  • Discord has forums built in. I know everyone hates it when I mention it, but there is continuity on Discord and has been for several years now.

    That’s because it’s not exactly a great point. Look, we’re all glad they caught up to 1980’s bbs tech, but it’s behind a login screen. YOU HAVE TO GIVE YOUR PHONE NUMBER TO ACCESS IT.

    Discord had always been a square peg beaten with a hammer to fit in a round hole. Eventually gaining basic features for the things it was never meant to be used for. Forcing people to sell themselves out just to read some documentation on an open source project.














  • The act of what is being done is a remix.

    It’s like comparing Copying vs Plagiarism. There may be a term that adds more context on the how or why the copying is happening. But the act is still copying.

    Copying vs. Plagiarism

    • What’s being done: Reproducing someone else’s work (copying).
    • Why it’s different: Plagiarism involves passing off someone else’s work as one’s own, typically without permission or acknowledgment.
    • Term: Plagiarism

    We may have a new term for the why it’s being done, but what was done is still a remix.


  • I have no idea what you’re on about. The intention of making the song doesn’t matter. So the artist wants more money by releasing remixes of their popular songs. Whether it’s for more money, extra tracks for the fans or bringing in friends or other artists to collaborate. What they are doing is releasing a remix.

    I feel like you’re too hung up on the “why” and ignoring the “what”. Just because someone recently noticed it was happening, doesn’t make it new or something different.

    If you take tracks from a song and add/remove/re-arrange it into a new release. It’s a remix.

    Remix - To recombine (audio tracks or channels from a recording) to produce a new or modified audio recording.

    E: I’ll meet you half way. If someone coins a term for releasing remixes solely for profit, then we can call it that. But it’s still a remix.
