Nah, it gave me 10 different things I had to do before deleting my account. Also, no. I have my limit and it crossed when they chose to implement facial ID. I am missing it still, I am looking for something to fill the open group discussion it had for me.

    That's the hard part really, finding a new group chat platform.

    My friends and I are switching to Matrix but finding a community there is gonna be a bit tough.

    We all become too dependent on Discord and now we're paying the price when we try to leave.

    That’s really nice! I went ahead and setup Element on all my devices as well, but I’m not as enthusiastic. Most people won’t bother changing. It was a pain to make people move from WhatsApp / iMessage to Signal already

    The problem is how will you do for most services and websites? They have support on discord for the most part (especially for coding stuff, or games)
