I second this!

It's especially disappointing to see FOSS people on Fediverse promoting it.

    People love discord. When Microsoft tried to buy it, people freaked out. They turned down the multi billion dollar offer. IMO, I don't believe the paid portion of the app is worth the money because it's mostly cosmetic bullshit. They don't give me a good reason to give them money

    I also think discord nitro is kind of B.S . The only reason I still use discord is because my friends use it.

    I wish there were similar features in Matrix clients like Element. Just the voice channels feature will be enough for me.

    Revolt chat is a good alternative. It lacks in features but its pretty good for an FOSS project. I tried to convince my friends to use it but they crawled back to discord after 2 days.
