Discord was already succumbing to enshitification. Now with their intention to be owned by Wall Street, that trajectory will certainly accelerate at warp speed once the change of hands happens.

Anyone already get ahead of this and find a solid alternative?

Right now I’m on the fence between Element for Matrix, and Revolt. Both seem to have their pros and cons and I can’t find a clear “winner”.

    If you’re self hosting, it’s Revolt. But the default instance limits you to 20mb or something for files, which is a problem for me, personally.

      Revolt is also an annoyance to self host and the apps don’t support self hosted instances without you rebuilding them because the server is hardcoded.

        I believe it’s ~100mb. I don’t mind paying for more. That’s not an option on Revolt.

            Again, if you’re self-hosting, yes; If you’re using the default instance, no.

        It was 8mb then 25mb then 10mb now (for non-Nitro users)

      Just use croc to share files. Then size doesn’t matter.
