I think they'll give it a genuine shot. These stalking services pop up like weeds and every time it gets some media attention they end up with significant problems not much later. dis.cool was the last well-known entry but there's been more.

Excited to see Discord do absolutely nothing about this despite it being an egregious breach of their TOS.

Can’t wait for it to die and wither out. But I know they will retain a big pool of users on hostage like reddit or fb for a while.

Is matrix.org a viable alternative as of now or the near future?

If it has the same issues Lemmy does, probably not. People don’t want to build an account on a server only to find out, three months later, it’s run by tankies, or anti-piracy watchdogs, or any other number of unsavory things.

Matrix is great, if only I could convince my friends to use it.

Discord‘s TOS only really applies when they feel like it.

…and when they don’t pay Discord under the table. Discord wouldn’t be unique if this was the case either.
