>>3 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.
