I get the hostile stance towards Discord considering where we are, but calling them just advertisements is a bit misleading.
It's not some screen real estate forever dedicated to show you various 3rd party ads like other platforms do. And what platform let's you opt-out of ads without paying money?
Not saying this is a great development though. I just feel like Lemmy loves to seethe at anything non-FOSS just for existing.
What's the best platform to replace Discord with? Revolt or Matrix? Something else?

For some reason I thought Guilded was FOSS but I guess I was wrong on that. Matrix is probably the better option but good luck getting your existing groups to switch over there from Discord.
So like.. Buy Nitro. Free services aren't free. You pay with money, data, or ads. Pick one or multiple.
Edit: Why are you booing me? I'm right. Discord isn't Peer to Peer so servers cost money. A lot of money. Get over yourselves and stop bitching about ads or pay for the shit you use.
Yeah because they're typically hyper-paranoid about shit like if Discord knows if your keyboard is plugged in or not. I just don't get why the fuck people on the Discord community are allergic to supporting Discord. Everyone just wants free shit and it's getting old.
When they aren't losing money? They wouldn't unleash an optics nightmare for a few more dollars. Only answer is not enough people bought Nitro and with attitudes like yours, it makes sense.
