I ditched Discord a few weeks ago. I moved to Matrix!
Not to be discouraging, but i managed to quit discord for a few months, but i returned again, turns out many projects, even open source, use discord for discussion only
So why not encourage them to move to the Matrix?
what is this matrix you speak of?
The Lemmy of chat apps but not there yet for video/screen share for multi person rooms
Interesting, I’ll give it a go
Thanks. Going to check it out now
Voice channels work perfectly! I’m waiting for screen sharing.
It’s already implemented 😎
Wow, that was fast! What else is still missing ?
Push to talk or voice activation would be good
Matrix is great, reminds me of a more secure discord. At least this one can be bothered to even try implementing end to end encryption
codes a desktop OS specific program coded in C just to spite you
To be honest I absolutely hate everything being a browser app.
There’s really no reason to be mad at them in this particular instance. Their client is Chromium-based (Electron) so they will optimize their new features for that engine first. There’s probably less than 5% users who Discord from browser, let alone Firefox, and I think I’m being generous with that number. Additionally, some things are harder to implement (or even impossible) in native web rather than Electron, that has all the NodeJS integrations.

There are dozens of us! Dozens!
element / matrix instead
“Press THIS button if you want to enter anyway”.
I think I need to fill a patent for this idea, since it’s brand new, fresh and nobody has ever heard about it…
There is FOSS wrapper for discord called webcord, if you have to use discord but want a bit more privacy.
3rd party apps tend to trigger discords sussy user detection and force you to add phone number
Webcord is hardly a 3rd party app. It’s essentially just a specialized web browser for the discord site.
To blacklist your number and ban you?
To monetize you sideways.
(I’m saying this because once upon a time I had cloned discord on my phone by installing the same apk with a letter changed (com.discore) and it thought I was using a 3rd party app or something. They asked for a number, gave me access to my account for about 5mins (good thing I thought of backing up my account and my friend IDs) and banned me. They didn’t mention why, just some default message about spam. I did it again since I didn’t know what I did wrong, another number down the drain. I haven’t checked if they are still blacklisted.)
Eventually I can see discord discontinuing their web client to push you users into installing their spyware.
They already have Windows on your machine. What more can they get from you with Discord?
Windows is NSA, discord is CCP
I am a Linux master race user. I don’t use Windows.
I bet you don’t install discords spyware on your Linux box. Or maybe you do and you’re whole pontification is moot.
I said 'fuck you" to Slack for similar reasons. Going to same the same to Discord now.
Because firefox doesn’t support it? Don’t see why it’s their fault
They implemented a feature that is only available in Chromium and not part of the web standards yet. It’s no different than websites that would only work on IE 20 years ago because of some proprietary Microsoft thing.
Except it’s not proprietary, and presumably there’s no other way to do it in the browser, so did discord really have a choice other than not implementing said feature?
On top of that, their desktop app uses essentially the same website in an internal browser, so unless they handicap themselves by not implementing anything firefox can’t support, I still don’t see how it’s their fault
I wish I could say fuck you to slack. Unfortunately, my office relies on it.
I tried to use lyft on my computer yesterday to download a receipt for my expense report, it didn’t let me, kept telling me to download the Android app…
Everyone wants to force you to download their app now so they can collect your data, shove notifications down your throat, and push ads.
In the age of the internet, your attention is the most valuable thing a business can have and it costs them virtually nothing to harass you into giving it to them because people have no spine and won’t hold it against them.
such a discord
Looks like they’re prepping you for browser drm lol. Go decentralized and get off discord.
