I’m curious as to how many here choose to use Discord over Matrix and pay them for the Nitro subscription.

    Exactly this. Every one demands everything to be free to use and then wonders why everything gets crammed with ads and micro transactions and data gathering. You want quality software? You have to pay for it somewhere. Even FOSS. Developers have to eat too. Either pay upfront or be enshittified. I’d rather pay up front.

      I don’t wonder about it. I expect the ads to show up on free things, but I do not care. I will just move to the next shite free software, and be happy. The only program I would consider paying a subscription for would be a drawing program. You get to make money from a drawing program, so it levels out the subscription cost
