Discord to start showing ads in the coming week after resisting for almost a decade

Privacy has become a very important issue in modern society, with companies and governments constantly abusing their power, more and more people are waking up to the importance of digital privacy.
In this community everyone is welcome to post links and discuss topics related to privacy.

much thanks to @gary_host_laptop for the logo design :)
To be fair, there was a time before Discord. People once used MSN, Skype, Teamspeak, IRC, etc.
They shouldn't get too comfortable with the idea that people won't just up and leave.
There has to be something to leave for
Closest I know is Revolt.

Element.io
Discord has real advantages over many of those, and communities are slow to pick up and move. It'll take either a very bad decision from discord or a good competitor. I want that competitor to be Matrix, but it's far from perfect.
Well, adding ads could easily be that very bad decision, if anything can position itself as an attractive alternative fast enough
I don't think it will take just one of those, it will take both.
