This is completely counter productive to growing Lemmy. I absolutely despise discord. Look at the network traffic it generates and tell me wtf they are doing. They won't tell you. Their business model will leave you completely dumbfounded as to how they exist. Everything shared on the platform is lost in a black hole unavailable to the outside world and everything shared is a privacy nightmare. Posting this, pinning it here, and locking it is one of the biggest trolls possible. It pisses me off every time I log in. "Everyone else does it" is the excuse of idiots. Discord makes absolutely no sense to anyone that actually cares to look into it, read the user agreement, and ask sane questions about what they are doing.

Fucking hell, this again.

Listen, you people need to realize a lot of people are here on Lemmy because Reddit screwed them over, not because Lemmy is open source or less of a privacy issue or whatever your reasons for using it are.

So you hate Discord. That's fine, you're allowed to! But pitching a fit because everyone else doesn't hate it isn't gonna convince anyone to stop using it.

I think at the very least we could have an open source alternative along with the discord. No reason to completely shutdown the discord.

Moderation tools are in progress, so probably not good for now: https://trello.com/b/4e2O7tge/revolt-roadmap

It has moderation tools already. They're upgrading and expanding them to be more granular per user feedback.

They're not absent as your comment leads one to believe.

Thanks for clarifying!

I just mentioned it because I know LW staff wanted extended moderation tools

matrix.org

I've been using it for a very long time now. (Mostly) works really well.
