Stop doing Discord
- capitalists were not supposed to own your community
- Years of hanging out yet no real-world use found for sending your private data to be sold to advertisers
- Wanted to leak private data anyway for a laugh? We had a tool for that; it was called “turning off ublock origin”
- “Yes please search our chat archive for answers to your question. it will certainly remain up forever and not get deleted when the shareholders realize it’s not profitable” statements dreamed up by the utterly deranged
Look at what discord admins have been demanding your respect for all this time:
- task manager screenshot, discord using 97% of CPU
- discord making too many automated requests and getting throttled
- crash screenshot
“3rd-party client? lifetime ban”
They have played us for absolute fools

I only just learned about that combination yesterday. Sounds like I should look into it a bit more?
Absolutely, it’s fantastic and I highly recommend it.
I use community.rs if you’re in NA it’s pretty good.
Does Matrix have an equivalent to “servers” on Discord? Like, I can join one and it comes with a bunch of chat rooms owned and moderated by the same community? Because that’s the biggest thing I used Discord for is following and interacting with communities I’m in; and I just fired up Element and I see nothing that hints that it would be possible…
Yes, they’re called spaces.
If you’re on the desktop, they’re the thing on the far left where you see a home icon
Hey, thanks! I’ve now found them!
