@Gargron not deleting yet as I admin too many groups. Following other group leaders into other spaces as they set them up, e.g. into Discord for group chats
@Kay @Gargron Discord is not better.

@dolmen As far as I'm aware, Discord doesn't own a big chunk of the entire online ad market and also doesn't try to collect and use all data they possibly can across different websites, apps and services. :)

Not saying they're good or anything, but Meta has been in its own category of evil for a while now with very few competitors in that regard. At least in the online/tech world.

@Kay

@Sven @dolmen @Kay People said the same about WhatsApp and Instagram: at least they weren’t Facebook. But they provide a centralised point of control that can be easily acquired. Meta could easily buy Discord and integrate all of the data that they’ve harvested.
@Sven @Kay Discord is evil in its own way. But the common thing is they are both private companies that run social network and that aims to make profit, while users are not paying directly for the service they get. They are walled garden where you don't have control of the content you posted, as they can change their usage policy at anytime and this applies retroactively to old content you may have posted 20 years ago.

@dolmen Fair criticisms of Discord.

Not really that relevant to my wish to stay connected to a positive community of people online. Very much a matter of less bad choices, not good ones.

@dolmen Totally true and I even acknowledged this in my reply. It's just a totally different discussion than the initially disputed statement. 😅

(Also, for what it's worth, their main source of income is from Nitro subscriptions, so there is some direct cash flow.)
