A smaller size limit on what amounts to free file hosting isn't exactly enshittification. Servers and hard drives aren't free.
The process of enshitification is what I was referring to. Discord got super popular by providing users with lots of value for zero cost.
Now, in order to increase profits, they are reducing the scope of features they offer, and increasing the cost of the features that remain.
This will continue to slowly get worse, as users are more locked into Discord's ecosystem and userbase, they will be further pressured to upgrade and pay more money for less stuff.
Uhoh, the widdle baby poopy pants corporation can't handle doing their job. Maybe they can just get the fuck out of the way and let the real adults host our own shit?
