Eh if they don’t want people using their service that way, that’s their right. People who care about it that much should host a matrix instance.
Reminder that file uploads on discord more than a few mb is a paid feature.
25 is more than "a few" mb
Ignoring the fact that they were clearly talking in orders of magnitude, it was 8MB for a very long time and only recently got increased to 25.
I'd only recently noticed the change, because my multipicture and short video sends were failing less often.
