I’m in a very small town, we only have a bar. $100/mo for 500mb/s up and down, at least I actually get that though. Rarely is it less, but they also hooked us all up with fiber when they ran the fiber thru the center of the city. Price is also largely because they are literally the only internet provider unless you go with satellite – which I was considering but with the weather here…probably not ideal.

What makes you think it’s “just to read announcement”. The initial post didn’t even mention announcements, nor was it the purpose of the discord. Yet that’s all you can seem to hold on to. It’s already been stated there was miscommunication on one announcement and that was that.

Do you see the issue now or do you need help?

This doesn’t even make sense because it appears you didn’t even read the original discord post or even have an understanding about it.

A) It’s not a requirement to join discord, and never was made to be.

B) Discord is of itself a community communication platform for IM.

C) Millions of people actively use discord, it’s a popular platform and easier then others like Matrix. If it was something I didn’t already use, I would’ve never joined.

Your message is filled with incorrect assumptions and it appears your unwilling to go find the answers that are even on the same page as these comments. It’s very surprising with the internet nowadays and people can’t even seem to find information that is right in front of them, yet they act like they already have the facts.

Why would I be active in the DC when its supposedly purpose was announcements about the site and whenever this site is down?

Could you please clarify your source, the discord post as OP mentioned doesn’t read that. Lemmy.world announced their Discord server. And if you looked around the main purpose isn’t focused around announcements. It seems there was miscommunication and it wasn’t posted to lemmy, mistakes happen.

“Why would you assume/expect people join in a DC server to interact?”

That is sort of the point of Discord as a instant message community platform.

I joined the discord because:

• The internal lemmy direct messages sucks.
• I already use discord anyways.
• It’s a great way to not spam unrelated comments. etc

Why did you join?

I’m assuming the reason would’ve been trolling. Considering the bottom of this is all you did and didn’t put a statement like “I don’t agree with this channel, I think it’s uncalled for” etc etc. although even that I would put into !support@lemmy.world

Just tagged a channel and said clownery with no activity in the discord really. Just wanted to add the additional context here and figured a SS would help too.

Yep, after finding out about Verizon locking bios I decided to never by direct from carrier again. Plus, these alternative OS options need support. I run GraphineOS, it was quick and easy, never had an issue.

But google probably has been working on making newer versions of android closed-sourced, especially for OEMS. I say probably because there isn’t any actual hardcore proof but imo the bios lock is just the start.

Yep, I have 7a Pixel with GraphineOS and it works.

There are apps I seen on the app store that bypasses the carrier restrictions though too.

Basically the same here like I have 20GB at full speed and then slows down a lot. But at least Verizon requires a data plan with any smart phone. I’m only away from wifi maybe 4hrs a month, I only need call/text not data.

My understanding is call/text goes thru the internet now so they force the data plan.

That is amazing. Great job everyone!

Yeah, honestly i just turned it off to see the bots posts…at least for now its too spammy imo
