Gaming chat platform Discord in early talks with banks about public listing

Oh, it can get a lot worse
-
Because I don't care to set up a bot that monitors what is being said while I'm offline. Matrix is actually better, though
-
They've been working on the redesign for awhile now, but the version everyone's used to (Teamspeak 3) still works perfectly fine. TS3 clients can connect to new Teamspeak servers, and new Teamspeak clients can connect to old teamspeak servers, just without the new features like screen share
My group still uses TS3 on a daily basis on a self hosted server

[Buy Turbo to unlock on all servers]

No, not until you embrace open source software. It was always going to be enshittified. Just a matter of time
-
It's free because you're the product
-
Stock buybacks are just more tax-efficient dividends. Both return value to the shareholders, but buybacks only realize the gains for the shareholders that want to sell some stock.
If they were illegal companies would issue more dividends

Ok time for Matrix & XMPP (or even IRC
) -
it's literally just money
-
I used to. It's entirely too easy of a program to use.
-
I've already switched to Linux. The problem I have with this is that all my friends, a Discord server of around 20 people, are not going to be willing to switch. It's been the way we have stayed in contact for the past 5 years.
-
But the problem I keep running into is getting my friends to switch. They're not very tech literate as they came from console gaming. I could try to educate them but the response I usually get is "why would I switch to something that might not work when this already works perfectly fine?" And I can't really argue with it. It's just not even an issue for them.

Man, it's one of the worst UI I ever had the displeasure to use...
-
Skype was terrible and the reason that Discord took off.
-
I think it's less about trusting Discord and more about not giving a shit. It does the thing they want it to do and that's the extent of their consideration. It's the reason why everyone still uses Windows even though it's basically spyware at this point. Talking to my friends about it is like talking to a brick wall and they just check out of the conversation.
-
I came from skype so my bar was already pretty low. I'm not defending Discord, by the way. I've just been using it to talk to my friends for years because they all had Discord and it was convenient.
-
Too many startups go for VC money when they shouldn't. It's a cancer.
If you've managed to bootstrap it, or get some non-vc money, things are growing and doing well, maybe just try to keep growing that way. Your company is fucked the moment you take that VC money.
-
You can customize all that with your own color scheme you get to chose. Which is kinda cool
-
My 4GBs agree. I literally cannot use discord. It takes ridiculous amounts of resource because you are meant to goddamn live in it, not just chat.
