- jjoonathan 3y agoUgh. Discord makes api-fee-reddit look positively wall-free by comparison.
- aluminussoma 3y agoBecause they respect your privacy and don't feel the need to plaster your comment in every search engine?
- pseudalopex 3y agoRequiring my phone number does not respect my privacy. Reddit users can create as many identities as they wish.
- micromacrofoot 3y agooh wow are we now in the "finding information is bad actually" phase of the internet?
- ninth_ant 3y agoMastodon believes this and willfully denies search functionality. Tech built to search Mastodon (https://fedsearch.io/ https://fedsearch.io/) was aggressively decried as violating privacy and such. So yes, there is certainly at least a vocal subset of people who believe that "finding information is bad actually" and deliberately building tech along those lines.
- dawnerd 3y agoCan’t stand discord, it’s too noisy. Joined one server from a subreddit and the mod team @everyones all. The. Time.
- Phlarp 3y agoIt's insane because Discord has the usage stats to see that the first thing a majority of users do when joining a new server is to force mute group @ notifications. I honestly wonder why this is even a feature they support, but it should absolutely be defaulted to mute and/or have a checkbox for it in the new server join banner. They force collect phone numbers while highlighting the fact that they will spam the ever-loving fuck out of your notifications.
