Aah yes, the IPO… The first step towards enshittification.
No, the first step begins before, as the revenue must be as high as possible before the IPO. That’s what happened with Fuckit too.
… y’all mean it’s going to become even more enshittified?
oh baby it hasn’t even gotten started (relatively)
They havent even started to be annoying about nitro yet
Good riddance. I hate that so many communities moved from forums to using Discord. It’s such a ratty little pigeon hole for communications to go and get lost in forever. It’s a shitshow for anything other than instant, live messaging. And so many communities use it as their only real forum. The day that private equity and public investors liquidate the servers and sell off Discord’s IP after their future bankruptcy will be a very happy day.

That will be a glorious day!
Great time to start looking for alternatives. Any suggestions?
Matrix seems like the one with most potential to develop into a 1:1 Discord alternative.
Then you have XMPP, Mattermost, RocketChat, whatever Revolt.chat renamed itself into, etc.That is a spectacularly bad name, lol
CalcKey? FireFish? Developers of Discord alternatives are just a special kind of person. Their efforts are commendable of course.
Which one?
What revolt changed its name to
Had to google it.
Dafuq is that xD
Depends what you use it for. I see people use it for group chats, video calls, and forums, all of which would have different replacements.
IRC
No voice in IRC though
IMHO computers are made for text. As this comment illustrates.😆
That’s fine for some folks, but i game with friends a lot. So far discord is the easiest for that. Been researching alternatives for a bit and might go back Mumble, though
We have a signal group in my game group. Works really well.
Nice, that works fo voice for sure.
Stoat (previously Revolt)
I would like to use now to remind the youth of today of the unending glories of IRC and we must return to it.
No voice, video, or game streaming in IRC though
I’m right there with you. I already hired a guy to make a WordPress plugin for it and also another guy to make an iPhone app. The former is done, the latter is nearly done. I’m adding a feature (as I am the product designer 😜) to do in-line images – IRC sorely needs that capability.
But yeah, both will be BSD, I think… Tho as I think this thru, I really don’t want to facilitate other end vitrification.🤔
If it helps kill the damn thing, excellent.
Welp. If you didnt think it was starting to suck before
Fucking shit
Discord and IPO is like the knight running at the castle clip from Monty Python.
Constantly coming soon, but not arriving.
Until it is suddenly there, while you are unprepared to do anything about it.
“Hey …”
Edging?
We can only hope
This is why I don’t use it often.
