Is it? I suppose you can take their turning down of Microsoft as a token of good faith, but it's also possible that they just think they can cash out for more in the future. If that's the case, then accumulating a massive user dataset is very much the business model, because the business model is to eventually sell the company for as much as possible.

- ldh0011 4y agoNot that I trust discord for sensitive communications but I'm personally quite happy to pay $ for my animated emojis and increased upload limit instead of them monetizing my info.
