By flavor, you just mean lying?

The US gov isnt liberal, even by the definition tankies use. And not liking communism isnt fascism.

I was just confused on why they implied communism always becomes fascism

It doesnt matter if theyre pro or anti anything. They just dont deal in fact.

They dont stop pushing a narrative because it turned out to be false, they stop if they think it wont bring immediate monetary gains.

What the tories talk about is a measure of what the current grift is for quick cash, not what stories are factual or inaccurate.

Why would anyone give a shit what tories value or dont value? They dont trade in facts.

are you saying every communist state that has fallen, has fallen to fascism?

Its not going to effect the causal, non paying active users for sure.

But thats because they arent the paying customers. A lot of people who paid did so for the purpose of upgrading their personal servers, which pretty often included the file storage.

Im not in a ton of servers, but the ones who were community hubs are already discussing leaving discord over this, because the file convenience was the big draw of paying for discord. No idea where they want to move to, but they arent happy about sitting still.

Discord is a free chat app that offered a paid service of file storage. Because they arent actually trying to be a chat app.

They are trying to be a community hub. A hub that offers the bare minimum for a community for free, with paid upgrades to community care, communication, interaction, and convenience.

Which included file storage. Which is why so many people chose them for their community hub.

Do you think your company could get away with offering a paid service that included file hosting, and then suddenly announcing that the file hosting was now only temporary?

Or would you expect your customers to abandon you over any claims of "just find an alternative"?

E: to clarify, by "your company" I mean where you work. Im not assuming youre at a position of ownership

They literally were selling that. That was the thing they flaunted as a big reason to pay up, was the permanence of the file storage.

If they werent aware of that, or its effect on their sales, I would be genuinely shocked. That would be like mcdonalds being surprised people wanted fries with their combo meal.
