Stop doing Discord
- capitalists were not supposed to own your community
- Years of hanging out yet no real-world use found for sending your private data to be sold to advertisers
- Wanted to leak private data anyway for a laugh? We had a tool for that; it was called "turning off ublock origin"
- "Yes please search our chat archive for answers to your question. it will certainly remain up forever and not get deleted when the shareholders realize it's not profitable" statements dreamed up by the utterly deranged
Look at what discord admins have been demanding your respect for all this time:
- task manager screenshot, discord using 97% of CPU
- discord making too many automated requests and getting throttled
- crash screenshot
"3rd-party client? lifetime ban"
They have played us for absolute fools

I get that Discord isn't great, but really I don't mind too much. It's used for communication for streamers I moderate for, and streams I'm just a viewer of to provide updates. Became friends with fellow mods talking there, and I call my girlfriend on there so we can chat while watching things together. I guess like all social media it depends what you share on it. If there was a FOSS alternative that people actually used I would be there, but there isn't.
