I wish the UK government would fuck this off as well. Giving that creep the entire NHS health data backlog was a move of utter stupidity.

Thiel is in the Epstein files, literally is funding the destruction of our democracy and all democracies worldwide everyone Thiel should be arrested and charged with treason and sent to the hauge and be tried for crimes against humanity

Not just in them, good friends with Epstein and conspired with him to destabilise the west.

The fact they ever considered something affiliated with Peter Thiel in the first place is enough to abandon Discord.

Anything Thiel touches is compromised. All he does is steal your data so he can use it too brainwash you..

Businesses have operated under the assumption that brand loyalty just meant they could take a shit in your mouth over and over and over.

Fuck these businesses and fuck their piss poor anti consumer bullshit.

I went back to IRC a couple of weeks ago and it's been such a breath of fresh air to use good technology again.

Again? I swear I read the same headline earlier this month.

Discord publicly cut ties. What could they possibly do to convince us that it was legit?

[–] muxika@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

Damage is already done. Greetings from [matrix].

[–] DudeImMacGyver@kbin.earth 5 points 1 month ago
