    This is not easy when everyone you know is already on Discord.

    The network effect is active in full force here.

      Its a good point. Eventually discord will find some way to enshittify, I am sure.

          I guess that is what they are doing, but this particular change seems pretty reasonable to me. Discord can’t simultaneously be a chat application and a repository for all memes for all time.

          Just goes to show that VC funded services are not sustainable infrastructure for anyone.
