It’s funny because the meta quest recently had an update that got rid of custom/user created environments for the home area and only gave you some shitty options. The default one was a shitty balcony that overlooked a big stupid tower advertising this and they made the “portal” to it permanent and unremoveable.
In addition to this almost every time you opened a menu it would pop up a fucking ad/link to enter the application almost every time.
Pretty sure now this was a desperate last ditch effort to try to increase traffic - but clearly NO ONE wanted it and it just pissed everyone off more.
If they want to save face to any degree they should revert that fucking patch ASAP. I miss my home environment being a fucking derelict warehouse.

On desktop I just turned off the compatibility settings for proton and then reinstalled. Steam cloud held all my saves and they were unaffected.

Revolt chat.

For sure, in my case it is important to me as I am heavily involved with a lot of small streamer communities, and discord is the all-encompassing product which nearly all streamers use for announcements and updates, community projects, and sharing any non-stream content that is not a video.
Depending on how this goes with discord, this could be incredibly damaging to so many of these communities and I would really hate to see that.

The article states that it is opt-out and that there would be a toggleable setting to turn it off, but if they are going this way it does not bode well.
For anyone like me looking for an application with the same aesthetic feel and general functionality as discord (if Matrix chat does not suit you), then take a look at revolt chat github.com/revoltchat.
It’s basically an open source discord clone that looks almost identical, but lacks some of the more advanced features of discord.
