Discord is over

Posted by JDYJohansson - October 8th, 2024

Hey everyone... It appears, Discord has eventually got blocked in Russia. As well as X, Patreon, and many, many other apps and websites that are legal in your countries. For years I've been using VPN to show my art on X, and it seems now Discord is included. It was quite nice spending time there, chatting with people, but it seems the more this madness in politics happen, the farther we get from other people... but, I will still post stuff on Newgrounds despite anything, as I believe in your support. Thank you for being here with me... <3

I have to preface this with I have no complete list of services banned in the Russian Federation at the time of writing. Sorry if I recommend an alternative that is also banned.

Twitter/"X" had been steadily losing favor anyway. I'd recommend Mastodon instead. ( https://mastodon.social/about )
It's less popular than Twitter/"X"/"Xwitter", but reportedly it's very good for getting in touch with other artists. And... It's not run by a crazy-person. :)

Ko-Fi & commissions might serve as a way to generate income without Patreon - although it's not a replacement. Subscribestar.adult might work as a replacement, but I'm not sure how your audience would take that move. Since most people who have actual money to spend are adults, it might go better than you might expect.

Depending on how your community is structured, other voice over IP services might work out just fine. (People have successfully organized millions of 40 player raid parties in WoW long before Discord came along...)

Oh thank you! BTW instead of Patreon we can still use Boosty. It's an alternative that lets PayPal users pay us with a little commission, but the payment goes only in one direction, without getting it back

Not all we need is for Instagram to be blocked in Kenya and the holy trinity is complete.

Wtf .

JDYJohansson 2024-10-08 16:01:45

Yeah, sadly nor government nor apps themselves are with us. We are already limited in many things on internet, and they say this isn't enough??
