"I wish all my friends would leave discord and go to an alternative chat platform"

The monkey paw curls and all your friends move to MS Teams.

Slack! ๐Ÿ˜ฑ

[โ€“] Auth@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago

I could live with all my friends using slack

what practical alternatives are out there? every gaming and streaming community seems to use discord, but i hate it on the basis of it being an enshittified, proprietary walled garden.

https://stoat.chat/ is fully just discord but FOSS

Edit:their GitHub page

[โ€“] EncryptKeeper@lemmy.world 8 points 6 days ago

This will not take off until their native apps release and support self hosted rooms.

Is this the 3rd name change? or the 2nd?

[โ€“] gwl@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 5 days ago (2 children)

The first. They've only changed name once.

Cause Revolut BANK sued their ass

[โ€“] billwashere@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago

Revolt != Revolut

Silly lawyers

[โ€“] AtHeartEngineer@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago

Ahh interesting, thanks for the learning

[โ€“] isVeryLoud@lemmy.ca 5 points 6 days ago

None. Closest is Matrix, and it sucks for that purpose because it's more like Slack.

[โ€“] Dojan@pawb.social 9 points 5 days ago

Yes, finally! Iโ€™m ready for this shitty platform to fucking die already.

[โ€“] desmosthenes@lemmy.world 8 points 5 days ago

let the enshittification continue

[โ€“] SaraTonin@lemmy.world 12 points 6 days ago (1 children)

This news comes immediately after they floated the idea of embedding AI, you say?

[โ€“] gwl@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 6 days ago

Pretty much immediately after yeah

[โ€“] Zen_Shinobi@lemmy.world 9 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Well this gives me time to start my own Mumble server now

[โ€“] ClydapusGotwald@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago

I ran one off a raspberry pi for years before we switched to discord. It just worked for voice chat.

[โ€“] rageagainstmachines@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago

I didn't think Discord could get any worse!
