@stux @verge huh.. on the up side I hope that kicks folk into trying to find some better places to replace it!

stux :stux_santa:

@wiredfire @verge Same indeed I have a feeling a lot of ppl refuse this

Grey the earthling

@verge Agh! Couldn't they have waited until Matrix and/or Delta Chat was ready as a Good replacement?

@verge Glad I never became dependent on this shitty IRC knockoff

Even if they're now spoiled rotten by llms, search engines still work well enough to look for them. If your community is to move, it has to be a collective decision and they should do some work too.

@verge goodbye discord then. I use it a lot but that's a step too far

@verge fuck discord

Eckes :mastodon:

@verge to be fair, it’s about time that Discord takes this responsibility and does not have all the “servers” request and validate PII as a hobby

@verge
Welp...

Time to drop Nitro, write a sternly worded email and look for a replacement for Discord.

Maybe set up a private Team Speak server or something. Or maybe go back to good old XMPP...

@verge I'm sure there are alternatives out there.

LittlePolarBear

@verge wow... Looks like I'll be leaving yet another platform...

RIP my 10 year #clashofclans server lmao

Nina Felwitch :v_trans:

@verge Fuck Discord. It's time we all go back to self hosted Teamspeak servers.

Wiredfire

@stux @verge bring back IRC in a more mobile-friendly shape!
