Discord isn’t exactly known for generous file-sharing limits, still, the messaging app offered a 25MB limit to free users. The company has now updated its support page to reflect the upload limit for free users has been lowered to 10MB.

Who gives a shit? The people who use it that you apparently want to switch to something else, for one. Shouldn’t it be easy to switch, like going from Chrome to Firefox? That’s how we get out of Discord hell.

Say you have no idea how any of this works without saying you have no idea how any of this works.

That’s how we get out of Discord hell.

Why is it our job to fix the problems of a private, profit-focused company?

We’re not fixing Discord’s problems, oh my god. We’re trying to get their existing users to go somewhere else even though it’s what’s familiar and Discord works for them.

Also it’s definitely possible to code an import tool that scrapes a given server for info on how to structure things on the new platform, so idk what you think you’re gaining by insulting my comparison to an aspect of a service that makes users motivated to switch.

I don’t know who shat in your coffee, but get a fucking new cup.

Honestly the onboarding for a lot of alternatives to various to popular platforms/apps (Matrix, Mastodon, etc) seems to be the biggest impediment to more adoption of those platforms and apps.

By onboarding here I mean the communities that use those platforms recruiting others to join them and help build communities up.

Like goddamn if that users comment was the first time I’d heard of Matrix it would have turned me away for sure.

Not to mention Mastodon having a reputation that proceeds it.
