Something like Matrix or OMEMO? I feel like if a founder made a Discord alternative, they would end up falling into the same traps the original Discord founders did.
- tikkun 3y agoNo I mean more end-consumer oriented ones. You're probably right, though I still think it'd be nice to see more competition (plus, more competition tends to make companies behave better, because they know users have compelling alternatives).
- smoldesu 3y agoI'm mostly surprised you don't see IRC and Matrix as competition. On this site of all places, there are probably more people avoiding Discord than there are avoiding alternatives. You do you, though. I'm just not one to put my faith in the free market.
