Discord isn’t exactly known for generous file-sharing limits, still, the messaging app offered a 25MB limit to free users. The company has now updated its support page to reflect the upload limit for free users has been lowered to 10MB.

I was a member of a number of groups in a larger gaming community most of which migrated from Reddit/Mumble to Discord. It destroyed the quality and accessibility of written content and lore and I wish it had never happened. Then again, we can't go back to reddit at this point either.

Guess I'll be posting my screenshots in 640x480 from now on!

I'd be down if Discord offered optional/default compression for images/videos. Yeah maybe my photos are 10 MB each, but with a slight quality loss they can get under 1 MB. Telegram does it well.

I guess locking basic features behind a paywall didn't work for them after all, eh?

yknow, i would like to see reported figures as to why discord isn't actually able to host file sizes over a certain size...

The problem is discord never deletes files, no matter how old they are. So they have a perpetually growing storage need
