Yeah, you go ahead & do that, & watch how many people will jump ship to other alternatives while you lose a lot of money & subscriptions, especially when you’ve been hacked before.
People have found other alternatives to TikTok, & they’ll do the same with Discord.
I mean, you’re not wrong, but have you seen what those alternatives were?
i wouldn’t be so optimistic. normies have a tendency to accept quite a lot.
Does there exist an alternative that has both a desktop (WIN/Linux) client and a phone (android/iphone) client?
Matrix
Matrix and Stoat
do you know if stoat’s ios client good enough? last i tried the android one was also very basic.
I don’t use ios and I don’t know what your standard of “good enough” is.
I’ve tried ouy the android one back when it was named Revolt and I though it was on par with Discord from a few years ago before they added in all the stickers and games, so I thought it was “good enough”
Just try it and see
XMPP, Conversations is a Nice Android client.
MSN Messenger for the win!
The same as Discord (IRC with a fancy GUI) but with the fact your data is unconsentionally sent to an intelligence agency for analysis.
I don’t trust discord with what little I formation I’ve gave them so far. Definitely not giving them my ID or a scan of my face.
But they pinky promise the face scan is not facial recognition and that it’s immediately deleted and never leaves your device.
Deleted 👍🏻
matrix and zulip are interesting alternatives
Its Joever
Discord is kill
Uhhhh no thanks. Bye.
Have not used this so I can’t speak to their viability, but there’s also @root
Well, time to dump Discord after I finish school.
I hope for once people would get together and drop Discord so that Discord would have to reverse this policy. So often, we the customers really have the power if we get together and act together. All these social networks are nothing without the contributions of the customers.

As the adage goes, if you’re not paying for it (and often even when you are), you’re not the customer.
We should append this, …" or it is open source"
Of the accounts impacted globally, we have identified approximately 70,000 users that may have had government-ID photos exposed
What about Fractal? It even have a flatpak https://gitlab.gnome.org/World/fractal
Fractal is not multiplatform (i.e. isn’t available on Android and on iOS) and Matrix can be confusing to people not already familiar with it.
And no, a wall of text explaining what Matrix is won’t help since most of Discord’s users are teenagers with a very short attention span that don’t read much (unless they’re forced to by school).
Potential solution, may be controversial.
Just add a vertical video with Minecraft parkour or with CS surf on the bottom and a half naked woman from a freelance platform explaining what it is.
There are also Element and SchildiChat as alternative clients.
is there a practical way to delete all your messages at once?
personally i’d also backup the messages before deleting, this works well https://github.com/Tyrrrz/DiscordChatExporter
undiscord is good.
That’s a no go from here…
