    In a few months they will try again with “a completely different and 100% trusted group with no ties whatsoever to Persona and/or Peter Thiel”. By which I mean the exact same fucking company acting through a proxy. Don’t let this theater prevent you from leaving to a better platform. It’s still coming, they just want to wait for people to get complacent again.

      What’s the better platform that everyone should leave to? I looked into Stoat the other day but its obvious they aren’t currently equipped to handle the influx of traffic they’re getting, and a lot of dev work still needs to be done.

      They can kiss my producer’s butt, as he’s left Discord in 2020. He seemingly saw the writing on the wall for that, but had no clue at the time.
