They supposedly can be disabled in settings- but we all know that won't last. They're going full Microsoft Skype mode and it's only a matter of time.

Trust Discord to gamify sponsored content.

I get the hostile stance towards Discord considering where we are, but calling them just advertisements is a bit misleading.

It's not some screen real estate forever dedicated to show you various 3rd party ads like other platforms do. And what platform let's you opt-out of ads without paying money?

Not saying this is a great development though. I just feel like Lemmy loves to seethe at anything non-FOSS just for existing.

What's the best platform to replace Discord with? Revolt or Matrix? Something else?

For some reason I thought Guilded was FOSS but I guess I was wrong on that. Matrix is probably the better option but good luck getting your existing groups to switch over there from Discord.
