We need a decent replacement for this, stat. Once they go into IPO mode it's gonna get real shitty, real fast.
Mumble?
This is them going into IPO mode.
Matrix is a reasonable replacement.

Edit: well, for almost 10 years, maybe 9.

Once Discord enshittifies, lazy devs won't be able to say "follow our Discord for updates!" anymore.
I’m a lazy dev and want to get ahead of this, where should I post my updates?
RSS
Back in ye olden days you’d have your own website, a blog, or maybe a forum. It was indexable on Google and anyone could see and interact with your updates. If not for that there’s always steam.

On whatever platform(s) you sell your games. The key is not expecting someone to sign up for a different service for your updates.
Or just have an open forum/place where you don't need an account to get into some walled off bullshit.

Discord ruined what was left of online forums and so it’s users now deserve the full force of enshittification. It was so easy to join, how come it’s this hard to leave?
"this hill was so easy to walk down, why is it so hard to walk up it?"
It's hard to leave because it's easy to join, and because it has the critical mass of users. Simple as that. It takes a lot to get people to abandon their chats, their friends, their groups, and the years of built-up message history, for an app that likely has fewer users and fewer features.

Fuck IPO imminent
Bro got replaced by some ex-Activision-Blizzard MBA zombie. Humam got 86’d/golden parachuted from Blizzard after only <2 years as “Vice Chairman”. Then a 1-2 yr gap.
Humam about to get another massive bag once labor force is cut, platform further enshittified, and corp books are sufficiently cooked/prepped for IPO.

Discord is just another social media site that has a whole lot of people fooled into thinking it's not creating profiles on them for advertising. Gonna get real obvious real soon though.
I guess thats OK for community dev teams and stuff - like it works well, users can come and accesa the faq or support and leave. But it can leave a walled garden of data in there if they want to move elsewhere later though.
Larger issue is the people that share their whole lives there as a quasi-Facebook. That's all getting hoovered up and sold to the highest bidder - alongside data like exactly what activity you do on your PC (processes running when and where for how long etc - Discord monitors a lot)

they're gonna make it a million times worse putting the activision blizzard guy in charge.
Please tell me you're joking. I was just beginning to like some of the discord communities I've joined over the years.
Fuck that guy, seriously. Activision already ruined WoW, which I sincerely liked a lot for a very long time.
sadly no it was mentioned in here: https://www.theverge.com/news/654594/discord-new-ceo-jason-citron-humam-sakhnini
Ugh. Typical corporate bullshit.
fyi discord has already been enshitifying for at least 5 years now
Wait, there's actually humans working at Discord? I thought the entire thing was run by bots.
"working" lol. He's the founder and CEO, he collects most of the money.
its gonna enshittify
Let's be real, the enshitification started quite some time ago. Though I do expect it to get much worse.
