From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Wayland and audio is fixed, but only on the canary branch for the moment, this isnt lazy either, they changed the whole screenshare flow to suit linux's permission prompts

Wouldn't limiting server sizes and getting rid of community searching be removing features? Why would anyone want that?

And Discord used to have #XXXX at the end of usernames.

Why would anyone want that?

1 they aren’t pedos

2 they want an app to talk to their friends with

3 they don’t want to be victims of misinformation campaigns

And Discord used to have #XXXX at the end of usernames.

Yeah it was better, it meant if you were being stalked you could just have the numbers changed. Now you need a completely different alias with the only purpose to be discouraging victims from getting help

1- What does that have to do with anything?

2- Then make a private server for just your friends.

3- Then make a private server for just your friends.

And no, it wasn't better. Just... different.

  1. The people that want the public servers/control of a bunch of kids are pedos

2/3 opposite of above: the people who would join public servers are too young to know not to

It's rather odd you think discord is full of children... And that there aren't verification processes in place.

You're creating a problem with Discord that doesn't exist, or at least, not in any way that's unique to discord.
