Stop Humam Sakhnini from Becoming CEO of Discord.


Stop Humam Sakhnini from Becoming CEO of Discord.
The Issue
Discord is one of the last true safe havens for gamers, creators, and communities.
In a world where major corporations have taken over platforms like Twitter, Instagram, and countless others, Discord has stood strong — allowing free communication, creativity, and real connection without overwhelming monetization or censorship.
This did not happen by accident.
Discord has thrived because it protected freedom, community, and user-first values.
Now, that is at risk.
The appointment of Humam Sakhnini — a former Vice Chairman at Activision Blizzard — as CEO of Discord threatens everything we have built together.
Activision Blizzard is notorious for:
Abusive workplace scandals
Extreme monetization strategies
Prioritizing profits over people
Destroying once-great communities
Humam Sakhnini was not brought in to protect us.
He was brought in to maximize profit — just like what happened to the platforms we’ve already lost.
If allowed to lead Discord, he will do what corporations have done time and time again:
Shatter communities through aggressive monetization
Erase user freedom
Turn Discord into a cash machine instead of a community space
We cannot let this happen.
We must stand up now.
If we do nothing, Discord will become the next platform we lose — and there will be nowhere left to turn.
We demand that Discord’s Board of Directors reconsider this decision.
We ask that they choose leadership that believes in community over profit, freedom over greed, and people over corporations.
Sign this petition if you believe Discord must remain a platform for its users — not another product sold out to corporate interests.
Together, we can protect our home.
