But why would someone pay for the software if the seller is not adding any value to to product?

A: the mistaken belief that the seller is adding value, even in the face of all evidence, which is caused by a capitalist tendency to believe that all prices are inherently just

B: disbelief in the idea of anything worthwhile being free, which is caused by the capitalist tendency to attack the free exchange of goods and services.

Yeah, I’m really looking forward to moving off Discord. The username change made the biggest difference to me, I lost the last of my trust in them to keep making user friendly decisions at that moment. But regardless of trust, my polycule needs a tool to differentiate headmates, and Discord is the only platform that has that so far. I know because I’ve looked. We’ll switch when a pluralkit equivalent is available

Discord is going to stay king in terms of queer community as long as it’s the only chat app with Pluralkit. My polycule can’t use anything else.

Trans subs on lemmy.world always get downvotes on half their posts. And yesterday they removed their rules against transphobia. It’s still against the rules to harass or bully, but if you don’t do either of those things then you can spread whatever hateful rumours, stereotypes, or slurs you want. So basically just don’t say it directly to a trans person and it’s allowed.

Lemmy just needs to fix the transphobia issues in order to be able to grow to the next stage.
