Well, this seems like powerful motivation for me to eventually find a free open source positive alternative to Discord, while ignoring Discord in the meantime. I would love to bypass their enshittification phase entirely.

Revolt is one, and the app is basically a clone of Discord.

It’s very new, but that’s one. Spacebar was one but seems to be stuck in limbo. Then yeah there’s Revolt I guess.

Maybe this is a sign people need to stop expecting everything on the Internet to be free?
