Just another friendly reminder to get off #Discord and use #IRC, #XMPP, or #Matrix instead. https://www.theverge.com/2024/1/11/24034705/discord-layoffs-17-percent-employees

There's still plenty of alternatives out there, even #forum platforms are still here.

Discord lays off 17 percent of employees

In an internal memo, CEO Jason Citron said the company’s cuts were needed to “sharpen our focus and improve the way we work together to bring more agility to our organization.”

@joeo10 I mean element (the main company working on matrix) has letgo/fired alot of their staff more then 17% this past year so its just really bad management from my understanding

@haise The good news is that the Matrix protocol is open source and anyone can fork it. I don't use Element/Riot at all.

Big difference is that Discord is centralized and will shut down at some point, taking all of their archives along with it.
