> They will move on and take a blatant lie and accept it. People are on places where many other people are. They know that if they move away from Discord, they will miss out a lot. This affects them, too, resulting in them staying. That's the main reason they stay. The other reason is that far too many people don't care at all about their privacy getting violated. "I have nothing to hide", they say. Words that I am very allergic to since privacy has absolutely nothing to do with hiding anything.

> People are on places where many other people are More on that idea here: [Network effect](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_effect#Web_sites) It's a reason so many big tech companies *hate* interoperability. Without interoperability you get locked into their system. Then they can enshittify their service to extreme levels, and you are trapped. Unfortunately there is a harmful incentive structure. The more abusive a service is, the more money it makes from its malicious but profitable aspects which we all know. Meanwhile less harmful services struggle because they lack the monetization stream.
