So keep fighting the corporate entity and keep making things worse by supporting them?
I don't know what else to tell you. You have no control, so you get what you deserve by continuing to use it. And when you continue to use it, it keeps other people thinking they need to use it, and the pain continues. Its a classic it hurts when I do this, so the answer is "stop doing that".
Do you really need discord to be your chat server?
So to actually offer advice if you are determined to have a discord like experience: you could try Fluxer and if they implement the same restrictions you could try self hosting it.
Editing to add: Fluxer.app as the url.
I've already moved my gaming group to Matrix. But, and this might shock you, not every server I'm a member of consists entirely of myself and my close friends.
Sure. And so it doesnt really matter then.
