Discord looks for more ways to make money ahead of expected IPO.
Enshitification ensues.
If you're looking for an alternative: https://revolt.chat/
Or Matrix. Lots of clients, all kind of meh, but it's federated, and has e2ee.
Is just setting up a matrix.org account fine or should I like find anotherone/Selfhost?
Came here to ask for an alternative, so thanks. I didn't have Revolt in my open source/federated alternatives list. But I've added it now.
The problem is, I am using Discord because that's where the communities I'm part of are. We already use other tools in my friend groups.
For everything else I can use Discord or I can leave the community, and that's a far worse outcome.
Lol, they want to go public in this disastrous economy.

Already moved my community to Matrix/Element last year. Haven't looked back.
Any advice on how to move a server over to a matrix/element based setup?
I have a feeling there will be resistance to change, because many of the core people there seem to be discord fans and are longtime users.

I only use it (discord) if I really have to now, been encouraging my friends/peers to contact me on matrix if anything, which hopefully pushes the user base.
Quests are a feature of Discord, so they're not ads. But for everyone not using quests, this is just another annoying piece of crap.

Being a "feature" doesn't mean it isn't an ad.
