    They expect to lose a few users but will work hard to get users back?

    No. Once I’m gone, I’m gone. Account deleted. You are not getting me back. Trust broken. Thank your dumbass shareholders for forcing you to do this shit

      It’s okay. People who don’t care will keep paying and keep staying. And the same people will be even more likely to continue buying or to buy new things.

    Sucks that there isn’t a one-size-fits-all alternative, yet.

    Stoat doesn’t have enough features.

    Matrix is confusing for the masses, plus there is so much conflicting information online of what home server do you join? You shouldn’t join matrix.org’s because of admin abuse? Element clients on mobile are meh.

    TeamSpeak is a voice first platform.

    For my situation it looks like I should move my wife and I to Signal and then my friend group to Stoat, but the recent server issues(prob due to influx of new users) has caused a bit of my friends to have a sour taste out of the gate…

    Nothing is ready to replace Discord IMO. And that sucks. We need dedicated forums again, more wiki servers, and better chat applications.

        I’ll have to try that. I saw Comet, but getting some errors and slowness compared to Element (classic)

    I’m in the process of switching my two communities to Matrix. It’s not bad from a user point of view, but running your own server is such an enormous pain in the ass. Like, way harder than it should be.

      Same, I was disappointed though that they never asked for a reason why

    I am still confused that Discord got so popular. Glad I never built anything around it.

    WOW. So Discord was already hacked back in October. I thought that as of yet, it was just a hypothetical. Yeah…I’m leaving Discord.

    The issue I see here is alot of people have friends… Solve the discord problem by getting rid of them.

    /s

    If you’re willing to use discord just use zoom or Google for video/screen sharing it’s all going into the same database anyways.
