        If you are into emoticons, you can use custom emoticons of one server on another. If you share files, such as clips, until recently discord allowed only 8mb on free tier. Now it is 25mb, but can get up to 500mb with nitro. Video streaming is limited to 1080p at 30fps, nitro unlocks up to 4k with 60fps.

        Basically allows more bandwidth and storage on their servers, which is understandable I think.

          Animated emojis are also nitro exclusive. And you can boost “server”, which unlocks more customizations for “servers”.

          I have access to all that for free, except file size. If I need to send a large file I have google.

            Yes hello

            I would also like for you to pay me $20 (your choice of currency)

            After you delete discord please send $20 to my lemmy account.

            So far as I know, they’re not shoving 20 ads in your face on every screen.

            I know they’re far from perfect. Heck they have a forced arbitration clause in their ToS.

            But compared to other services lately, Discord seems to mostly be trying to treat users as customers instead of products for advertisers. I’ll take it, and get some neat conveniences from Discord in turn.

        You get all your emotes cross server and you can upload bigger files + stream in better quality, but i don’t think any of this is really worth it.

        I only have it for bigger upload file size. I send big files surprisingly frequently

          Makes sense then if you get genuine use out of it. Reading your comment and other comments, I don’t really use/need any of those features.

        I mostly just pay for it because I’ve used it for ages and definitely get more value out of it than the subscription cost. I don’t think I use a single nitro feature.

            They send random gifts some times, usually a code to redeem something in a game I don’t play.

            Some super reacts - animated emojis basically.

            Other than that I really couldn’t tell you. I don’t think the subscription is worth what the subscription gives, but the alternative is the free product gets worse faster, and that would disrupt a lot of communities that I enjoy interacting with.

            Thinking of Discord as a whole, I think it is worth the nitro price. Not in love with the trajectory though.

    I disabled sticker suggestions immediately when they introduced that garbage feature

    I hate how the Linux client needs to manually updated about once a week, then it downloads more updates. I hate how it says it’s my lucky day.
