minus-squarePositiveNoise@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up3·2 years agoWell, this seems like powerful motivation for me to eventually find a free open source positive alternative to Discord, while ignoring Discord in the meantime. I would love to bypass their enshittification phase entirely.
minus-squarekingthrillgore@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up5·2 years agoThere’s Matrix/Element and now Revolt
minus-squarecultsuperstar@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up2·2 years agoRevolt is one, and the app is basically a clone of Discord.

minus-squarePositiveNoise@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up1·2 years agoI’ll check out revolt.chat. Thanks for the suggestion!
