A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Well, this seems like powerful motivation for me to eventually find a free open source positive alternative to Discord, while ignoring Discord in the meantime. I would love to bypass their enshittification phase entirely.

There's Matrix/Element and now Revolt

[–] cultsuperstar@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

Revolt is one, and the app is basically a clone of Discord.

It's very new, but that's one. Spacebar was one but seems to be stuck in limbo. Then yeah there's Revolt I guess.

@Nero if it's from the same dev as Nertivia, I wouldn't trust them

Maybe this is a sign people need to stop expecting everything on the Internet to be free?

If you’re selling my data, it’s not free
