HN is not a monolith, many of us have become extremely sceptical of the tech world and “culture” in recent years despite being part of it.

So you're saying that the more people disagree with you, the more entrenched you become in your position?

That doesn't sound like a healthy way to form opinions.

No, there aren't that many lobbyists, just average Europeans that finished their cup of Flavor-Aid.

Could you elaborate what that culture is supposed to be exactly, and why it should require us to side with Discord here?

The point of GDPR is to defend the user.

Tech companies aren't your friends, they only want your money. What baffles me is people being outraged by this fine like they needed to pay that, not a billion dollar tech company.

It is justified because what Discord didn't implement can harm the user. it can harm YOU.

People easily forget that Internet is for everyone. Even for people that didn't grew with a computer, even for people that are not developer.
