⚠️ OG Enshittification aka Discord ⚠️
30 minutes of my life and nothing gained.
Despite having a Discord account from about six or ten years ago, which for whatever reason no longer exists in their system, I find myself needing to make a new account just to find an update on a group-buy thing of minimal consequence. Why this group cannot post the shipping updates onto their own website I have no idea.
So, no less than twelve instances of "Are you human" clicky, followed by the super fun game called "Unlock the trapezoid and put them in the ocean waves with a stupid background image", followed by two instances of wanting to verify by SMS, and of course an email address verification process.
Did it get created? Maybe, but I cannot access the account because the second time the SMS was requested the system decided that my valid phone number was not a valid phone number, no less than five minutes after having verified their first SMS request with the very number that they texted.
Discord is trash.
