While I understand that approach EF going Discord-forward, it's one that's prevented me from joining many circles now as I've pledged to take my data privacy more seriously and proprietary apps aren't it. I hope you offer at least one alternative (but if you're not targeting open-source users or privacy advocates, there likely wouldn't be a difference).
- LunaSea 4y agoIn this day and age that is simply not possible anymore. Most apps have no good open source alternatives.
- MaKey 4y agoZulip is a pretty good open source alternative to Discord / Slack.
- joshspankit 4y agoDespite the looming narratives that tell us to give up our data, it’s always possible. There are dozens of products and countless open protocols to base new products on. We could even just use IRC again.
- RunSet 4y agoOne nice thing about IRC is it is sure to remain an alternative as services which purportedly lack alternatives build paywalls or become the center of scandals relating to mishandling user data.
