Start considering moving your communities out of Discord now. Don’t wait for the enshittiffication to arrive, the clock is ticking. No one will listen to me, but let’s talk again later. https://www.reuters.com/business/chat-platform-discord-confidentially-file-us-ipo-bloomberg-news-reports-2026-01-06/

@djlink "I told you so" seems fitting to everyone especially FOSS / open source communities that wouldn't listen🤦

@djlink As for Alternatives to #discord there is #revolt which is pretty much an opensource clone, which recently changed it's name to #stoat

@djlink Not sure where most of you all have been but Discord has been garbage for many many years.

They have sold user data for years, which is why I dropped them 8+ years ago.

Just one example, and from last year... Glad I dont have any data they sold to Law Enforcement and AI companies.

Your Discord Data Is Being Sold to Law Enforcement and AI Companies

According to 404Media, a company called Spy Pet is scraping Discord servers and selling the data to law enforcement, AI companies, and anyone who wants it—so long as they pay in cryptocurrency.
