      I tried signing up yesterday but kept getting a registration error, im guessing I wasn’t the only one with that idea, and their servers got strained

    Looking forward to Discord’s enshittification. I’m annoyed at how many people expect you to use this insecure platform.

      I can’t stand the fact that discord is used as a forum for many open source projects.

      It’s horrible, it weights a lot, it’s not easily searchable and it’s completely excluded from Google search results. Bring back forums!

    leaving reddit was easy. i only had to move myself.

    leaving discord will be almost impossible, as I’ll have to move a dozen or so normies whom it took years getting them onto discord in the first place.

    Mumble for voice chat. (It already beats Discord in that department.) A server can be self-hosted, or rented for dirt cheap.

    Matrix is getting better all the time, and although it won’t replace all of Discord’s features today, it is catching up. I already use it for text chat, and wouldn’t be surprised if it could take over for video, screen share, etc. in the next year or so.

    Tip for people wanting to try Matrix now: Consider disabling encryption on your Discord replacement rooms until Matrix 2.0 is fully released, to avoid occasional frustrating glitches. That won’t be a loss coming from Discord, which doesn’t have end-to-end encryption anyway.

    Discords ui and feature popups are kinda annoying and all, people apparently do not appreciate what they give us for free.

    Teamspeak had stagnated from being top dog for so long.

    People are really going to miss the Discord of today when you start getting banner ads flashing at the bottom of the screen or limited server slots.

    Got my fingers crossed the Discord IPO will be an absolute shitshow and no one is prepared to sink money into an already enshittified app.

      Yes, people are very stupid if they invest in such a shitty platform. They’re going to lose all of their money.
