  What’s so good about nitro that people actually pay for it? Genuinely asking.

    If you are into emoticons, you can use custom emoticons of one server on another. If you share files, such as clips, until recently discord allowed only 8mb on free tier. Now it is 25mb, but can get up to 500mb with nitro. Video streaming is limited to 1080p at 30fps, nitro unlocks up to 4k with 60fps.

    Basically allows more bandwidth and storage on their servers, which is understandable I think.

      This actually makes sense. I don’t use any of those features

      Animated emojis are also nitro exclusive. And you can boost “server”, which unlocks more customizations for “servers”.

        Yes hello

        I would also like for you to pay me $20 (your choice of currency)

        After you delete discord please send $20 to my lemmy account.

        So far as I know, they’re not shoving 20 ads in your face on every screen.

        I know they’re far from perfect. Heck they have a forced arbitration clause in their ToS.

        But compared to other services lately, Discord seems to mostly be trying to treat users as customers instead of products for advertisers. I’ll take it, and get some neat conveniences from Discord in turn.

      I have access to all that for free, except file size. If I need to send a large file I have google.

    You get all your emotes cross server and you can upload bigger files + stream in better quality, but i don’t think any of this is really worth it.

    • basxto@discuss.tchncs.de ⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago

      Tbh it’s good if one can do without the pro features. That gives one more freedom to support them or not.

      More servers, profile banners, etc.

      It can be useful. I use it often, so nitro is very helpful.

      Stream quality was worthwhile during pandemic. I participated in quite a few movie/TV nights streaming to a few friends on Discord.

  • IDew@lemm.ee ⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago

    I only have it for bigger upload file size. I send big files surprisingly frequently

    source

    • penquin@lemm.ee ⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago

      Makes sense then if you get genuine use out of it. Reading your comment and other comments, I don’t really use/need any of those features.

    I have the basic $3 one, I just call it my shitposting tax. Longer messages, using emotes in any server and larger files. I use it a lot since my friends haven’t warmed up to Matrix yet, might as well support them while its not total trash

  • CliveRosfield@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago

    Higher file size uploads and streams.

    I mostly just pay for it because I've used it for ages and definitely get more value out of it than the subscription cost. I don't think I use a single nitro feature.

    source

    • penquin@lemm.ee ⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago

      What IS in the nitro? Like what do you get when sub to it?

      source

      • TheChurn@kbin.social ⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago

        They send random gifts some times, usually a code to redeem something in a game I don't play.

        Some super reacts - animated emojis basically.

        Other than that I really couldn't tell you. I don't think the subscription is worth what the subscription gives, but the alternative is the free product gets worse faster, and that would disrupt a lot of communities that I enjoy interacting with.

        Thinking of Discord as a whole, I think it is worth the nitro price. Not in love with the trajectory though.
