Time to cancel your subscription and save money on top of your sanity
What’s so good about nitro that people actually pay for it? Genuinely asking.
pointing alien, mostly
😂 Worth every penny
If you are into emoticons, you can use custom emoticons of one server on another. If you share files, such as clips, until recently discord allowed only 8mb on free tier. Now it is 25mb, but can get up to 500mb with nitro. Video streaming is limited to 1080p at 30fps, nitro unlocks up to 4k with 60fps.
Basically allows more bandwidth and storage on their servers, which is understandable I think.
This actually makes sense. I don’t use any of those features
Animated emojis are also nitro exclusive. And you can boost “server”, which unlocks more customizations for “servers”.

I have access to all that for free, except file size. If I need to send a large file I have google.
LMAO 🤣🤣🤣
I would pay to not have to use discord. TIL people are paying to use it!!
Yes hello
I would also like for you to pay me $20 (your choice of currency)
After you delete discord please send $20 to my lemmy account.
you
would
I don’t use discord
So far as I know, they’re not shoving 20 ads in your face on every screen.
I know they’re far from perfect. Heck they have a forced arbitration clause in their ToS.
But compared to other services lately, Discord seems to mostly be trying to treat users as customers instead of products for advertisers. I’ll take it, and get some neat conveniences from Discord in turn.
You get all your emotes cross server and you can upload bigger files + stream in better quality, but i don’t think any of this is really worth it.
Tbh it’s good if one can do without the pro features. That gives one more freedom to support them or not.
More servers, profile banners, etc.
It can be useful. I use it often, so nitro is very helpful.

Stream quality was worthwhile during pandemic. I participated in quite a few movie/TV nights streaming to a few friends on Discord.
I only have it for bigger upload file size. I send big files surprisingly frequently
Makes sense then if you get genuine use out of it. Reading your comment and other comments, I don’t really use/need any of those features.

I have the basic $3 one, I just call it my shitposting tax. Longer messages, using emotes in any server and larger files. I use it a lot since my friends haven’t warmed up to Matrix yet, might as well support them while its not total trash
Higher file size uploads and streams.
I mostly just pay for it because I’ve used it for ages and definitely get more value out of it than the subscription cost. I don’t think I use a single nitro feature.
What IS in the nitro? Like what do you get when sub to it?
They send random gifts some times, usually a code to redeem something in a game I don’t play.
Some super reacts - animated emojis basically.
Other than that I really couldn’t tell you. I don’t think the subscription is worth what the subscription gives, but the alternative is the free product gets worse faster, and that would disrupt a lot of communities that I enjoy interacting with.
Thinking of Discord as a whole, I think it is worth the nitro price. Not in love with the trajectory though.
I appreciate the way you think.
you
Animated emojis are also exclusive to nitro, but super react is more animated effects that can be combined with any emoji

I disabled sticker suggestions immediately when they introduced that garbage feature
It want you, not clear?

shouldn’t pay for discord nitro.I hate how the Linux client needs to manually updated about once a week, then it downloads more updates. I hate how it says it’s my lucky day.
There’s a config file setting where you can make discord allow itself to be run no matter how out of date it is but it’s hard to remember, hard to find every time you forget it and I don’t remember what it is.

i love being jumpscared by nitro.
Fucking shit ass platform.
YOU🫵👽

I’m pretty sure he wants you to crank that Soulja Boy.

This mindset is how many free apps we care about end up as advertising and data-selling businesses.
