They should've never increased the size to 25MB. Now everyone is mad they can't upload files larger than 10MB, instead of being happy that Discord allows free file sharing up to 10MB.
That's why you need to keep free product features and small and useless as possible; people will happily take improvements but complain to hell and back if you accidentally overcommit.
Meanwhile most Lemmy servers have an upload limit of what, a megabyte?
Most Lemmy servers don't relentlessly track and sell everything you do though. Discord makes way more money off your data than it costs them to host.
Lemmy servers are radical open, everything short of your IP address is accessible over the activitypub protocol.
They're not selling it, it's free.
