Where am I moving my friends group? Revolt is nice but not quite ready for primetime / getting a rewrite, and I've always been iffy about matrix. Is a signal group chat literally where we're heading to!?

There guess the chat app.
Hey bruh u wanna buy nitro bruh. It's the new shit bruh
What the fuck does Nitro even do, other than give you some useless emoji?
Increased file attachment sizes (10->50->100MB depending on tier, I think).
Cross post emojis from any server you are on.
Cross post stickers from any server you are on.
Higher maximum server count.
One free server boost.
Probably a couple more vanity shit. Yep, entirely laughable business model.
The different tiers are 50mb for basic and 500mb for the full.
The full one also includes:
-
Stream video in 4k at 60fps
-
2 free boosts and 30% off all boosts
-
Custom profile per server(different name, avatar, etc. for each of if you want)
-
200 server limit
-
4000 character message limit
-
Custom entry sound(and custom sounds everywhere)
-
3x free nitro for two weeks that you can gift to people
-
Tons of profile/avatar perks including animated banners, profiles, permanent quest rewards, badges, etc.
-
There's also some discount in their shop.
I like it, it’s just extra stuff and nothing essential.
It’d suck a lot more if they gated necessary features behind a paywall

Does revolt have screen share with audio? What about noise filter?
Once Discord enshittifies, lazy devs won't be able to say "follow our Discord for updates!" anymore.
I’m a lazy dev and want to get ahead of this, where should I post my updates?
...bluesky?
Back in ye olden days you’d have your own website, a blog, or maybe a forum. It was indexable on Google and anyone could see and interact with your updates. If not for that there’s always steam.
Pfft we got rid of that yonks ago, now you just have to have an AI rewrite your documentation as a million shitty tutorials that are all search-engine optimised on different websites and hope the user finds one semi-legible.
It's a piece of piss, literally.
rss?
On whatever platform(s) you sell your games. The key is not expecting someone to sign up for a different service for your updates.
Or just have an open forum/place where you don't need an account to get into some walled off bullshit.
Sure. But the costs for implementing such a thing are certainly above simply using the tools on the platform on which the dev has decided to release their work. If they disagree, don't release it there.
This idea that the consumer should do something additional besides giving you money is a nonstarter.

Hopefully they move to element
Hopefully they just post updates on the platforms they sell their games on. I shouldn't need to sign up for anything else.
Anyone remember websites and RSS? Those were the days.
Why does everything have to get shovelled into someone's walled garden...
(Speaking about updates and notifications here, not discussions.)
It's the walled garden thing that gets me. At some point, people got complacent. I'm 100% confident that there is an entire swath of the population which has never considered that Discord is a corporate entity with corporate interests. We made open standards for a reason.
Hard agree. Mindsets stuck in 2005 or before when cool and useful stuff was, just, free online. We were such summer children then.
Anyone still like that obviously shouldn't be in charge of anything sharp or dangerous...
But remember: the design and initial implementation of the internet was paid for by the populace. It is supposed to be filled with cool and useful, free stuff.
Corporate interests and "web 2.0" have turned it into a weird hellscape of misinformation and targeted advertising. It was not designed for it.
