Discord isn’t exactly known for generous file-sharing limits, still, the messaging app offered a 25MB limit to free users. The company has now updated its support page to reflect the upload limit for free users has been lowered to 10MB.

Discord continues down it's path to total enshittification, which is exactly what I told everyone would happen when this fucking dogshit app got pushed on me around 2018 or so.

It's a private company with a profit motive. Fucking shocker that it enshittifies. /s

Fucking dipshit gamers not knowing any better.

I was promoting Matrix/Riot.IM (now Element) and nobody gave a shit because it was too hard to use even though it mostly has the same interface as Discord. (Which, by the way, fuck this interface.)

What an overreaction. Also FYI the free file limit was 8MB two years ago before they raised the limit to 25MB, so if anything it's gotten better.

I saw this headline and was thinking, "Huh, I thought the limit was 8MB."

Ok but why are you so angry about it?

I’ve been using it for years and haven’t had to pay a dime.

How have they harmed you with their free app?

Look, I'm as upset as you are about the enshittification of everything, but this is a bit too far.

There was always legitimate issues with Discord's storage management, and they at least seem to be taking it seriously now.

I'm not a massive fan of Discord, but this is a bit of an overreaction.

LITERALLY UNUSABLE 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Discord is fine for 99% of users.
