@gamingonlinux the thing is, people do this not because they want to annoy people, but to make them engage with the community, stick to the project, basically do marketing for their product, and I see that as entirely legitimate.
It is just so sad that there is no better alternative to discord for these kinds of things. #Discord is so crazy good at them, tbh I would pay even a bit of respect to "them", for making it so good, while not enshittificating it (yet)
