Discord was already succumbing to enshitification. Now with their intention to be owned by Wall Street, that trajectory will certainly accelerate at warp speed once the change of hands happens.
Anyone already get ahead of this and find a solid alternative?
Right now I’m on the fence between Element for Matrix, and Revolt. Both seem to have their pros and cons and I can’t find a clear “winner”.

it’s Element/Matrix if we’re lucky. Revolt is just another Discord - surely this single company will last! With Element/Matrix being an open protocol, it won’t be a “platform” you have to leave when it goes corporate.

Revolt is F/OSS

That doesn’t really change that it’s one company hosting it. Unless you’re willing to make 10 different accounts because your super-FOSS friends aren’t willing to join each others instances?

…theoretically for now
It a centralized server controlled by the devs

Nheko provides an interface that is reminiscent of Discord. Fully featured and fast Matrix client.

Thank you for the recommendation. I tried element a while ago and found it lacking. Matrix must be the way forward. Disregarding IRC of course.

Sadly I found out yesterday:
hackea.org/notas/matrix.html
Many were claiming its impossible to get contributions merged as well.
I would be happy to find out this information is wrong or outdated.

Feels like fud.
Matrix is a set of standards and governed by an open foundation matrix.org/foundation/about/
Also there are many different server implementations and its hard to believe they all send your data to some third entity.
In other words, smells like classic misinform and even worse, just attempts to trow shit at some other project for some obscure reasons.
