More like Discord only takes these things seriously when an article drags them. Probably only banned the kids account because she dropped this on them and they handled it badly.
Crazy how far this company has fallen, but that’s expected I guess when $$$ are on the line.
The company has fallen? From where? Discord was bottom of the barrel for as long as I can remember.
For the first few years, when it had no profit motive, no way to earn money, and was just willingly bleeding cash to gain market share, it was great! That is the first stage of enshittification and they are now on to stage 2: making the platform good for the real target audience, advertisers.
Few years? Nah man. Maybe the first few months but they were already laying the foundation 10 years ago by hosting the largest emote servers and running the Discord subreddit secretly themselves. They were always really shitty.
It's so fucked up that companies with too much capital to burn can just bleed money for years in order to starve the competition out and establish a monopoly.
Tbf, their main competitor was Skype...
adding AI was that sign.
Literally and this isn’t even a reason for it sucking!
The company has always been shit run by shitty people.
Never trust a tech worker, they decided long ago to sell out the species and the planet.
"Never trust a tech worker" they said, using a device designed by a tech worker, running software designed by a tech worker, accessing servers maintained by a tech worker, on a hosting service implemented and managed by tech workers, through an internet service provider employing tech workers galore.
It makes more sense when they say 'tech worker' you read it as 'magical internet executive'
As a tech worker, I resent that comment.
As someone who volunteered time over 20 years to maintain a well-used open-source project, I think your comment is a cheap generalization that shows remarkably low forethought.
As someone who knows what a comma splice is, though, I guess it's all good.
Tech workers keep the modern planet running.
Do I regret the modern world frequently? Yes. But that's like blaming the mechanic for a drunk driving accident.
Yeah, it’s honestly hard working tech working who are not to blame for much of the problems with technology. Tech bro billionaire broligarchs on the other hand
The ironic thing is, the tech industry started out from hippie counterculture. Fucking tech-bro business major types ruined it.
Dumbest comment today.
Want to blame someone? Blame a farmer. We were doing fine until we invented agriculture.
But just like the tech worker, farmers today are not to blame for the problems introduced in the past.
So sensitive
Find honest work
So you don't understand why agriculture is the root of all our problems?
What exactly is "honest work"? Commenting bullshit on Lemmy like you? Using, I don't know, technology that someone made, so you support that kind of work?
I missed a good old troll in the wild. Thanks.
