Stop doing Discord
- capitalists were not supposed to own your community
- Years of hanging out yet no real-world use found for sending your private data to be sold to advertisers
- Wanted to leak private data anyway for a laugh? We had a tool for that; it was called "turning off ublock origin"
- "Yes please search our chat archive for answers to your question. it will certainly remain up forever and not get deleted when the shareholders realize it's not profitable" statements dreamed up by the utterly deranged
Look at what discord admins have been demanding your respect for all this time:
- task manager screenshot, discord using 97% of CPU
- discord making too many automated requests and getting throttled
- crash screenshot
"3rd-party client? lifetime ban"
They have played us for absolute fools
Based on this image macro
Is Revolt chat worth checking out? Just the fact that its open source makes it really appealing.
I'm all down for Discord being the next service people flee from, the enshittification has really been catching up.
I personally believe in Matrix long-term though I know people who like Revolt.
Revolt is fine. Matrix is also fine. They're not great alternatives yet.
It's pretty quiet last time I checked. Divolt is a privately hosted version used by Lemmy's freemedia community and I honestly think it has more users.
