A Discord community for gay gamers is in disarray after one of its moderators and an executive at Anthropic forced the company’s AI chatbot on the Discord, despite protests from members.
Users voted to restrict Anthropic’s Claude to its own channel, but Jason Clinton, Anthropic’s Deputy Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) and a moderator in the Discord, overrode them. According to members of this Discord community who spoke with 404 Media on the condition of anonymity, the Discord that was once vibrant is now a ghost town. They blame the chatbot and Clinton’s behavior following its launch.

I get the analogy but it’s just chat software. Discord isn’t that important to me that it’s going to be a tragedy when it boils and by then, there will (hopefully) be an equivalent alternative we can move to. If not, we’ll use something “worse” and it’ll be fine.
But until then, it’s still the best by a wide margin even if it has a stupid nitro button.
