As if backlash matters to them. There's 200+ million active daily users. They're betting on the majority not giving a fuck, and they are right.

I try and try again to convince my friends to leave discord, but they don't care. Not sure what it will take for them to change.

Seriously, I already deleted my discord account once before, because their terms of service already were claiming that all private messages and channel messages are being collected and sold to advertisers and data collection groups. I only joined back because I missed my friends. But now?? I could give a fuck, I already spun up Sharkord, and it runs well. In 6 months time, it will likely be good enough to completely ditch discord, so fuck it. My privacy matters more than friends who don't use their damn brains.

They don't even need the majority to not give a fuck. Just the idiots that pay for nitro
