I heavily decreased my usage of Discord when I was lowkey doxxed by a user on a server that I never posted a single ounce of personal information to.
skype > discord
Old Skype, maybe, but then again even old Skype was a buggy horrible mess.
The internet should have just stuck with IRC
Well I am finally ahead of the curve. I mostly stopped using discord after I learned of their horrible privacy practices and braindead statements on e2e encryption.
Long live Matrix!
Matrix works pretty good.
I installed Element yesterday, and the UI is similar enough to Discord that it would probably be easy to make the switch, but who uses Matrix and is there a way to find communities?
Some time ago I was involved with GNOME applications and they use it. I have used Discord only for game chatting. So I guess we all need to create servers for our friends to join.
Well, that's what you get for letting a private company replace and open protocol with a proprietary solution because it's easier to use and has some cute emojis.
I dono what people expected. Discord costs money to develop and run. It was always just a matter of time before it cost money.
