sparking of discord, as much as I'd like people to use alternatives, there sadly isn't really one that's all that reliable

xmpp and matrix both have encryption management issues, irc lacks so much features, signal and telegram are both centralized and in the case of the latter has been under pressure from lawmakers

yeah... this is the world we live in

@mikoto foss devs need to step up if they want people to use their software. discord is better than matrix, irc and xmpp. source: people actually use it. we need to build systems that people actually want to use, not systems that we want people to use.

@lain @mikoto xmpp is probably more widespread than discord.
