what a goddamn shithole. the dark thing about this is that they will continue to retain the critical mass of users and they know it. it's where the most users and content are. so many communities were completely erased during the mod strike and it didn't matter. they knew they would be completely fine. the future is an authoritarian world effectively governed by companies like this.

That's what many social media companies have said, lol.

But the sad thing is many communities will (and already have) move to Discord. Which is even worse, as Discord is a siloed information black hole.

I'm getting closed to hosting an XMPP server and getting the fuck off discord. They can rot in hell
