seriously i've been using discord since 2015, and the moment they added nitro was when it was over
why would i want to pay for features i could use for free on xmpp??
IRC doesn't come bundled with VoIP, video, screensharing, emotes, etc.
As I said, the only project I'm aware of that is similar to discord in operation and functionality is Revolt, maybe some Matrix client.
It's the Candy Crush Saga 'King'
The one that tried to individually trademark every word of Candy Crush Saga and harrased indie games with it
Nr2003 has a mod for voice chat that is more or less teamspeak.
Native voice chat that ships with the game, I've never found one that isn't shit.
Also it's dying in June, Microsoft confirmed they are pulling the plug in June
Now ..if someone gets a hold of the code or something similar and reverse engineers it into something workable...I'll back that project
Wait does it?
Until around 2015 you could theoretically connect to a twitch chat via an IRC client until they closed that loophole

Evacuate immediately
I know emoji reactions are only on certain instances too
Did I miss anything?
Remember the accusations that Kotaku platformed? The Gigaleak III has something that gives them credibility.

That the guy still has hands at all is a catastrophic failure of justice.
get your shitty joke outta here.
Pretty sure it went from bad to bad.
Humam Sakhnini is going to accelerate the enshittification of Discord. Discord is a pig to be sold to the market and we the users are the feed in the pig trough.
There needs to be a replacement to Discord, right now.
What now?
There are guides, if it helps.
Or at the very least fired before some equally braindead idiots let them into a position of power.
wanna start working on an ATProto alternative so we don't have to use TeamSpeak or pay for Nintendo's game chat?
Time to switch to Revolt I guess.
I knew them trying to go public would be a bad idea FIRST gunshot out the gate and they hire him.
Any Plan Bs yet?

It's really good to know that the server code is also free and open source software
That means they will care more about bundles that cost 2000+ points than their app.
so yeah matrix. it's got a bunch of stuff discord doesn't; my main complaint is how slow and inefficient it is: it is really bad for big rooms

He’s literally the worst of the worst and is as bad as Elon running Twitter.
God dammit I never get any luck with a good social media or platform Without some assholes ruining it.
not to mention By the looks of his appearance, he looks like a fucking real life quagmire.
> Advertising
> Microtransactions
FUCK
just like my thoughts (i am going to violently explode the ceo of activision for what they did to cash banooca)
This easily could set the bases for a potential buyout from Microsoft, especially now that Skype is set to die next month and Teams has been a failure on the consumer market.
Migration sucks, but what will happen is we all just resettle over a 2-3 year period and then get another 5-10 years of 'good' before the cycle repeats.
Normal people use Discord to keep in contact with people they meet through third spaces.
It's MSN Messenger or Skype before their enshttification, not a forum or a marketplace of ideas.
I've been trying to switch to Lemmy ever since.
Quests and the Item Shop of customizable stuff for your profile
This implies something MORE.
Hence my cursing into the void.
Jason tried to put NFTs and generative AI in Discord and that didn't go anywhere
That's my opinion good day ✋️🫠🤚
Ps. They can go to hell
Is probably giving it too much credit
(Hell even if it is a real person techbro, I still wouldn't give them the benefit of the doubt)
I personally think that discord could become more mainstream instead of this niche platform in order to generate growth.
Vcs cost $10
Typing costs one cent each letter
Picture uploads are $50
File uploads are $100
START THAT COUNTDOWN BOYS!
