- nabakin 5y agoIf they started monetizing user data, I would immediately leave Discord and so would my entire community of software developer friends. The best way to push all of us to Matrix. That being said, they already have a revenue stream in Nitro. I don't see them caving into advertising and selling user data very easily. Especially this late in the game where all their users are used to not having them.

- nabakin 5y agoYou know nothing about me and my friends.
- f1refly 5y agoI don't claim to and I'd be happy for you if you could make the exit. Just think of my words when my prophecy comes true.
- nabakin 5y agoYou don't claim to...except that by saying "when", you actually claim to. I understand not believing what everyone on the internet claims, but that doesn't mean you should be presumptuous.
