Ok, do your worst. I got on Discord cause they offered the best free service, I'll just as easily leave if that ever stops being the case. "Teen mode" seems not bad, I need something worse.
You will not leave easily. There's no point to you leaving if all your friends remain. Chances are they could not care less about these issues and would rather leave you instead of mass switching to a less convenient alternative.
I'd leave with or without them if it sucked. They can and will text me instead, just like they do since I left WhatsApp (because it sucked). The communities of randoms I don't even know irl can't, but that's exactly why it doesn't matter so much.
That and my friends probably care the same or more than me about privacy.
Yeah, we've seen time and time again that the network effect of social media makes it next to impossible to actually move to a different service. The Discord feature set is great and all, but it's the fact that your communities are there that keeps everyone on it. I'm hoping they get enough backlash / canceled Nitro from this because I don't want to lose the communities I'm in. Already did that with Facebook/Instagram/etc and it sucks.
