I’m going to take a rather controversial stance on this. I don’t see this as such a bad Thing

First of all, running a discord server, especially a large one is not easy and discord mods deserve to be paid for their time just as much as anyone else.

While I will say that I’m not a huge fan of discord’s new focus on massive servers, it’s clear that that’s what brings in the big dough for them.

If this helps discord keep the lights on, and keep small servers running that’s good for me as much as it is good for them.

Also, I’d much rather this than ads ngl
