I would like to use now to remind the youth of today of the unending glories of IRC and we must return to it.
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.
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?
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.Matrix is stunningly unintuitive to use, sadly.
Matrix is a protocol with multiple options for front-end clients. If you don’t like Element, for example, you can try Cinny. They both use Matrix but are different apps.
