    If a program trying to replace discord doesn’t ask for money it’s a scam. You can’t do something at that scale and not have subs or paid options.

    There’s fucking nothing free in life and I’m fucking tired of people expecting and demanding everything be free. That’s how we fucking got to this point in the first place. Companies turning to ads, data gathering and other things to generate revenue. Because the number of paid users is a drop in the bucket.

    Either you pony up and put money on the table. Or YOU are the fucking product and will be sold off as parts to support the stuff you use.

    Bandwidth, labor, hardware all costs money. Even self hosting still costs labor.

    AND FUCK AI.
