I don’t even see this as a purely negative thing. Discord is already trash, Microsoft buying it means either
They mess it up, like they do with almost everything, and its obscene dominance comes to an end, or
Nothing.
There’s even a part of me that could see them open sourcing it/parts of it, now that they “love open source”. This would of course be a part of a calculated play to stifle the rise of alternatives like Matrix. We’re already seeing a gross trend of developers using Discord as their project discussion platform, and it would be in Microsoft’s interest to try to maximise this as much as possible, keeping them in a centralised walled-garden under their control.
I beg to differ, it’s been quite good without any hitch. Except in linux, idk why but I think there’s a memory leak everytime you’re talking for more than an hour.
open sourcing by microsoft
lol, are you kidding? Till the moment they Open Sourced Windows 10, I’ll always call them a fraud and or poser.
