Discord
Discord is a voice, video, and text communication service to talk and hang out with your friends and communities.
The second they hit IPO, jump ship and delete your accounts. That's the only language they understand, don't wait for things to get shit, because that means they've already run out of value to extract.
Does TS still let you install a server on linux and have as many seats as you want? I had an unlimited TS2 server back in the day. What is the best (read easiest for general users) alternatives to Discord?
I already hate discord, it's always screwed up and already pretty rotted out with PE-class features. Once my friends are ready, I'm down to try alternatives.
Oh boy, Reddit 2.
For me, this would probably be the final nail in the coffin, depending on how this pans out. I don't see any good from investors having a say in what happens to Discord on a bigger scale. It would probably mean they'd pressure Discord into 3rd party ads and/or selling user data, for example.
Does anyone know an alternative to Discord for building communities? There's https://revolt.chat/ which seems centralized, and https://matrix.org/ which is decentralized, but they seem mostly for chatting with friends. I'm looking for an alternative for game devs, publishers, artists and content creators to build their own communities.
