I know interested people don't like to talk about it...but we, the people, should really be moving away from Discord. A bucket of water doesn't fix a burning house, ya know?
Moving away from Discord can mean you need to stop interacting with the community using it. My personal examples are: Tilt5, Makera, Turbo Sliders. In the these cases Discord is also the way to access support for something you've paid for.
Getting thise communities to move into something open (e.g. Matrix) can be a tall order.
I get your point, but that's exactly what I do. When someone say "just use discord", I drop their product/service/etc. and move on. I'm not saying everyone else should do that, but my life is too short for "support" via Discord
It's a hostage situation they're doing like any proprietary social network. You want to encourage people to move away from them, but then you need to interact with those same people in order to do that.
Do you game with friends? If so, what do you use instead of discord?
Yeah, I text and call them
An end to end encrypted chat app that supports group chats and calls.
