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

Do you have an alternative to suggest or are you just here to whine?
-
"But I don't want to eat the moldy cabbage on the ground outside!"
"Okay, do you have an alternative, or are you just gonna whine? Eat up!"

Can anyone with knowledge on business explain why these companies keep going public other than the simple fact of money?
I feel like everytime a company does they go full throttle into making shareholders money and lose sight of their original company. Honestly I assumed discord was already public based on some of their monetary features that are overpriced lol.

What? Its evolving!
Accelerate turned into exelerate!

It’s the path for the startup industry to rewards the venture capitalist investor basically either IPO by going public or M&A by being bought (like instagram by meta).
Here some more info on the different startup stages

It's already pretty shitty to be fair
-
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

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...
