  Where’d we go though? Which place with the streaming and chatting?

    XMPP with their myriad of gnu-ified clients.

      Which client is the multi-platform one with message history and streaming video?

        Gajim is one. Dino is another (I think). You just need to make sure the client has Jingle compatability (xmpp plugin) for streaming video. A lot let you connect to multiple.xmpp servers

        Movim. Though due to how recent it was implemented, you must use a chromium based browser to stream the application’s audio too.

    Matrix, can easily do the above.

      Except audio on the screen share, it is my biggest issue with matrix currently.

        Why? It works flawlessly for me. Are you self hosting? Are you on Wayland?

    I’ve been using Matrix for about a decade. Federated, encrypted chats and rooms (optional), supports video, self hostable, fully open source.

      I have too. It’s… Really not ready for primetime, based on present-day experiences watching rooms lurch into view (and I don’t even think it’s possible to search for them on Android). Has video at least gown better?

    I setup a Haven (Github) self-hosted instance and am slowly dragging friends over as the dev pumps out features. All the important stuff is already available, still more on the way. Also has things like E2E, which I don’t care about for my community/server, but it is nice to have.

      How the heck have I not heard of this one yet? It already looks promising - I see video, chat, channel organization…

        It’s one main dev, another doing android, and supporters (I myself have been firing off ideas, suggestions, and issue tickets, and trying to help other users). An electron desktop program is in the works too.

  “Too late” isn’t even relevant anyway, they’re still doing it, so everyone should still be leaving.

  • Sanctus@anarchist.nexus ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    I’d argue its completely relevant as they are trying to save face here. Anyone who has somehoe made it to 2026 without a hostile relationship to corporations (most red and blue team in America) will probably take this as a sign to come back for now.

      Agreed; Discord is trying to lull people into a false sense of security as a means of convincing them to stay, in the same manner that Reddit gave limited API access to apps like RedReader to step the tide of users leaving for platforms like Lemmy.

      Beyond age verification, if Discord is scanning a user’s messaging history to determine what their age is, one can only imagine all the other data valuable to data brokers that they are extracting from it too.
