Unfortunately, "user login" is an expensive cesspit of failure.
Discourse would probably be doing better if they actually ran a login provider rather than outsourcing it all.
Honestly I’m rather enjoying everybody telling me they know my users better than I do. I polled pretty extensively and got a good amount of non power user and power user responses.
As always: nothing.
When Discord enshittifies, all your data will go down the drain. Or, if you disappear, all the user data goes down the drain even though Discord will continue to exist.
But, hey, logins are easy and nobody needs to learn anything new.
And so it goes ...
Do not assume the worst of posters, some of us are just as smart as you I promise, it isn’t fair to assume I had no plans :).
I will apologize directly to you for my assumptions being incorrect. It is unfair for me to paint everyone with the same brush.
However, sadly, you are the first person I have had to apologize to for this.
Nobody else I have ever interacted with has anything remotely resembling a plan for leaving Discord.
