I’ve never sent a picture through discord.

Also, if storing all that data is hard…trim all the chat logs after awhile…oh wait…then you wouldn’t be able to keep records of everything everyone’s ever done on there.

lemmywinksthegerbilking ,

to be fair though, the limit was 8MB originally, then they raised it to 25MB

interdimensionalmeme ,

Easy fix, don’t store any of it on the cloud. The client’s PC has plenty more than 25MB

Maybe they should just delete their data every month. Holding 1 20mb file or 2 10mb files aren’t much different

I gotta admit, I have no problem with introducing a completely new feature and locking it to paying members. But taking away an already existing feature from non-members, or limiting it in some way, is simply outrageous. They could’ve kept the upload limit at 25MB, and increased it for Nitro users to something like an entire gigabyte. This would’ve encouraged people to get Nitro. But lowering the upload limit for free users would just encourage them to leave and find an alternative (and the problem is that there aren’t any viable ones because they aren’t used as much).

jetsetdorito ,

the free upload limit was only recently bumped to 25mb, it used to be 8mb

Resol ,
@Resol@lemmy.world avatar

Heard that in a YouTube video.

This one in particular.

MerchantsOfMisery ,

Exactly. And they didn’t even give the 25 MB limit to every user. Some users were always stuck at 8 MB, and others 25 MB. I’m the latter and I was blown away at the decision to cut the file size limit down to 1/3rd of what I was used to.

8mb.video

^ This website will compress videos down to 8 MB but the video quality ends up being awful, plus I’m not so sure how I feel about the privacy/security issues of uploading personal videos to some rando website so they can be compressed.

I REALLY hate this “rolling out” of new features. Seriously, I hate it. I remember Instagram doing it when pressing the screen during Reels playback, on some accounts it pauses, on others it simply mutes the video.

Good riddance, Instagram.

werefreeatlast ,

So email came before Google. Email was good. You went to your computer and downloaded your inbox. You could either delete the email from the server and have it in your computer only or keep it in both places. With android and Google, the strategy was to give you an address that you couldn’t take with you anywhere, and to let you see and accumulate emails from any device such that your data could be used for AI and you couldn’t easily retain it and still use it globally. You can come up with your own email server, just not a gmail.com address. They own you until you just start elsewhere.

I am fortunate enough to know how to set up VMs and use Linux, so I run my own IRC server with a web interface (TheLounge). I can set the upload limit to what I want and settled for 100MB. This way my friends and I are not at the mercy of some proprietary software.

A smaller size limit on what amounts to free file hosting isn’t exactly enshittification. Servers and hard drives aren’t free.

Lettuceeatlettuce ,
@Lettuceeatlettuce@lemmy.ml avatar

The process of enshitification is what I was referring to. Discord got super popular by providing users with lots of value for zero cost.

Now, in order to increase profits, they are reducing the scope of features they offer, and increasing the cost of the features that remain.

This will continue to slowly get worse, as users are more locked into Discord’s ecosystem and userbase, they will be further pressured to upgrade and pay more money for less stuff.

UltraGiGaGigantic ,

Servers and hard drives aren’t free.

    arstechnica.com/…/discord-starts-down-the-dangero…

    They definitely sell user data. There is no doubt in my mind about it. I think the idea that Signal can’t be used in the same way is down to the marketing, especially sense Discord is now trying to transition away from gaming gamedeveloper.com/…/discord-is-pivoting-away-from…Signal literally has the same features + more than discord. You dont have to reveal your phone number to strangers anymore. Usernames are there. 1k+ member group chats EXIST. (I’m in one for fight for the future), screen sharing exists in calls. Theres no reason to need discord unless thats just where everyone else is.

    foremanguy92_ ,

    Discord is one of the worst company in term of privacy, they sell all of your datas, messages… First to make profit and then send it to the Chinese government. Thx to offer to me 10MB 😁

    SSJMarx ,

    Why exactly do you believe the Chinese government wants the messages of non-Chinese citizens? Because Discord is blocked in China proper.

    foremanguy92_ ,

    They want people datas as much as US wants them to do mass surveillance. Surveillance is power and all govs wants power

