    Discord is making this change because every tech company reaches a point where their growth slows down and in order to chase their old growth numbers they start fucking with systems that wor

    But they've explained exactly why they don't think the system they're fucking with works well. This isn't just a case of changing stuff to change stuff, they're changing something which is problematic to address those problems.

    Also notice how at first you were like "they're not more complicated" and now you're like "ok they are more complicated but it's worth it"

    Discord doesn't think it's worth it. It's as simple as that. Now you understand what they were thinking. But keep moving the goalposts.

      Discord doesn’t think it’s worth it.

      I've never denied this. I've only said that I do think it's worth it, and that I find Discord's explanation lacking.
