A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Meh, I couldn't care less. Never used anything but the basic features, and if anyone wants to throw money at them, that's their choice.

As long as I'm not rate limited when using the regular chat in the free tier, I'm good.

The issue is that once they start heading down that path, they will probably start enshittifying the experience for non-paying users.

I only use it because my friends like to for when we game or watch stuff together. But, never bothered to actually install the app or software.

Unless it gets in the way of that don't see people moving.

Yeah, if it keeps the basic functions free and without restriction I am good with adding some extra glitter like that.
