I agree with all of this except that his standard seems to be perfection, when a lot of us are not looking for a Signal alternative, but a Discord alternative, which it is. It’s still better than Discord.

Did you perchance see my previous blog post? https://soatok.blog/2026/02/11/on-discord-alternatives/

    I have now, but I don't see what "there are no good alternatives" does for the conversation when some of us are looking to get off Discord now.

    It does a lot of good, actually.

    If you know the alternatives suck, you can organize to make an alternative that doesn't suck. Some of the existing ones might be a good starting point, but if you care more about usability than privacy or federation, it will inevitably become another Discord when the law man comes.

    That said, the userbase of Discord is sufficiently large that some among you have the technical chops to replace it.
