I dumped Discord when I heard they were trying to do an IPO, as soon as that happens a company is without fail going to screw all of their customers because if there are shareholders the customer becomes the product.

    This is going to happen with every large centralized service, especially if they let you use it for free. These services end up being expensive to run.

    The only real solution is to use something decentralized. You're already on Lemmy so I assume you already know this. Matrix is decent (not perfect, but it's pretty good) and it's easily self-hostable using Tuwunel.

    Alreeady on Matrix, too, of course. And my main social is Mastodon.

    I've purged Meta, Microsoft, Google, Sony, all of them. Heck, I'll even be lookin in to alternative GPUs for the next build, and how well I can run things on RISC-V rather than x64 or ARM.
