Man, i hate it.
Not only a lot of communities are hidden because of Discord (at least with Reddit they were more discoverable), the worst part is the fact that they are unsearchable or behind a paywall.
Like the "join my discord if you pay at least 3$/mo!" is pretty innocent but you are gatekeeping a community that before was pubblic.
If we are talking about something like a content creator focused about an hobby or pc problems you can see how Google will become even more useless.
Reddit was the least bad choice between it and Discord but has failed the "i want to be a social network".

- ykonstant 2y agoI live on 350 Euros a month; my rent is 180 Euros. I literally cannot find 3 bucks to be part of a community. I am not a parasite.

- 1992spacemovie 2y agoI apologize for my above comment. I should have been more thoughtful. You are absolutely not a parasite and do have value.
- distances 2y agoEven the idea of payment to access a community is just absurd. If I'm an integral part of a tight-knit community I can see myself participating in common expenses, but I would never pay for access. At that point you're just a consumer buying a service.
- Dalewyn 2y ago>Even the idea of payment to access a community is just absurd. Is it? If we put aside the common notion that "everything on the internet is and should be free-as-in-beer and fuck you if you disagree", is it really that absurd? Communities more often than not prefer setting up some kind of filtering to weed out certain people, and a paywall is one of those filters.
- ant6n 2y agoSo every time I have a 1/10th chance to find some useful information on some subreddit, I should pay 3$ for that same chance?
