get ready for 5 years of no major updates :dabs:
Then it suddenly stops working for most people, and gets replaced by something better that Microsoft then tries to buy too.
Too real…
Looks at Skype
I remember when this happened with GitHub,
#MoveToGitlab
was a hashtag in response and I posted something like “I don’t have to #MoveToGitlab because I already have Gitlab here on my server”I have a verifiable history of saying “Fuck Discord” every time Discord does something shitty or shady, so I look forward to being able to say it again. Use IRC, Matrix, XMPP, anything that’s libre and open and not a proprietary competitor
I don’t even see this as a purely negative thing. Discord is already trash, Microsoft buying it means either
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.
lol, are you kidding? Till the moment they Open Sourced Windows 10, I’ll always call them a fraud and or poser.
