ALAS, THAT WAS MYSTIQUE, NOT MAGNETO. MAGNETO IS IN ANOTHER PLACE. GO! X-MEN!

UNDERSTAND THAT THERE IS NO POINT IN LIVING. CRY, THAT THERE IS NO ANSWER!
I don't want to have children, but if I knew I was going to get Alzheimer's at 65 I would plan to leave this world at 64.
Maybe if we didn't spend all our money on... whatever this is, money wouldn't be so tight.

It's not okay to pretend your software is open source (Drew DeVault, 2018)
Please don't use Discord for free software projects
I imagine a world beyond proprietary software, and GNU/Linux is the most promising implementation of that.
I don't agree with reducing software-freedom to an issue of mere privacy-friendliness. I'm willing to be realistic about the security shortcomings of Libre software but not if the alternative is locked down silos and walled gardens.
People are going to complain no matter how they try to make money, but this should at least have been opt-in with clear consent. The alternative of course is being beholden to Google search referrals. They can't photosynthesize funds.
Vivaldi, Brave, and their stans are getting their pitchforks ready, forgetting that they don't have to do the hard work of developing an engine because Google already does that for them.
Being a free software GNU distribution is also the point of Guix, and it's part of what attracted me to it (although its practical abilities are nice as well).
You're being heavily downvoted because this instance is "a community of free software and privacy enthusiasts" as the title on the front page suggests, and this in particular is the [email protected] community. Discord is the complete antithesis of this, as it is a proprietary application locked to a centralized server that also spies on its users.

Spyware level: Extremely High (Spyware Watchdog)
That being said, there are modern alternatives to IRC, such as Matrix, XMPP, Zulip, Mattermost, or RocketChat. However, I think IRC is fairly good at what it does.
this, it's a cryptomoney scheme. They need to promote Brave in order to increase the value of the cryptomoney token. There's also an affiliate referral link program I've seen spammed a couple of times
Lemmy
This one's obvious to us all but I think it's fitting.
Why's it called Lemmy?
- Lead singer from Motörhead.
- The old school video game.
- The Koopa from Super Mario.
- The furry rodents.
Lemmings have a reputation for mindless groupthink, due to the unfortunate myth that lemmings are prone to jumping off cliffs. Lemmy is similarly misunderstood as a platform where strict ideological alignment is mandated and dissension is banned, but by and large the majority of moderation action on this instance is against spammers.
