But isn't that the wrong approach?

If you want to choose something better, shouldn't be 'enshittificationability' be the main point you want to address? That is the reason discord is doing most of the bad stuff. Proprietary software is about enshittification.

    No.

    The main point that needs to be addressed is the requirement to upload your face or government ID. This exodus has nothing to do with Discord not being Open Source.

    If you’d rather stay on Discord and give them your face while you await the “perfect” solution to materialize you are free to do so. But I think everyone else just needs something purpose ready that doesn’t ask for their face. Then when a fully functional, self hosted, open source solution appears they can reasses.

    I mean the issue at hand is discord enshittifying, TeamSpeak has been around for a lot longer and didn't do that (even when they were in discords position market wise) which also mlght be because their funding model is actually sustainable.

    Sure they might enshittify later down the line anway but it's an alternative that's here now and solves the ossue at hand
