Honestly I'll just go back to IRC.
Matrix can bridge to IRC
What was the main problem that eventually made everyone move from it ? I remember back in my teen days it was Teamspeak, Skype and IRC. Somehow I got by with mostly Skype so don't have much experience with it.
There wasn't one. They're still around and people still idle.
Discord is the same thing but with added features like voice, photos, gifs, and other services.
Under the hood, it's just updated IRC with analytics
Check out The Lounge or Convos if you are willing to use a web client. They display history, images on channels, allow uploads, preview URLs and have push notifications.
lets hope for a competitor that doesn't shoot themselves in the foot 🙏
discord also shot themselves in the foot too
Look none of us like Peter Thiel but him being an investor in a company used by discord is barely a story
The bigger story here IMO is that discord may be trying to move away from their home grown easily circumvented system, so get verified while you still can without compromising yourself.
How do you even do it though lol, it hasn't asked me too.
