    Is every single shitty corporation going to fuck with the Linux garden now? I’m concerned.

    I do wish they’d publish a proper apt repo instead of making me install the .deb everytime.

    I don’t like them as a company, but If Discord gives a shit enough to invest in the Linux client to capture more users, Linux is on the right track to grow even more. They don’t care about Linux current user base. They want the user base of what it can become.

        Same. If only there were another Discord-like client that my friends were willing to use. I tried getting them onto Stoat, but I’m starting to lose faith that Stoat can become the next Discord.

          Fluxer is sitting RIGHT there looking at you like yer blind. Stoat literally will never go anywhere. Its made zero fucking progress basically since day 1 is ran by idiots and smalls like a scam from a mile away.

          The fact anyone has even remotely considered stoat is honestly concerning.

          Try Cinny or Sable (slightly buggier fork of Cinny with more features.) They’re Matrix clients that look close enough to discord.

            Or just use fluxer? If you want a discord clone why the fuck are you trying to make a totally different program behave like discord. That defeats the entire purpose of matrix.

            Just go use an actual clone.

              Moving from discord to fluxer, stoat, etc, is like moving from shitter to bluesky. All centralized platforms will eventually go to shit.

    I checked a few months ago, and having never deleted them, had racked up multiple gigabytes of Discord updates in my downloads directory

    i would think they would just focus on the flatpak instead of distro specific formats? and, i know there’s an issue with audio sharing apps on pipewire, is that fixed?

    but with all the ID crap etc and alternative apps getting pretty good (eying fluxer) maybe i will just jump to another app.

    still great to see good discord improvements.

    Yes, and? Do you expect anyone to head to YT for such an information-free headline?
