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.

It's a big lie. Why not offer the option to delete automatically after 24h if 15mb extra is so much storage?

Or is it about bandwidth? Why no automatic compression on desktop? Oh wait, that feature existed in the past was scrapped. They think you're fools.

Huh, I wonder how enshitified it has to get before I stop seeing discord on FOSS projects.

It begins lol.

I guess locking basic features behind a paywall didn't work for them after all, eh?

Well, it is better than 8, but still sad.

Discord continues down it's path to total enshittification, which is exactly what I told everyone would happen when this fucking dogshit app got pushed on me around 2018 or so.

It's a private company with a profit motive. Fucking shocker that it enshittifies. /s

Fucking dipshit gamers not knowing any better.

What an overreaction. Also FYI the free file limit was 8MB two years ago before they raised the limit to 25MB, so if anything it's gotten better.

Ok but why are you so angry about it?

I’ve been using it for years and haven’t had to pay a dime.

How have they harmed you with their free app?

Does anyone know of a Discord alternative?

[–] ProdigalFrog@slrpnk.net 0 points 4 months ago

Matrix is the closest replacement, and XMPP can replicate some functionality too.

Revolt is the only feature-rich swap in option.
