I’m curious as to how many here choose to use Discord over Matrix and pay them for the Nitro subscription.

    I paid for it for a few months. I did it mostly to throw them a few bucks because I have heavily used their video calling for years.

    The only feature I found remotely valuable was 1080p streaming. My friends and I often do movie night on Discord, and being able to watch full-res at higher bandwidth was nice. I also used the feature that let’s you post longer messages, but I consider that bullshit because that’s just an arbitrary restriction they impose on free users to try and drum up cash.

    I’ve since cancelled because I’m unhappy with the features they’ve been using my money on. I don’t care about animated profile gimmicks or crappy video call games. And I don’t like the way they shove them in your face when you open the app.
