This was because Skype’s file transfer was Peer-to-peer, so it wasn’t Skype itself hosting the files. While discord is actually hosting the files, which is much more costly.

Well discord could offer P2P option with no limit...

[-] clb92@kbin.social 127 points 1 year ago

But then they can't force you to get Discord Nitro.

[-] hypertown@lemmy.world 22 points 1 year ago

This could be a nitro feature though

[-] jalkasieni@sopuli.xyz 7 points 1 year ago

I’m guessing they don’t do it because it would take about 5min before people have written filesharing bots like the IRC XDCC bots of old.

[-] why_rob_y@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

That's a great idea for Nitro Plus!

But discord supports sending messages to people who are offline. It kind of breaks the paradigm if certain features require full synchronous communication. Maybe supporting p2p transfers during a video / voice chat would work though.

You say it as if not allowing people to send large files at all is somehow better than only allowing it sometimes.

you mean like voice/video chat?

[-] ratamacue@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 1 year ago

Actually yeah. It feels like voice / videos were kind of tacked on. There isn't a really good web based chat tool that doesn't require some sign in and configuration. File transfer isn't like that and people can easily drop links to third party services in any chat.

[-] eatyourglory@feddit.it 8 points 1 year ago

Yeah but then no nitro no money no servers for chatting no discord discord ded :/

[-] Fed@lemdro.id 5 points 1 year ago

That sounds like a potential security risk.
