I literally ended my comment with saying the service was worth the price, and you pitch a way to pirate it to me. Wild.

    Well, this "pirate" option also fixed issues that plagued the Linux desktop client for years. Discord only got screen share working about a month ago, that feature has been around since 2017 (I think). Meanwhile the "pirate" option had fixed that (even on wayland) while people were waiting for the basic features to function.

    Doesn't Linux Discord still not have audio streaming unless you use Vesktop?

    No, that's what was fixed a month ago. It does still have its bugs though, I found that if the audio doesn't show I have to close the app and reopen it before it will work, but that happened from time to time with the workarounds as well so I'm thinking maybe it's just an issue on the Linux side

    To be clear, a pirated copy of something may well be improved over the original but that doesn't make it not a pirated copy, so you can lose the quotes. It sounds like Discord is not in a good place on Linux and I'm sure I'd agree it's not worth the cost of the sub if I were on Linux.

    It's your opinion that the service is worth the price; I know nobody who shares that opinion. Sharing an alternative shouldn't be seen as hostile or "wild". If it was like a buck a month, I'd pay that. But at checks notes $3/month for increased upload size (I have a nas with public file sharing, so..) and.. emoji? or $10/month for the above + "super reactions" (wat), not-ass streaming res, "server boosts" (???) and "custom profiles" (what does that even mean? a background?)... You're kidding me, right? I pay less for my web hosting, or my vps, my security/AV software... Even Bitwarden, or NextDNS, is pennies compared to nitro. Ten bucks a month is actually insane from my perspective. $120 a year for bigger uploads and decent streaming resolution is highway robbery.

    To use your term: wild.
