thats why right wingers love FB as well and over reddit, to. that way they can delete comments control things without having the discord admins hovering over them.
All it took for me is discord going down for a couple hours a couple of weeks ago. Now about half my friends went to it. All it will take is a small push or down time and they will need their fix somehow lol.
Everyone keeps recommending Revolt but I tried it last week and it’s janky as hell and the voice chat just straight up didn’t work. This wasn’t just me, too. Our whole group tried it and gave up.
Mastodon isn’t really a replacement for discord though.
True. Matrix is more for that. Or possibly SimpleX.
good luck trying to get family and friends on that lol
My mother and sister is on my homeserver.
Also my SO.
And my every friend.
And we use Jitsi for calls during gaming or whatnot.
jitsi, interesting…
Oh, i ditch family and friends who dont respect my personal data. Though its signal primary for me
yeah, I get it. I told people one year for my bday to download the app for me to get most of my circle on it. most did haha
Discord is not really intended for “friends and families”, it’s for communities.
It’s not really for communities either, it’s for locking communities into a corporate platform.
…so it’s not for communities, it’s for communities…?
It’s not for the communities, it’s for the shareholders-to-come.
Who are the shareholders going to exploit then?
Employees and customers, just like every corporation ever.

Unfortunately there’s not really anything that comes close to Discord.
Revolt is the closest, as it’s open source and self-hostable but still lacks many of the features and isn’t federated.
Element is almost identical.

Not even close.
I only used it once a while ago. What doesn’t it do that Discord does that you also need?
Scan your system for running processes 😅
Most everything. It’s also very complicated to use and slow as shit. You should try actually using it and find out for yourself.

Well that lines up with what I said.
SimpleX doesn’t even have a desktop client.IT DO! Discord is mostly used for gaming.I do believe it does have a desktop client.
It is not there yet IMHO hard to advise it as singal replacement for now
I think this time next year tho…
It DO! Which one am I mixing it up with then? Briar?
Possibly. Briar is mobile only as far as i know
Nope, Briar has one as well.
