I started using Discord because Skype was pissing me off. Now, Discord starts to piss me off with their bullshit. I'm just too tired to move to yet another platform that will start sucking once it's grown bigger. I hate this "social media" focus on every little fucking thing. This stupid "we are building a community" garbage should die.

Maybe it's time for me to burn everything down and go live in the woods. I don't particularly resonate with people anyway.

You've touched on the cycle of enshittification. Step 1, everything is free and wonderful. Step 2: milk those customers for money.

The solution is to favor and support services which take capitalism out of the equation. It might cost a little bit, but I think a few small donations can go a long way.
