Same. I'd much rather tell them to download Discord, add me, and then we talk on there. Why are we talking over an inferior IM platform?
- mindcrime 4y agoThen use Discord to tell them to download an XMPP client and join a real IM platform that isn't some vendor's proprietary, inferior, walled-garden B.S.
- shrimp_emoji 4y agoOne can dream. :`) Matrix IMs like Element look cool, but feature parity and usability seem far away... Fat-client P2P IMs like WLM died because there was no business model, but there's not even much of one in thin-client ones like Discord (which I praise for refusing to be bought by Microsoft). It seems like a market failure thing perfect for an open source solution, but alas.
