I keep a lot of personal notes in discord like it’s a journal. Is that now a bad idea? I’ve loved discord for years but what’s happening on Reddit currently scared me off that platform already, just like Xitter

I’ve already settled on making lemmy my new home a long while ago. I like it here and there is more than enough engagement.
What i can’t really find an alternative for is discord… it’s going through the “enshittification fascism techbro” phase.
I tried matrix but honestly it sucks, Its so incredibly buggy it’s barely even usable. I’m still willing to give it a try since it seems very promising but the instability is a big downside.

Matrix and Xmpp are good for that sort of thing. Maybe there’s a way to export your notes.

I manage a community on discord and see it going down the aggressive monetization route day by day. Also looked at Matrix, but the basic tools to support my community just aren’t there. I’m hoping the next two or so years produces an alternative rich chat/voice/video platform.

The problem with Matrix to me is that it is simply too unstable. I can open it up on any device and half the messages won’t load or are corrupted. Media won’t show at all. In contrast Lemmy has been super reliable and “just works”.
I just want working voice chat and group chats.
The entire streaming i don’t really care about. There are other apps for that.
But yeah as it is I’m probably better off using discord until the enshittification is so bad no one wants to use it anymore.
