Wow that has not been my experience thankfully, but I can definitely understand being upset by that, especially the fold stuff.

I advocate for voting with your wallet.

I didn’t mind the mobile UI update, it had some kinks at first that I mostly think have been worked out. So some of these kinds of things will just be difference of taste.

What decisions have impacted your ability to use the service? I’m not keen on all of the choices they’ve made, but they also don’t negatively impact the way that discord serves me.

This will be an unpopular opinion here, but Discord is worth paying for and I do. Obviously, everyone’s usage will differ, but I use it for video and voice chat for several hours a week and I can count on one hand the number of hours that have been disrupted by discord service outage. That kind of value is worth paying for imho.

I’d say private, not unlisted.

Switch to an instance that displays it, like kbin. I don’t think you can on lemmy.

This is tracked btw its just that your instance of Lemmy is deciding not to display it. You have 1512 reputation.
