Part of me hopes they do this kinda stuff more, make the platform uninviting for developers so they can move to something better... Like IRC

I love IRC. Was a fun way to talk to my Counter-Strike back in the day. Still idle on libre chat. I hate that discord is everywhere but it’s just easy for people.

What about Matrix & XMPP?

[–] Nima@leminal.space 2 points 7 months ago

I use matrix, but the issue is convincing your entire friend base to move to another platform.

Last time I used it Matrix was slow as hell. I don't know if it improved since then. XMPP is great but public servers are a wasteland.
