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”.

    Let’s not mention the abysmal performance for servers. Making it largely infeasible to scale.

    It’s not the solution, not even remotely close, unfortunately.

      What are you using instead? I only recently set up my synapse server and I’d be interested to head what the alternatives are

        I’ve found SimpleX a much better solution than matrix for a discord alternative.

        Conduwuit is actively developed and works pretty nice for me. Single user, but bridged to hundreds of telegram, WhatsApp and discord rooms. As well as a few matrix rooms too.

          Nice! Looks like a cool matrix platform! I’m on synapse myself but this looks cool
