Is Discord the "federated social media" that everyone has been looking for?
How are they going to monetize?
- aaronax 4y agoIt's not federated though...?
- grishka 4y agoNo, it's as centralized as they ever come. The "servers" are a misnomer, really. That's what they call communities/workspaces for some reason. If you want federated social media, you're looking for Mastodon and other ActivityPub projects. I'm also building my own one.
- datalopers 4y agoDiscord has a premium subscription tier and in 2021 did >$200M via that monetization strategy. https://discord.com/nitro https://discord.com/nitro
