I just threw up in my mouth.

Discord needs some serious competition soon, its been going downhill for a long time now. I would use matrix or revolt but the issue is getting my friends to switch to them.

[–] tankfox@midwest.social 1 points 1 week ago

Easy, just make new friends!

[–] thek3nger@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 weeks ago

Of course they will. It was just a matter of time.

Rip Discord.

Is Ventrillo still a thing?

It’s never been a better time to use matrix.

[–] Tea@programming.dev 4 points 2 weeks ago

With all due respect to your opinion, for people who used to use Discord, Matrix simply was never a alternative.

A much better suited alternative to Discord is Revolt.

[–] doodledup@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

Matrix is almost an alternative to Discord as much as PeerTube is an alternative to Disney+.

Oh god no not Matrix
