    Maybe we should remove the internet and all communicate through mail instead. Be for real people aren’t going to switch to a worse solution for no reason

        Because I like using it better than the alternatives. That is not the case for discord vs whatever else.

          Valid, I’m here because fuck Reddit. I made a choice to use a more transparent and open service that has less features and less content because of that.

          Sometimes we gotta think about our wants and think are they really a need? Or can we get by with less till the alternatives can get better. Imagine all the discord premium money that could of paid foss devs to make something better.

            It’s not really that simple. I don’t need to convince my entire friend group to switch to Lemmy in order to get some use out of it. Best I can do is convince people to use modded discord clients like vencord and aliucord for most nitro features instead of paying for it.

            I agree, but there has to be a certain bar of usability for it to be a viable replacement, since you need to convince other people to use it as well. Matrix is the closest one for me, but it’s not quite there yet.
