4%? Not worthy of a post or news article 😂
I think it's even more than that, they have not been filling vacated positions and been restructuring teams for at least a year. Overall layoffs at Discord have hit 10-15% with this.
I'm actually impressed they've managed to keep it at just 4%
Recruiters are probably next if things don’t improve
Once again Discord proves it's a horribly run company. Their software is trash and they let go of marketing? 🤪
Your core tech us where it fails. I used your VOIP feature and it's abysmal. So shut up and get back to work, or you'll get let go next fool!
the reviews on glassdoor for discord are horrible, seems it’s gone downhill since last year & turnover is high

Lack of diversity in engineering division at X
I m curious how do they make money
Subscription service I believe, lower tier at $2.99 and higher tier at $9.99 a month. The perks are being able to use emojis across diff servers / server boosting / larger size file upload to discord etc
Premium features. My server is small and all of us boosted it to highest level. Most servers in on pay for something premium. It’s got a good trough to feed from and hook you.
