when my nitro expired, I was astonished how much basic functionality was locked behind that paywall. The vanilla experience is so unpleasant.

Meanwhile on stoat, there is no subscription and most of discord's paid features are just... features. Sure, stoat is janky as balls, but so was discord when it was new.

Exactly, right? I remember streaming on discord was a pain because of all the lag and TeamSpeak + pigdin + Overwolf was so much better.

Now i use Legcord instead until my friends switch, which I hope is soon.

well, better streaming was one of the things that I was knowingly and intentionally paying for nitro for.

[–] redwattlebird@thelemmy.club 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Very interesting. I've never really noticed the difference.

[–] glitchdx@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

I've never been able to do a direct comparison, so maybe that part was a scam too.
