I will never participate in weird internet caste systems

i was stumbling around discord today and had a pretty
sudden & severe realization about discord nitro.

i’ll get to that later.

    what is discord nitro?

discord nitro is a paid subscription service that
discord offers to generate revenue. nitro provides
a few functional perks - larger upload sizes, better
voice quality, etc; and a few aesthetic perks - animated
avatars, cross-server emoji usage, and “super reactions”

this post is mostly about the aesthetic perks. the
things that cost discord exactly nothing and operate
psychologically to make users desire nitro. the arbitrary
boundaries that discord chooses to draw.
