The cost is worth the extra quality when working with others over screenshare etc. The community management features are useful. A large portion of my workflow is aided by discord and GitHub, both of whi h I pay for premium features. I don't expect them to provide these services for free considering the huge boost they give to productivity. Expecting them to be free is naive. permalink fedilink source parent [–] pycorax@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago* I would if their features worked consistently for me. If I'm paying a monthly subscription, the app better not have major bugs in the key features I use. With my hardware configuration, screensharing is a blurry stuttery mess, their mobile app is a complete shitshow that can't even layout elements correctly or display the correct channel without having to restart the app every few seconds. It doesn't help that their support seems to be ignoring reports of these issues from people. permalink fedilink source parent [–] deweydecibel@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago There's a difference between "offer" and "push". permalink fedilink source parent [–] OsrsNeedsF2P@lemmy.ml 0 points 2 years ago (1 child) laughs in Matrix permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] paraphrand@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago https://shop.matrix.org/ permalink fedilink source parent
