general

But yeah spooky, get to work on our discord alternative for when the ship sinks

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

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?

lmfao

50 or 500

they did?

that is still listed as level 2 boost perk

they made the default 25mb

it went from 8 to 25 for everyone

^

sounds right

8 was too low

25 is fine

which is great, because 25 is more reasonable

what filesize does Nitro even get you?

25mb is a lot... that's like... 25 million....

500MB...

lol

didn't discord do something recently that was meant to combat people just hosting files on it?

images

if you post an image link it has a timecode

and will die

^

Discord URLs change constantly now

so you can't just send a permalink, outside of Discord

so you can still host images on your server, just you can't share them off platform

^

Which is funny, because most of the image hosting sites have died

catbox gets kept alive by weebs

but yeah, every general one is dead

and the good ones have shut down out of fear of copyright bullshit

unlike catbox

or the one guy who said he was sick of cp and killed his

I forget which one that was

well I feel like they're a lot less needed nowadays for the average person using the internet since it's less common to use sites where you have to host a file externally and link to it

I wonder if kids nowadays actually have meme folders

spooky

many kids do not know how to use folders

so I do not think so

Spooky that's just their cellphone camera roll

like if you want to post on reddit or twitter they will just host it for you, it's not like a forum where you need to link to the image

or if they just rely on searching tenor or ifunny on the fly

The tech illiteracy of the current zoomer gen is going to be interesting

when they hit the workforce

Pika is right though younger generation is almost boomer level tech literacy wise, at least some

I know no one under the age of 14 uses a PC

that's true

I more mean

all the zoomers i know use discord servers to hold their memes

I dont save images on my computer
