Discord was already succumbing to enshitification. Now with their intention to be owned by Wall Street, that trajectory will certainly accelerate at warp speed once the change of hands happens.

Anyone already get ahead of this and find a solid alternative?

Right now I’m on the fence between Element for Matrix, and Revolt. Both seem to have their pros and cons and I can’t find a clear “winner”.

    Why would an optional feature be a deal breaker?

    It also seems like an issue that could be easily solved by whitelisting.

      Yes, which is good, but the lack of federation is a deal-breaker.

      The federation itself is a deal breaker

      Why would an optional feature be a deal breaker?

      Because the person they’re responding to said the lack of the optional feature was a deal breaker for them on a different piece of software.

        I’m might be being dense but… Still: why would an optional feature be a dealbreaker? You just restated, you didn’t address the confusing logic.

          Go ask the actual person who said it was a deal breaker for them, I can’t explain it more simply than I have.
