but there are some limits or w/e
I could see Discord being a free messaging app, and then charging for the server portion of their service
I would want us to jump ship out of principal for that, because fuck that, even if you'd probably be willing to pay the server tax
limit all their bells and whistles behind a premium sub tier, and then just charge server owners based on slots and VC/video slots
I mean, the alternatives are just self-hosted, so I'd have a matrix server or w/e running for us
I'd rather just stick with Discord, 2-3 years down the line when they get bought out and they try to start being profitable
I don't think Nitro is worth it at all, but I've said before I'd pay Discord for their servers, upload capacity, audio quality, etc.
I'd also pay for premium server addons, like if we could have that stupid AI art bot turned on server-wide
one of the main reasons to get nitro isn't even that relevant since discord increased the free uploade filesize
what did they increase it to
it was 8mb before
not sure maybe 50?
