    What do i say to my friends to get them to leave? Ive already tried and they won’t.

    Sadly this change won’t really affect them so they are not going to care. I’ve wanted to leave for a long time now.

      I just abruptly switched to Matrix and encouraged anyone who wanted to get a hold of me to do the same, held my ground and did not look back, now a good handful of my friends have a Matrix account.

    Fuck Discord is the common message now, but how about we amplify good alternatives? It’ll be easier to tell Discord to fuck off if we’re already set to move elsewhere.

        The main thing I will miss from discord is the ease of streaming with a small group of friends. That was main reason we chose it over alternatives back in the day.

            Discord has made communicating with a small group of friends who moved to different cities stay in touch daily while playing games, chatting in voice, and streaming stuff to share. Voice and text are great, but the streaming is how we share the in game moments we used to be able to see in person.

      I will never understand the move from forums to discord. when discord is the only way to get assistance, I go find another product.

        Discord is terrible for assistance.

        Search is ineffective, you have to actually fight the UI to go back to older messages, depending on the device there are still somehow cases in which you can’t go back to the beginning of a thread. But thank you for putting a huge reminder that I am currently “reading through old messages”, silly me, why would I want to do that.

        Oh, you’re trying to scroll down through old posts? Let me suddenly refresh the list for no reason and bring you back to the most recent ones. Everything past the third screen might as well not exist anymore.

        And of course, there is the slight problem of every useful info written there being completely invisible to the rest of the internet.

        Everything I’ve said is everybody is categorize as a teen unless the provide face/ID verification. So anonymous should still be allowed in general, just not to servers/channels set as age restricted.
