I'm a bit salty this was apparently announced through Discord. Was it even posted anywhere else?

The future of social media is fragmented siloes, I guess.

I will never not be pissed off that the overwhelming majority of communities that made the internet vibrant especially when nerding out about niche stuff just happily moved to discord and foreclosed their futures.

Everytime I get down on the fediverse I think about what discord did to online communities I loved and I get fired up again.

I wouldn't have an issue with many different communications platforms if they didn't all require an account (also Discord not being indexable sucks).

Discord is even worse, as you need to find an invite to a specific Discord, and sometimes go through a lengthy sign up process for each Discord.

Some won't let you sign up without a phone #.

Yeah, this is a big part of why I stopped using discord recently. Not yet sure of any alternatives but leaving is step one.

Matrix.

And... Lemmy.

It doesn't matter though, the problem is the critical mass is migrating to Discord and shunting everything out of view. Honestly that's much worse than being on Reddit, even now.

Yeah, why don't they send an owl to each interested party?

Some of us like to be contacted via cute and fluffy snow owls...

You are a wizard Joe!...

...but an average one.
