A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

But pretty much all of these organizations have their own Discord servers, don't they?
So why would it matter so much what the parent company does? If some changes are seen as unacceptable one could simply just not apply them to one'a own server. (It's not like the Discord company could force anyone to run some particular software on their server. How would that even work.)
I don't understand why people care what Discord does. If they do enough unwelcome changes the people who run their own servers will simply detach from the parent company.
You can't host your own Discord server
What do you mean by that? Tons of organizations, groups and people publish that they have their own Discord servers.
They are not hosting it themselves. All infrastructure is fully controlled by Discord and they are subject to all Discord rules and decisions.
