Gaming chat platform Discord in early talks with banks about public listing
-
I guess I'll go back to matrix? I wish it was a little more polished
-
Seeing how well Reddit did in its IPO, it seems that this type of closed platforms keep people captive enough not to look elsewhere and bank on it. Investment wise that seems like a buy, unfortunately.

God fucking damnit can we just have one thing???
-
Its OK when I've used it but I generally stick to text
-
Every time something goes public it turns into shit. Every single time.
-
This is bad news for discord users. Making it a public company means that all their data will be up for sale when the company goes under

I've been wanting a replacement for ages now. The problem is that Discord does everything it does very well (with a few exceptions), way better than any of its competitors. It's incredibly hard to replace, because no other product really matches it in any category. Cost, ease of use, feature set, cross-app API support... Nobody else comes close; even if you paid a ton of money for premium services to replace Discord, you're still likely going to downgrade your overall experience.
I really want to see more competition in this space.

Nooo, enshitification. I've only recently stared using it.
What do we use instead? Is Matrix the only option?

I knew this day would come [gently pats 15 year old mumble server].
-
I may have to go back to IRC, hell even running my own fucking server
-
I guess it's time for TeamSpeak to make a comeback
-
Oh no, its over. Discord going to become unbearable in a few years tops.
-
saving this for later, thanks
-
For a private voice group, could you use something like mumble? It's still out there, doing voice well.

"No. Fuck you. Pay me. Now pay me more. Now enjoy ads. Pay me again. We're now introducing fees associated with the privilege of paying me. So pay that while paying me."
-- approximately everything

Everyone tries to cash-in before the AI balloon pops-up.
