I unsubscribed through the desktop app and it was instant and had no fanfare. It didn't even give me a place to share why I was canceling. That's a bit disappointing.

When I cancelled it offered a pity "Hey there, instead of cancelling do you want three months of nitro for free?"

Sad that I can't get rid of this thing. It basically labels me as having once paid for nitro in ages past. This was before most of the nitro features we know today existed.

Nitro WAS a lot of fun.

One server I'm in, some butthead had a problem with the admin and started reporting posts to try and get the server taken down.

When I got my third report in two days I cancelled Nitro because why give money to a platform I might lose access to?

Now, I don't feel so bad.

This is almost certainly far less "keep Junior from seeing the titties" and far more "Have a way to track actual activists and others organizing against The Regime"

if you absolutely must have 1080 streaming and emojis and shit, use vencord. all discord did is lock higher quality streaming behind a paywall, then entice you to pay for it by giving you access to funny hats. you can get all the funny hats and hq streaming by using vencord.

Well I'm glad I cancelled prior for other reasons, but not getting it back now. If I knew a platform that my friends were on I'd bail to there, but discord has become integral for a lot of projects.

I can't believe discord thinks this is ok.

I wasn't using nitro to begin with. I'm mostly interested in a simple family text based chat feature so if discord becomes too annoying, I'll find something else.

discord announced that in the next few months they're making the age-restricted view the default for *everyone* globally -- not just new accounts, all existing ones -- and you'll be required to submit documentation proving your age to access nsfw content. also they had a huge data breach recently.

"having issues processing it" aka them deliberately pulling the plug on cancellations on the backend + blaming a glitch until the backlash hopefully blows over

would be illegal if provable, which it's not. but it just-so-happens to happen every time in these situations (recall when Disney+ did it?)

There are things to be conspiratorial over but I don't think this is it. Servers have traffic limitations dependent on software and hardware. The exact same thing happens when more people than expected want to buy something.

I just cancelled fine, so it probably was a glitch and is already fixed

I doubt it's that deep. It's probably struggling with many people cancelling their Nitro subscriptions all at once, just like what happened when people were cancelling their Disney+ subscriptions at once, back in the Fall. This actually looks promising to me.

For anyone giving up Nitro, the first time you look at emotes and they are all crossed-out, you may feel your will-power weaken.

What you can do is install BetterDiscord and the YABDP4Nitro plugin by Riolubruh to keep them (or a similar plugin of your choice). This may just be enough to stay dry.
