Very mild Discord vent

your_local_grubdogDiscord on android has had a lot more glitches for me as of late, which has also coincided with a sudden increase in Nitro related stuff. Like, I can genuinely think of only one big update that upgraded something for free members (which, I'm not counting the username thing as an upgrade as I'm largely indifferent to it), that being the frankly overdue increase to file size. This nitro focus wouldn't be as upsetting if not for, you know, the whole increased glitches thing. Like, it's hit or miss on if I get push notifications sent to my phone and sometimes the entire app bugs out to the point of being unusable until I close and open it again. And when I come back I'm greeted with begging to buy Nitro??? Why the fuck would I pay a monthly subscription for a service this buggy on the device I use it most often on????
Worst of all, the only reason I'm complaining instead of just using a different service is that it's a chat app. You can't just switch that easily; it's what my friends wish to stick to for now, so it's what I'm stuck with until they change their mind or it gets worse to the point of scaring even them off. And even if that happens, I do still have a Discord server of my own that I'd have to figure out SOMETHING to do with.
TL;DR - local dreamwidth and neocities user hates WEB 2.0/3.0, surprising literally no one.
