Have you ever used discord?

No, not really.

The name server isn’t prescriptive. It’s not your own server. It’s just your own chat rooms

Eh, you lost me there, what’s that supposed to mean? How could my own server suddenly become not my own server if I started to use Discord?

What’s that supposed to mean?

What do you mean, how could your own server be “hosted by discord”?

What do you mean by that? Tons of organizations, groups and people publish that they have their own Discord servers.

But pretty much all of these organizations have their own Discord servers, don’t they?

So why would it matter so much what the parent company does? If some changes are seen as unacceptable one could simply just not apply them to one’a own server. (It’s not like the Discord company could force anyone to run some particular software on their server. How would that even work.)

I don’t understand why people care what Discord does. If they do enough unwelcome changes the people who run their own servers will simply detach from the parent company.

Incompatible with Dark Mode.

Your friend sets you up on a date. Are you going to treat that person horribly. Of course not. Why? First and foremost, because you’re not a dick.

I have in my life met a number of people to whom you might want to explain that this was how they were supposed to behave.

Twitter ceased to exist in July 2023.

I don’t think it’s ever happened to me that anyone told me that it was inconvenient for them that I didn’t have iMessage, compared to pretty much weekly exclamations of “But why can’t you just use WhatsApp like everyone else!?”
