Discord wants to know how you feel about AI. Go tell them: discord.sjc1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_...

Matrix has too many fundamental flaws sadly. I don't think it can give a good experience without a complete overhaul from the ground up

The backend looks totally fine as far as I'm aware; their client situation is what definitely needs work.

You can't delete a room. The basic fuction of DELETE a room does not exist.

I think a stronger alternative would crop up quickly if an exodus occurred/was likely. But, yeah. Ugh.

Yeah, FOSS gets exponentially better the bigger any given community gets (eg: blender, godot). Discord just seems to be unfathomably entrenched at the moment, despite the blatant enshittification on their way to an IPO.

Last time Discord was flirting with AI, Matrix + Jitsi seemed like it was the closest to a viable alternative to Discord (excluding "move to another free-ish commercial service for 1-5 years until they enshittify" or "pay $$$$$$$ for Slack") and that was gonna be a looooot of jank

Ever heard of Revolt?
