#discord IS LITERALLY THE PROBLEM!
It's worse than any #IRC, #Mumble or even the old #TeamSpeak & #Skype for that matter.
It combines the disadvantages of #Forum, #paywalled #documentation, #chat and #voicechat with 0 redeeming qualities (unlike #Zulip & Mumble & #XMPP+#OMEMO) it's just an #InformationBlackhole!
I'm shure fecking #dread has better moderation and I'd rather use #MicrosoftTeams + #Slack cuz those at least have proper #moderation tools.
Case in point: I'd rather #SelfHost all my comms infrastructure than to ever use something like Discord or any other #GDPR-violating SaaS that is just enshittification.
I'd rather recommend people to instead choose a tool that does everything but horrible to go with multiple smaller & good tools
- Public Chat? IRC!
- Group Voicechat? Mumble.
- #Documentation? #mkDocs-material.
- 1:1 Chats? XMPP+OMEMO.
- E2EE Group Chats? #deltaChat.
- E2EE Calls? #WebCall.
- Filehosting? #IPFS, #BitTorrent, oshi.at, etc. ...
- …
