Discord co-founder and CEO Jason Citron is stepping down

LLMs are about to get a whole lot more edgelord.

Uh oh.

Discord is just another social media site that has a whole lot of people fooled into thinking it's not creating profiles on them for advertising. Gonna get real obvious real soon though.

I guess thats OK for community dev teams and stuff - like it works well, users can come and accesa the faq or support and leave. But it can leave a walled garden of data in there if they want to move elsewhere later though.

Larger issue is the people that share their whole lives there as a quasi-Facebook. That's all getting hoovered up and sold to the highest bidder - alongside data like exactly what activity you do on your PC (processes running when and where for how long etc - Discord monitors a lot)

Discord ruined what was left of online forums and so it’s users now deserve the full force of enshittification. It was so easy to join, how come it’s this hard to leave?

they're gonna make it a million times worse putting the activision blizzard guy in charge.

Once Discord enshittifies, lazy devs won't be able to say "follow our Discord for updates!" anymore.

We need a decent replacement for this, stat. Once they go into IPO mode it's gonna get real shitty, real fast.

Uh oh.

its gonna enshittify

Hey bruh u wanna buy nitro bruh. It's the new shit bruh

Fuck IPO imminent

Where am I moving my friends group? Revolt is nice but not quite ready for primetime / getting a rewrite, and I've always been iffy about matrix. Is a signal group chat literally where we're heading to!?

Bro got replaced by some ex-Activision-Blizzard MBA zombie. Humam got 86’d/golden parachuted from Blizzard after only <2 years as “Vice Chairman”. Then a 1-2 yr gap.

Humam about to get another massive bag once labor force is cut, platform further enshittified, and corp books are sufficiently cooked/prepped for IPO.

A bitter end for this lemon.

I get ads in my discord now. Revolt, Matrix, thats your queue.

There guess the chat app.

I’m glad I’m too old to use Slack but for video games. I’d rather eat a bowl of hair than have more notifications.

Does revolt have screen share with audio? What about noise filter?

What a lemon!!!