    SSJMarx ,

    Power to do what, exactly? It’s not like China is going to get non-citizens extradited from their home country to punish them for saying bad things about the CPC. Believing in vague generalities doesn’t help anyone, you’ve got to be specific.

    foremanguy92_ ,

    You should know that in this world most of the governments want to extand their “power” (in fact it’s the good world), by knowing all the stuffs that are happening in the world they gain some superior knowledge. Why do states are willing to do mass surveillance, to use security cameras, etc… It’s not to have more “citizens” but to gain more power

    SSJMarx ,

    Yes, but as a specific exercise, the US government wants to spy on US citizens because if gives them the power to arrest you. You could be committing crimes right now and not realize it, but if you ever become a person of interest they will use them against you.

    Of what use is specific data from specific nationals to a foreign government? They don’t have anywhere near the same level of power over your life as your home government does, all of that information is just fluff to them.

    And not for nothing, but the original conversation was about Discord, which is partially owned by Tencent but partial ownership by a private Chinese firm does not give the Chinese government any kind of special control over the platform.

    foremanguy92_ ,

    No no no, mass surveillance or global surveillance means a surveillance at the world scale meaning that all the people from everywhere would be watched. They just want to gain datas about everyone, to one day maybe use it. Cover leaks, cover several things… For sure today you will not be under the control of a foreign gov but tomorrow if they need to they could track you to achieve their goals.

    With the case of Discord, you probably should know that in China the big companies are really related to the Chinese gov. Take the case of Tencent and search online for share owned by the gov. That’s all. Datas trough Discord are not safe at all.

    Please discord die already

    MerchantsOfMisery , (edited )

    Until a viable alternative is presented, I doubt Discord will die anytime soon. Part of the problem is people have a hard time accepting that even if you make the best meal in town, you’ve gotta get people to step inside before they’ll try it. To an extent, this does involve winning a popularity contest of sorts if you want Discord to die.

    I think often times folks are torn between enjoying a space/app as is, and making compromises to attract a larger group. IMO Linux has the same issue and that’s part of why die hard fanboys get so aggressively defensive when this is brought up.

    It’s the software equivalent of being the bitter "nice guy" that simultaneously wants to attract a girlfriend (users) but is kind of an asshole to women. You might think you don’t stink but please wear deodorant.

    PolandIsAStateOfMind ,
    @PolandIsAStateOfMind@lemmy.ml avatar

    Yeah i also don’t think it’s dying hence the plea. But thing is, i don’t want alternative. I want this shit to die so i never want to see “join our discord” spammed absolutely everywhere when i want to get some info on anything.

    JameUwU ,

    There are viable alteratives, but they aren’t making money and can’t advertise. Signal is a prime example, its an amazing platform with feature parity + more to Discord. Regardless of how well a platform is polished, you need users. People will use the shittiest platform ever if it has users (Twitter and Reddit come to mind).

    MerchantsOfMisery ,

    Signal isn’t an alternative to Discord. I use both and they’re used very differently. Group movie watching for example is pretty easy on Discord.

    Digg had users and people jumped ship to Reddit because it was better.

    JameUwU ,

    You can screen share on signal so that argument makes absolutely no sense. and people down voting me without explaining why are probably too stubborn to switch away from discord.

    MerchantsOfMisery ,

    That’s a feature that was implemented what, 1 or 2 years ago when Signal’s been around for a decade?

    You can’t possibly expect people to just jump from one social app to another that has such a relatively small user base and little familiarity. Entire Discord servers would have to jump ship and it would just be a nightmare for most people.

    What Discord prioritizes, Signal treats as an afterthought. Things like group chat, video chat, GIF usage, etc, Signal has never really prioritized.

    Discord’s mobile and PC apps both allow users to select GIFs within the application, whereas only Signal’s mobile app allows users to select GIFs within the application and Signal’s desktop app doesn’t allow for in-app GIF selection. If you’re reading this thinking "who tf cares about stupid stuff like that?", you’re completely missing the point because regular ass users care about stuff like that and they totally will say “fuck that” to an alternative if it doesn’t have features like this. Why doesn’t Signal incorporate in-app GIF selection for its desktop app? I’m sure it will be eventually implemented but dragging their heels like this for popular features and then having the nerve to ask "why aren’t people flocking to us instead of Discord/WhatsApp" is such an out of touch question to ask.

