Do you pay for Discord Nitro? (lemmy.world)

I’m curious as to how many here choose to use Discord over Matrix and pay them for the Nitro subscription.

Yes, though just nitro basic. Discord doesn't show ads and claims to not sell my data. While I can afford to do so, I'd much rather pay a few bucks a month to keep it that way.

The number of people in this thread aggressively against a free-to-use service having any kind of way to pay employees and server bills makes me fucking depressed, and helps to explain why most free services I enjoy never seem to stay afloat with just an optional payment-based membership thing.

Edit: To people suggesting less corporate-based (whether FOSS or not) alternatives, that's totally cool! Just remember that the people behind these projects need some way to pay the bills the same way the corporate ones do, so I encourage you to contribute to them, whether that's through e.g., code improvements (which doesn't pay bills but is still helpful!) or plain old donations.
