I share my thoughts on what’s happening with Discord and other chat platforms that might be considered.

    discord was always kind of shit; we definitely didn’t need another blackbox in communications back in 2015.

    would love it if people moved away to something like stoat (can’t wholeheartedly recommend element / matrix right now), unfortunately I don’t see it happening at any large scale, and maybe that’s not the end of the world.

    many of us made a similar move away from reddit to lemmy and other activitypub-powered aggregators back in 2023. it’s small and niche but pretty lovely? we generally have pleasant experiences here.

    sort of apples to oranges but maybe the same can be true for people who want to move away from discord for ideological reasons.
