  • Discord co-founder and CTO Stanislav Vishnevskiy wants you to know he thinks a lot about enshittification.

    You don’t say.

    With reports of an upcoming IPO and the news of his co-founder to hand leadership of the company over to a former Activision Blizzard executive, many Discord users are rightfully worried the platform is about to become, well, shit.

    I’m sorry, about to…? As if the developments of the last 2 years weren’t a downward spiral with the game integrations, ads and garbage UI redesigns one after the next? Alright then.











  • Personally I have a pair of the cloud alpha, and had them for about 2 years now, they’re very good for what they are

    I can’t speak to their other cheaper headsets but with this one I got, I feel that the quality between friends who had the version before it and the ones that were purchased by a colleague last month don’t really differ much in terms of quality.

    Again, I can’t speak to their stinger line or other models. Maybe those were affected more by the HP acquisition.



  • Let me start by saying that I agree that it’s a company that’s out there to make profit by any means and that they’ve been a huge pile of shite.

    But this isn’t virtue signalling.

    Virtue signalling by definition means preaching something you don’t practice.

    They didn’t only say they’re open sourcing it, they actually did.

    They might be doing it to try and “buy” some goodwill from the general populous, that’s possible, but they at least did something tangible to that end.

    Would’ve been cool if they released the assets too in addition to the code but I recon there might be reasons why that was not possible.
