Yeah it’s difficult convincing people due to sunken cost.

You could be chatting on a better platform that offers everything discord offers for free but you’d have to convince your friends and the servers you frequent to all move.

It’s not about the platform itself as much as it’s about the communities that are all already there.

Even the one person I know who is terrified of losing her account and preemptively set up alternatives on other platforms still won’t leave until something forces her.

I’ll save it as a last ditch effort, since I’d rather detonate myself with the data center than die in other ways.

Everyone seems to have given up already. No one cares, no one is fighting.

I can’t do it on my own. I can file complaint after complaint after complaint but it’s just been accepted.

Yes but I have a safety net for now.

Edit: I just found out that there’s going to be a data center built less than a mile away from where I live. Life is about to turn to hell.

Well yes but there obviously needs to be more aggressive pushback involving real consequences when even simple talk of pushing these boundaries begins.

Appeasement and gentle refusals tend to only invite more aggressive militant responses.

It’s only a matter of time before he begins to really push the boundaries physically.

Thanks, I’ll look all of this up later and see how I can handle it.

It’s dividing a lot of us. Either you’re an evil person who is looking at taking advantage of it or you’re someone who is starting to think a lot more selfishly due to the current dangers that are building.

Interesting. What would you recommend though, and how would you recommend searching for these services?

Just on the off chance that north america could become like the aforementioned countries.

So what does work in those countries?

People tried but honestly, the whole place is a cesspit in retrospect. Lot of mods get actual benefits from running their subreddits when they’re big enough.
