I hear people are doing a surprise-pikachu about Discord's new ad push?
https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2025/03/discord-heightens-ad-focus-by-introducing-video-ads-to-mobile-apps-in-june/
Truly surprising that a *checks notes* proprietary, centralized, VC-funded platform started enshittifying the moment it gained enough market share to make it very difficult for people to flow elsewhere. 
Nobody saw that coming! 
Any people reading this who rely on Discord: this is your nudge to consider moving elsewhere.
Where? I don't know. What I do know is that whatever alternative I suggest, you will find a myriad of reasons why it just "won't cut it."
But I also know that if resources were spent on making the hard-to-enshittify decentralized platforms better, they would get better, while still remaining hard to enshittify.
So, perhaps it's worth it to trade some short-term convenience for long-term resilience. 
@rysiek Once the servers I am on move to a different software, I will move as well.
