Discord was already succumbing to enshitification. Now with their intention to be owned by Wall Street, that trajectory will certainly accelerate at warp speed once the change of hands happens.

Anyone already get ahead of this and find a solid alternative?

Right now I’m on the fence between Element for Matrix, and Revolt. Both seem to have their pros and cons and I can’t find a clear “winner”.

    it’s Element/Matrix if we’re lucky. Revolt is just another Discord - surely this single company will last! With Element/Matrix being an open protocol, it won’t be a “platform” you have to leave when it goes corporate.

      Sadly I found out yesterday:

      Matrix is not a community-based software, it was born [00] in Amdocs [01], a multinational corporation founded in Israel.

      https://hackea.org/notas/matrix.html

      Many were claiming its impossible to get contributions merged as well.

      I would be happy to find out this information is wrong or outdated.
