Will it lead to the exodus towards Matrix/Element? If I have to pay for messaging, I'd rather cut the middleman.

Not yet. It's just not ready yet and people are picky about what chat features they now need.
I wish tho.
What keeps your posse on discord?
Organization scheme, ease of use of the voice channels, cross platform compatibility.
We briefly looked into discord alternatives. Element x isn't mature enough, schildi chat could be viable. Revolt seemed to be the front runner, but the voice chat was awkward to use since it didn't show when people were in channels, and the noise cancelling of discord was sorely missed.

Friendly reminder you can cancel your trial version / free month if you have activated one recently, and you'll keep the perks until your trial runs out.
Glad they are going for this, although it seems a bit weird that they aren't going for bigger players that have similar or worse tactics.
it's not hard, though? I live in Turkey so I don't get protected by EU
Even then, it's still a single button press
People are barely literate these days, I'm not surprised.
Idk where they live but pressing cancel can't be that difficult surely.
Unless they changed that.
I never saw a reason to give my not-do-hard-earned money to discord, but I have done so elsewhere online, and I will continue to do so.
My approach is always the same: I use this one card I have that is by default blocking online purchases. But I can through my bank app allow online purchases for the next hour. Works great for those "free" trials that require your card details, hoping you'll forget to subscribe.
Huh? Every trial I have had, it's been like two button presses to cancel.
Can they sue crunch fitness next?
