You can already pretend to be a kid in a room with other kids on discord! There's a HUGE CSAM problem on it.
I backed up local copies of a couple of chats with some stuff I actually care about, using Tyrrrz DiscordChatExporter 2.43
just use the broccoli from veggietales worked for me
Oh I thought we were taking discord out back…
I'm checking out fluxer but it's getting hug of death right now. Root also looks promising but they are closed source and VC backed which gives me pause.
closed source and VC backed
Basically a non-starter at this point.
Maybe used to be these startups would compete for user affections by being more benevolent.
But nowadays the bare basics of even being competitive in the business is having a plan for gaining critial mass and then rapidly enshittifying for revenue before selling your ~~product~~ users to some new private equity overlords.
Open source used to be more of just a preference, or a virtue. Now it's basically the only way to not guarantee your exploitation.
100% agree. Just wish this was common understanding amongst the masses. But here I am on lemmy and not reddit, where most folks are aligned on FOSS or death.
