I don’t see reporting on this from any reputable sources. If this were true, every major blog covering tech and gaming would be all over it. All I can find is random YouTube channels and nobody websites discussing it.

I’m not gonna pay it any attention until there’s reliable evidence they’re actually planning on doing this.

Do we have concrete proof of this happening now or in the near future? Does the video provide any? I need to know whether to sound the alarm now, or wait till there’s something concrete to show people. (You can probably understand my hesitation to share a scarily titled YT video as my only proof)

This was a wtf moment for me. Even though Discord’s privacy isn’t the best, and even though it’s proprietary, Discord has been seemingly loyal to its user base, even doing cool stuff like offering a Linux version of the app. However, if this becomes mandatory, I will promptly leave, I am horrified that they have fallen this low.

Yikes, we gotta get on improving Element and Matrix as a replacer ASAP. My apologies for shillery, I don’t normally hock FOSS alternatives in the comments but I view this sort of offense by Discord as a militant action level of threat.

Matrix takes Donations LINK

Element offers product packages for developers/hosts LINK

There are also other services aside from Element with similar functionality so check those out too.

EDIT: Also Matrix is on Github LINK

Oh shit, I gotta finish looking for that bot that will copy my discord channels and their content (pictures, links) to my matrix