    When open source developers ask for feedback from regular users and their response to said feedback is"ACKSHUALLY it’s your fault, not the application’s fault", as it often is, it’s no surprise that their software never gains traction. It’s like a guy who wears cargo pants to a formal affair and then gets into an argument over attire because in his mind, cargo pants = more pockets = superior, completely oblivious to every other factor.

    Another thing-- Signal requires your phone number, Discord doesn’t. I know right away folks are going to rage about how Discord is the real privacy nightmare, not Signal. I don’t disagree, but the average user is just going to be more wary about being forced to give up their phone number in order to use Signal, even if the software now allows them to hide it.

    JameUwU ,

    Phone number point is stupid to bring up because most public discord servers turn on the setting that prevents you from speaking until you’ve verified a phone number, and I’d trust signal with my number over discord any day of the week. I never said general users should jump ship, I said that the reason they DONT is because other platform dont have the advertising budget, nor the user base to make users jump ship. People act like they give a shit about features but as soon as they can only talk to their friends because they all left for one platform, even if its “worse” because of the feature set, they WILL follow or be left out. Its why I originally joined Discord, I didn’t want to leave Skype but thats where everyone was going. I am now taking the other side where I refuse to use discord. I use Signal and Matrix. if people want to talk to me, they talk to me on there or not at all, and ykno what. Ive gotten 20+ people to switch.

    MerchantsOfMisery ,

    Discord doesn’t require a phone number to use it and there’s tons of servers that don’t require phone number verification. The vast majority of servers I’m in have no phone number requirement. Signal straight will not work without your phone number, in any capacity. I’m sure you’d trust Signal over Discord with your phone number any day of the week but as I said, that’s an irrelevant point because we’re talking about why people are more attracted to Discord over Signal. Slacks vs ugly cargo pants.

    I said that the reason they DONT is because other platform dont have the advertising budget, nor the user base to make users jump ship.

    Have you ever seen an ad for Discord? I haven’t see one before and I only know about it through word of mouth. There’s nothing stopping people from creating Signal groups for various hobbies and including a Signal link in their social media page.

    Refusing to use Discord might be noble from a privacy/security point of view but from a broader perspective, you’re significantly limiting your social interactions and not because of the people but the app the people are using to communicate with. It’s like not using a phone at all because pretty much any phone is a privacy/security issue.

    JameUwU ,

    I use CalyxOS and keep airplane mode on when I’m not expecting any calls over the celluar network 🤷‍♂️ I suppose youre right that Ive never seen an ad for Discord, I also just haven’t seen ads in well over 5 years. I did assume they advertised so if Im wrong thats on me. I refuse to be a product and feel others should as well. If people want to sell themselves in exchange for a money-less service I suppose thats their own decision.

    I already use a different app for voice chat, and never used Discord’s voice chat feature.

    Discord is a modern alternative to IRC, Slack, or a more fully featured version of Matrix. I never considered it for the voice chat feature.

    People always bring up voice chat alternatives, which don’t replace Discord at all, because voice chat is a tiny unimportant feature of Discord that I wouldn’t notice if they removed.

    What format are you saving them in? BMP? Try png.

    30p87 ,
    @30p87@feddit.org avatar

    I am using png. Level 0 compression tho and in 4k (38402160), sometimes even 4k + 21440p (2560*1440), but it’s already too large with just my main 4k monitor.

    tetris11 ,
    @tetris11@lemmy.ml avatar

    PNG started out as ZIP(BMP) and hasn’t gotten that much better. Use JPEG. The pixels you lose are not worth crying about

    lemmyingly ,

    Or they could just compression for their PNGs. PNG is a lossless format so they’ll only lose a fraction of a second during creation.

