The ads are so far sufficiently unobtrusive to still use the platform, and I’ve no need of Nitro, but should that change, I’ll flee elsewhere.
Discord just last week shut down a server that was my main local friend group, and we had to scramble to reconstitute it. At this point, we’re not even looking to advertise it. It’s a low-volume server with only six left-of-Overton from the core group, but it taught us that you always want more than one method of contact, as a a rugpull can happen at any time off any whim.
Well, that remains a question. He didn’t start the server, but it was shut down precisely two years after it was created. And the woman who started it maintains an active Discord account, so it’s not on account of that. He messaged me at 3 a.m. from Europe asking for a link to get back in, at which point we both realised the server was just gone.
It was the six of us who’ve all hung out plus occasional random folks who believe the economy works for them. They didn’t last long.

Damn, that sucks. How big was the server? Do you know why it was shut down?
