  • "Usernames are evolving"

    Quote from Panther

    It's time to accept that Discord has successfully isolated their core user base (gamers) by repeatedly shooting themselves in the foot with these updates. They have been trying to escape the taboo of being the "gamer" platform for quite some time now. I don't know why they're still doing this, honestly... if they just embraced the "by gamers, for gamers" attitude they had before they'd be in a much better place right now. As a company, they're now in an awkward position where they have isolated their core audience and also failed to become acceptable in a mainstream context. Think of what happens when you mention Discord to your friends in real life - nobody wants to use it because they want to avoid the "discord mod" stigma. There are changes to the platform that should have been made to get rid of that stigma, but the changes that have actually happened have been in all the wrong places.

    This is what happens when a platform doesn't listen to its userbase. Granted, if I were Discord, I wouldn't exactly listen to them either since they take issue with anything that the platform does, however some of the criticism offered by Discord's userbase is entirely valid.


    This recent name system change is a great example of that. I can guarantee you that nobody who uses Discord ever asked for the username system to be changed. It already worked fine as is. I'd be willing to wager if Discord had just added global display names, there wouldn't have been as much controversy surrounding the change.


    All of these recent ill-advised changes/additions are what happens when you start blindly agreeing to everything your shareholders/investors suggest, who have probably never touched a social media platform outside of Facebook. Of course, I do want to see Discord grow and more features be added to the platform, however all of the recent additions have been absolutely terrible, or Nitro-exclusives. It's like, can you make it any less bleedingly obvious that your vision is obscured by wads of cash?


    I remember when it felt like the people at Discord knew what they were doing with their own platform. Now it feels like they're driving, out-of-control, into a tree.


    Discord will continue to gradually push terrible features/changes like this, until it becomes the next Skype or TeamSpeak.

    Ah, so you purposefully misrepresented what Alco said? Thank you, noted.


    You tried it on Kaboom? You should've stayed there, and rotted.


    Hope this helps,

    Objection for pretty much going against literally everything the server administrators stand for

    I work quite well in a staff position, and this is complete BS. I run a server and I also own a freeop server, FreedomAtLast. There is no staff. Just me with *actual* op.

    Do you work well with other people? Do you work well in positions of power below others? Do you work well on someone else's staff teams? Because all of the examples you've graciously listed here do not support that you "work quite well in a staff position", just that you may (or may not, since you seem to like lying[1][2][3][4], not to even MENTION your """bot"""[1]) know how to start a Minecraft server jar, give yourself OP and download plugins.


    EDIT: Just joined the IP you posted out of morbid curiosity.


    Do you even know what you're doing?

    You have violated server policies continuously[1][2] and show no signs of regret/remorse.

    Retaliation by attacking the server over personal beef that could likely be solved via DM's isn't a good look.


    My objection otherwise still stands.

    "attacking" the server? It was a spam raid. Spam raids don't crash anything (if you are not on Minehut, to be exact.)

    Whether or not "spam raids" crash the server (they CAN crash servers FYI, if you do it with enough bots), that isn't what Alco stated in his post. It certainly constitutes as attacking the server, and as such is quite clearly against the TotalFreedom Community Guidelines (rule 1 & 2). Seems like you either can't read (which is required for a staff position) or are purposefully attempting to misrepresent what Alco said in order to attack it.


    Please do better. You're not very good at lying.

    The server was much better without your presence.
