I paid and still get peppered with their promotion. So I stopped paying, then if it gets worse I will uninstall and use the web app as you can block elements with the ad blockers. (so even site hosted stuff you can single out elements to block. )
edit: yeah, unfortunately I can’t really just stop using it entirely, until my regular group server and some of the game’s server move somewhere else.
Would you pay for Discord? That is the problem everyone thinks everything is free but running stuff costs money.
I’m donating 5€/month to Signal because as far as I’m concerned they’re doing good work.
I wouldn’t pay for Discord.

I’ve paid for Discord Nitro for at least a few years now. Primarily I wanted to do my part to stave off exactly this sort of thing.
This feels bad. I don’t like this whatsoever.

I don’t have to pay to use Matrix/Element.
Also, how much money? Their entire purpose is to maximize profit. It’s not about keeping the lights on.
