i know i'll make a discord alternative that copies all the bad design decisions that everyone was used to (closed source, service owned server, opaque "privacy", etc) and shill it to people because "we aren't requiring photo id to verify ages so we aren't evil!"
- 40 different groups of people

the internet is saved yet again.

Worst part is, most of those Discord copycats don't even have the "good" features of Discord (functioning VC, functioning streaming) totally down, so everyone will just stay on Discord anyways.

And?

I'm tired of seeing videos about new discord alternatives being hyped up, looking inside seeing garbage, no mention of real alternatives (irc, xmpp, matrix, etc) and all the bots cheering. It's just exausting. I don't want to care enough to calcify this distain enough to make a blog post, let alone a video. So it was this or a journal entry and I chose this.

Even if a better "discord" (feature wise) existed, it still would be fighting uphill against discord's real killer feature, being the default place communities exist. Having the people people want to talk with. This fracturization doesn't hurt the discord monopoly, it just makes the real alternative space suffer by muddying the water.

it does require you to doxx your face or id or phone now, without letting "just access" to sfw rooms ?
