Why are FOSS platforms like Matrix having such a hard time getting users to migrate from Discord? Because of PluralKit.

Literally never heard of it let alone know anyone who cares...

That's really strange, this seems like the sort of Lemmy instance where people would care about accessibility the minute they heard about the issue

I'm a Discord-using LGBT ally, and I don't know anybody who uses this (nor had I heard about it until now). You may be overestimating it's reach / appeal.

You're responding to someone from a different instance. Lemmy is not Discord, it's federated 😉
