    Never understood why anyone would want to pay 100$ a year for discord, the paid version doesnt give you that much imo

        I agree with you in principle for supporting developers directly through something like OpenCollective…

        … but ask Mozilla how much their Firefox devs get for each financial donation.

          The company is the heart of the software and it would not exist without the company most likely. True the execs get probably a larger share of any payments but it’s just the way the world works. It’s a piece of software produced by the company, not the developers.

      Personally, Discord has facilitated a long distance relationship with my now wife, and nearly ten years of weekly TTRPG games. I don’t mind the cost because they cannot provide that service for free forever, and I think it’s worth it for what I get out of it. The other benefits they add for paying are almost just bonuses to me after that.

      Which is a good monetation system. Premium users barely get anything but still enough to pay, while free users can do pretty much everything too.

      I pay $30 a year for Nitro Basic. It’s only $2.50 a month and worth it to me with how much I use it.

      personally the $3 a month nitro is worth it for me, considering how much I use it. I know Lemmy hates anything capitalist but a coffee a month isnt that much