    B0rax ,

    JPEG for graphics like screenshots is not very efficient. For stuff like that, png is simply superior. (But not with compression 0)

    PNG is not good for photos though.

    tetris11 ,
    @tetris11@lemmy.ml avatar

    why though? The graphics represented in the screen are already squashed and scaled, so you wouldn’t be preserving their quality in any case. If you’re worried about text, JPEG should still be able to handle it under high quality settings

    B0rax ,

    We can ask the same the other way around: why do you want to use jpg if it results in a bigger size and worse quality than png?

    tetris11 ,
    @tetris11@lemmy.ml avatar

    But that’s patently untrue: take this 10 MB example TIFF file as an example.

    • PNG Compression, max compress (=quality 9):

      
<span style="color:#323232;">convert file_example_TIFF_10MB.tiff -quality 9 test.png
</span>

    • JPG Encoding, 99% quality (=quality 99):

      
<span style="color:#323232;">convert file_example_TIFF_10MB.tiff -quality 99 test.jpg
</span>

    Final file size comparison:

    
<span style="color:#323232;">9.7M Sep  5 13:21 file_example_TIFF_10MB.tiff
</span><span style="color:#323232;">1.7M Sep  5 13:22 test.jpg
</span><span style="color:#323232;">2.5M Sep  5 13:22 test.png
</span>

    PNG is significantly larger, and difference in quality between them is negligible

    B0rax ,

    Dude. Did you even read what I wrote? PNG is bad for photos. Your example is a photo. Go ahead and try the same with a screenshot with text and menus showing.

    ms_lane ,

    png - jpg

    jpg with 80% compression, via krita.

    As B0rax said, for screenshots, png is better - it can represent line graphics and text more efficiently.

    tetris11 ,
    @tetris11@lemmy.ml avatar

    Thanks for this. Still, I would be curious to see this for a 4K level image. Also I wonder if your screenshot tool did a bitmap copy of the screen or intrinsically converted it to PNG first before pasting it into your paint editor.

    30p87 ,
    @30p87@feddit.org avatar

    I use 4k because I like seeing a lot of stuff at the same time in good quality.
    I make screenshots of my whole screen to share all the stuff in the highest detail.
    Using jpeg would result in literally unreadable pictures.

    VOwOxel ,

    Depends on the Quality setting and version of jpeg. Even the original jpeg, on high quality, will result in little to no data loss. IIRC, Jpeg can even do lossless, with the only caveat being that it doesn’t save alpha channels (but screenshots don’t need to have transparency, anyway). Newer versions of jpeg, such as jpeg-2000 (and the much less broadly supported jpeg-XL) have much better compression and provide higher image quality at lower file size.

    “jpegification” or “Deep-frying” only really occurs with the original jpeg at low quality settings.

    B0rax ,

    Why 0 compression?

    30p87 ,
    @30p87@feddit.org avatar

    Because it was never a problem. It’s a little bit faster for encoding and decoding, and no service ever had problems with the file size. Especially not my selfhosted stuff. Every service, except discord. As I now have resorted to using Vencord or just uploading most media to Nextcloud, I don’t have that many issues with it anymore, anyway.

    How does Vencord help with the upload limit?

    nekusoul ,
    @nekusoul@lemmy.nekusoul.de avatar

    On the other hand, the time spent uploading/downloading much smaller files probably more than makes up for that, although even that difference might get pretty small with modern internet connections.

    You know PNG is lossless compression right?

    30p87 , (edited )
    @30p87@feddit.org avatar

    Yes. But in theory it’s still a performance hit, and as I have enough local storage (and typically use services with high limits), and I’m too lazy to change grims config just for discord, I never changed it and used Vencord instead.

    JackbyDev ,

    Why do you think it’s a performance hit?

    30p87 ,
    @30p87@feddit.org avatar

    Because even though it saves over 29 MB, it also takes more than 20 times as long. And that’s just on my laptop, 1920x1080 + 2*1680x1050. On my PC it’s even worse. https://feddit.org/pictrs/image/c65c83b8-4d4e-4d5a-bbee-4790b4f8e636.png

    They increased to 25 to encourage media uploads to train their own models with. They now have collected enough metrics to realize, most valuable content is below 10MB. Now they are optimizing.
