The #enshittification of Slack drives me to Discord but it feels like it was designed for teenage boys.

@grumpygamer it's progressively getting worse. There are 90 unnecessary buttons that all link to their stupid shop to buy nitro so that you can have an animated display picture for like 15 bucks a month.

@grumpygamer

The "bro" factor makes everything feel like it was designed for teenaged boys. If not at first, then eventually.

It is within the power of those of us who see this as a problem, to solve it. To do so, we must be resolute, patient, persistent, and brave.

I do believe we can, and that we must, be willing to include teenaged boys in our solution.

Anything else is just a cycle, not a destination.

@grumpygamer Don’t worry, Discord has its own enshittification coming down the pipe. Forums specific to niche topics seem to be making a comeback. Maybe IRC.
