Users won’t actually leave Discord. I emphasized ‘some’ in the opening paragraph because the announcement states that the vast majority of existing users won’t be impacted (1the platform already has enough usage information to reliably identify their age).
1We already know who you are LOL
Fluxer seems to be an exciting alternative to discord, that is mentioned in the weekly post on selfhost.
Seems ironic to host a self-host discussion on a platform like Discord
It’s a blog post.
It mentions how several open source projects have their communities on Discord.
I might have misunderstood the comment I replied to, and the username led me to think it was intentionally snarky because of the thumbnail. In that case yes, it is extremely ironic.
As an aside, I taken some training and certification exams from a vendor that’s pretty highly respected in my industry. When I started taking their courses they provided student interaction and lab help from employees through a forum. They deprecated that and moved entirely to Discord in like 2021. Now it’s a flood of the same questions asked over and over again, and it doesn’t feel like an extension of the learning process when you have to ask a question or get help. I hate everything about it.
These people offer training courses up to and including shit like security mitigation bypasses, complex heap manipulations, and 64-bit kernel exploitation. They are more than capable of rolling their own self-hosted platform, and if their students can’t figure out how to use a forum idk what they’re doing in the course in the first place.
Yeah that sounds terrible. Also my main reason to hate discord.
