“I am legit probably going to close my servers and delete my account after all this,”
Oh by gods just fucking do it! All year I’ve had friends say shit like this, but then it turns out me and one friend of mine were the only ones with the balls to do it.
We set up a Matrix server for everyone, but then the excuses come rolling in, and they’re still going “I will close down my Discord account…! If it gets any worse…”
Edit: anyway, they’re not my friends anymore. I had hoped they were better people. They certainly talk like better people.
And Matrix isn’t the only option out there
and good ole IRC
Fluxer is still behind on Matrix with clients like Sable.
Sable used to be behind on Fluxer, but Sable made a lot of updates over the months, and Fluxer is more or less currently focusing entirely on the mobile app, while missing some rather important key features, like Federation and E2EE for private chats.
Fluxer is, however, far more easy to set up a self hosted server with. You cna get it done within an hour.
Good list, didn’t know about armada yet. Will add one more: https://www.gamevox.com/
Perhaps open source projects should stop using it as a replacement for forums
Good. Fuck it off
It also says that 90 percent of Discord users won’t have to bother with age verification thanks to its age estimation system.
If you believe this…
90% of the reason I’m still on discord is that’s where my oldschool RuneScape clan is
My friend group moved to Steam groups, which… Isn’t a great replacement.
I deleted my 11 year old account after the first shitstorm. I’m happier now. Discord fucking sucks.
I quit discord over this a long time ago. I am not coming back.
Cool. Good for them. Hope they die.
I don’t see many people mention Osmium. Does anyone have any experience with it?
Never even heard of it.
I like the element. So pretty. So inert!
I deleted discord when they introduced this plan the first time. Not like it was going to go away, magically, no, it was always going to happen.
Don’t need it
Oh please! you only need 3 disenfranchised users to write such article. 99% of people just talk and never walk the walk.
You know how many millions of people are using discords daily. Some servers have millions of subscribers and many have hundreds of thousands, where do you think those people will migrate to.
Discord will be just fine! I know people who spend all their free time on it.
