    If you are into emoticons, you can use custom emoticons of one server on another. If you share files, such as clips, until recently discord allowed only 8mb on free tier. Now it is 25mb, but can get up to 500mb with nitro. Video streaming is limited to 1080p at 30fps, nitro unlocks up to 4k with 60fps.

    Basically allows more bandwidth and storage on their servers, which is understandable I think.

      Animated emojis are also nitro exclusive. And you can boost “server”, which unlocks more customizations for “servers”.

      I have access to all that for free, except file size. If I need to send a large file I have google.

        Yes hello

        I would also like for you to pay me $20 (your choice of currency)

        After you delete discord please send $20 to my lemmy account.

        So far as I know, they’re not shoving 20 ads in your face on every screen.

        I know they’re far from perfect. Heck they have a forced arbitration clause in their ToS.

        But compared to other services lately, Discord seems to mostly be trying to treat users as customers instead of products for advertisers. I’ll take it, and get some neat conveniences from Discord in turn.
