We've never reached levels of Joever this high and Biden stopped being President in January, so you know its bad.

enshittification is a part of capitalism, but capitalism also has other things going on

I believe there was talk of opening it up to the fediverse but not sure where they landed on it

Edit: From the linked FAQ actually

Does Revolt have federation

As of right now, Revolt does not feature any federation and it is not in our feature roadmap.

However, this does not necessarily mean federation is off the table, possible avenues are:

• Implement our own federation protocol
• Implement a promising up and coming federation protocol, polyproto
• Implement the Matrix protocol (unlikely, obtuse and unstable)
• Implement the XMPP protocol (battle-tested and stable)

Any federation that is implemented MUST exercise caution in:

• Preventing spam and abuse: moderators should be able to block malicious actors
• Protecting user data: users should be able to redact all of their information and messages

Matrix 2.0 is class they just need to get spaces support

Not really. The network is currently undergoing massive attacks of spammers who flood people's servers, rooms and dms with child porn and videos of animals being tortured. Maintaining a public matrix room or homeserver is a nightmare and the Matrix foundation has only now come up with a solution. But these servers are slow to release and many people have been left with no choice but to leave Matrix all together. Discord is a shithole but we need to make sure people are aware that the alternatives have their own set of issues too

Not had any spammers in my server. To handle that sort of stuff on discord I have a bot that removes messages based on regexs I’ve set and restrict new members from media,urls, etc til they get their first 10 posts in the server.

It doesn't.

It has features for video/voice calling - E.g. Background blurring and stuff like that. It just lacks the stuff that would make it usable for gaming.

It feels like literally the entire open source and games communities are on discord. Will they move too? I care about that even more than my DMs.

I swear they are soulless NPCs put on this earth by demons to torture us.

I don't know if you saw the news last month but Discord just replaced a founder with a former Activision-Blizzard exec as CEO.

No need, use discord canary.

The only feature I would care about with nitro is using emojis everywhere but that feature isn't worth any amount of money let alone whatever discord is charging for it

I'm obsessed with this xkcd because it eloquently explains something I've been trying to explain to my techs (I'm a director of IT) and my more techy friends.

Its not that most people like the ads (although personalized ads are really nice), it's that most people legitimately don't give a shit. Nobody really cares that PC gaming is "better", or Linux is "better", or building your own PC is "better" except the turbo nerds like us (and yes, im including you kind reader as you are on Lemmy)

Wel there goes my discord account. Bye you won’t be missed

Oooh yeah, dust off the hotline auto clickers.

I like it, personally, but I don't use voice chat.

The lesson of Pay-To-Surf will keep being taught by reality until it gets taught in business school.

Don't forget to tip your instance admins!

Peter Sellis can take those Orbs and shove them up his Ass I don’t want this shit!

Online software development life cycle in a nutshell:

Startup - Geeks are in charge and you're creating a cool communications platform.
Mature - Accountants are in charge and you're gamifying ad clicks.
