Discord is not really intended for "friends and families", it's for communities.

It's not really for communities either, it's for locking communities into a corporate platform.

...so it's not for communities, it's for communities...?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

It's not for the communities, it's for the shareholders-to-come.

Who are the shareholders going to exploit then?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Employees and customers, just like every corporation ever.

Where else do you imagine dividends come from?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (1 children)

No one was talking about dividends

There's no need to link me to my own comments. I did not.

You can deny it all you want, but profits still = income - expenses.

Every dollar paid to a shareholder is a dollar stolen from someone who works for a living.

thats why right wingers love FB as well and over reddit, to. that way they can delete comments control things without having the discord admins hovering over them.
