==IPO and "enshitification"==

So, there's been news about Discord planning on doing an IPO. Chances are that the platform will be facing changes similar to that of Reddit, notably killing 3rd party and legacy client access to the platform. This IPO stunt also will bring with it ads. Keep a close eye on news surrounding the platform as time goes on, and make sure to post any new info you find to this topic if you do not plan on integrating it into the article itself.

This is absolutely not going to be a pretty state for the platform, which will be bringing in user traffic to the wiki, and specifically this article, so please also polish the article in other areas as well! [[User:JamesTDG|JamesTDG]] ([[User talk:JamesTDG|talk]]) 22:35, 31 March 2025 (UTC)

:Update: One of the founders of Discord left in April and was replaced by the former Vice Chairman of [[Activision Blizzard]] and former president of King (Candy Crush).

:A bit that stuck out to me:

:"Fanning expectations of Discord going public soon and looking different in the future, Discord co-founder and CEO Jason Citron left in April. '''His replacement, Humam Sakhnini, has experience leading public companies, like Activision Blizzard.''' When Citron announced his departure in April, GamesBeat asked him if Discord was going public. Citron claimed there were 'no specific plans' but added that 'hiring someone like Humam is a step in that direction.'"

:The article is largely about Discord's co-founder, Stanislav Vishnevskiy, expressing concerns with enshittification. However, the new CEO being a former high-up executive from ''two'' exploitative game companies doesn't exactly instill confidence in me. Act-Blizz is quite infamous for doing a lot of anti-consumer practices- and remember that Discord was far from perfect before the change in leadership.

:I don't think the linked article is relevant enough to reference in this wiki article, but it contains some notable updates on the situation. [[User:Vindicator4021|- V (Vindicator4021)]] ([[User talk:Vindicator4021|talk]]) 23:57, 24 June 2025 (UTC)
