They supposedly can be disabled in settings- but we all know that won’t last. They’re going full Microsoft Skype mode and it’s only a matter of time.

Hope we get some comparable options yet, I only know of matrix and that one allegedly has tons of security and performance issues.

Can you list some security/performance/feature comparison between matrix and discord? I don’t have the need for these class of product, but I am trying to get the hype behind discord.
I don’t know about discord issues, the hype behind is it mostly that it’s free, very convenient, feature rich and can easily integrate bots. Its the go-to place to build communities nowadays.
Matrix issues that I read about can be seen here https://telegra.ph/why-not-matrix-08-07 . I haven’t done my own research tho so I don’t know if all of this is (still) true
It’s often not the cost of the software, but the hosting costs, especially on a growing platform.

I think it’s why many decentralised platforms don’t want very big instances, and prefer them to split off into smaller federated sites.
