What's the exchange rate of Discord Orbs to Stanley Nickels?

They truly have zero clue how users actually use their software. Not a single person is going to use this just like every other stupid gimmick feature they've added in the past and then promptly removed.

Wanna see my orbs on discord?

I admittedly haven't looked very hard for an alternative. But I fully expect to be forced to move elsewhere in the next year or two due to their increasingly belligerent chasing of profits.

You son of a bitch. I'm in!

It has to be one of those 'Lim~x~ as X approaches 0' Calculus things where X is the value of Discord Orbs.

This has been tried and tried again. The first time I remember seeing this was in the '90's where a "free" dial up ISP was trying this. NetZero maybe? Didn't work then, won't work now. They'll pay out so little it won't be worth it. Don't do it kids!

I close every popup, ad, and whatnot.
Read nothing, join my voice channel and talk with friends.

Discord has no features imo but voice and text. Everything else is useless and not needed. I will never give them a dime. No point.

Same. I just hope my friend group and by some extension the gaming community chooses something that won't fall into the same pitfal of closed source for profit organizations.

I hope the transition is towards matrix, or something like it.

pondering my uninstalling discord

You couldn't be more wrong.

People actually use the shop. they are spending $10-20 on a profile picture border. Now you are telling them that they can get them for "free"? You bet people will do it. Paid cosmetics have poisoned minds.

Hopefully Revolt (a Fediverse alternative to Discord) continues to improve and can completely take the place of Discord relatively soon.

Edit: it might only be FOSS, not federated. Still a promising project though.

Keep an eye on Revolt.

Is Revolt federated? I thought it was only FOSS

Hopefully, I would love a discord alternative that does the same thing but is open sourced similar to the fediverse.

Is it open-source? Sounds like it does exactly what I want. Maybe I'll create a shadow group there and make the permanent jump once discord becomes untenable.

I don't think Revolt is Fediverse, afaik it's entirely centralized without plans for interop or federation
Please update me if I just didn't find the right reference
