    I don't have to deal with this platform anymore.

    And I'm getting angry every time a software website says "For reading the manual or changelog, join our Discord" or "Get this 100% free tool by joining our Discord". If I have to sign up for a platform to get a "free" tool or to check out "public" changelogs, they are neither free nor public.

    Discord is painfully overrated.

    Well, it is indeed... I heard that some people are moving away from Discord to open source Discord-like clones or something.

    I tried that, but cool niche things still insist on using it. I keep an account and only use the browser app, and 2FA makes sign-in inconvenient enough to not want to check casually :p

    I am so much more productive and interested in things I care about ever since I nuked my YouTube account.
