... for creepy, useless stuff that no one is asking for, like "remixing" other people's avatars (creepy), and making Clyde into an AI chat bot (useless), is just like the time discord wanted to pivot to blockchain/crypto/NFTs.

As with back then, we all have to give discord a kicking until it stops. Do cancel those nitro subs! Do leave them some feedback about why! Do uncheck those options to let discord use your data for extra gravy!

Having to continually rein in the denser impulses of the worst corporate tech bro owner-types, by loudly and repeatedly kicking their shittiest tech bro ideas to the curb, is a boring social activity for sure. But without better alternative platforms, it's a common good kind of thing. Everyone takes 10 mins out of their day to deliver a metaphorical beat down to these shitty ideas, and then maybe discord have to backtrack again.

Anyway, you can always spend the nitro sub money on Cohost Plus instead, so there's always an upside too.
