Discord will switch to temporary file links to block malware delivery::Discord will switch to temporary file links for all users by the end of the year to block attackers from using its CDN (content delivery network) for hosting and pushing malware.
That comparison is poor. Kroger is a store for groceries. If DropBox started saying files were temporary, I’d think that was ridiculous. Discord should have always required a third party storage solution for longer term storage. They’re a chat app. Like zoom. And zoom provides integration with cloud file services.
Discord is a free chat app that offered a paid service of file storage. Because they arent actually trying to be a chat app.
They are trying to be a community hub. A hub that offers the bare minimum for a community for free, with paid upgrades to community care, communication, interaction, and convenience.
Which included file storage. Which is why so many people chose them for their community hub.
that offered a paid service of file storage
This is just patently false, so you’re either completely clueless or are being dishonest to stir up outrage.
No it isnt? The paid subscriptions upgraded your file upload size with advertised emphasis on the permanence of the upload remaining.
That was half the reason why emulator communities started moving to discord. Because they could pay to be able to share rom modification files and know discord would act like a running library.
No one likes change.
removed by mod
That is a completely unrelated argument.
Is something changing?
Do people like it?
Does water falling from the sky cause the ground underneath to become wet?
It sure does, but like your questions, has nothing to do with what’s being discussed.
