    It’s the best at what it does…

    Locking data away from search engines so that unless you’re in that little fiefdom you don’t get the information.

      And preventing any internet archiving so any and all information on it is lost whenever the server is deleted. It never should have been used for anything but game chat.

      Probably that too, but specifically the ability to spin up a private space to communicate with people for things like video games. Anyone that’s using it as their means of customer service is an idiot.

      Apparently I struck a chord with my post, so I’m curious what is better than discord, and free that made my statement controversial?

      Also, I don’t see locking data from search engines as a bad thing. The fediverse isn’t search engine searchable either and Google, bing, etc, don’t natively have the right to index private data.

        The fediverse not being searchable is one of the biggest flaws with it, and make it similarly ephemeral to Discord, except its actually worse because the sizes of communities are just in that goldilocks area of awfulness where there are echo chambers, and people are rude and toxic. Whatsmore, availability due to the small size is relatively mediocre.

          both of those are not remotely as feature rich or user-friendly as discord.

              Youre totally right. Spoiled brats deserve the enshittification they get because they are lazy and refuse to learn anything. And corporations LOVE that.

              Maybe we should remove the internet and all communicate through mail instead. Be for real people aren’t going to switch to a worse solution for no reason

                  Because I like using it better than the alternatives. That is not the case for discord vs whatever else.

                    Valid, I’m here because fuck Reddit. I made a choice to use a more transparent and open service that has less features and less content because of that.

                    Sometimes we gotta think about our wants and think are they really a need? Or can we get by with less till the alternatives can get better. Imagine all the discord premium money that could of paid foss devs to make something better.
