    I have a handful of friends and family that did actually switch, but I still have a few stubborn friends on Discord that do t see the point. Just waiting for Discord to fuck up badly enough…

      Discord not even letting me to creare an account. The OTP never get generated. And i believe that’s for good.

      Many open-source developers also effectively using discord as a communication medium.

      I have 1 friend who I talk to exclusively over discord DMs.

      The server went down for about 6 hours when we were chatting and he made a signal account.

      Then he deleted it after the outage 😭

      Discord is already a haven for groomers, zoosadists, and more. Not sure what levels of “fucking up” they’d need to do, to get normies to bail.

        So one’s friends become zoosadists - whatever that is - if they’re chatting via discord?

        The argument that there’s creeps using a platform is moot if you’re using it to communicate with your friends. Which is what people do. It’s so weird to me, like, the same can be said about Signal etc etc but nooooo, there it’s only the good ones chatting. Get outta here with this shit.

        They dont know about any of that stuff and they don’t wander in the public spaces of discord. I think forcing the ID on all users will do the trick. They just haven’t enforced it yet.

          Which is very wise.

          I use Discord for work, and I use it only to communicate with specific people about specific things. Absolutely no need to go exploring whatever drek inhabits the rest of the service.

        For as long as they type a message, hit send, and the other person receives, they’ll keep on using it no matter what Users are stubborn to change, they only really do when they can’t do the basic thing
