- Comment on Discord CEO steps down, replaced with former Activision Blizzard CSO as they work towards being a public company 5 weeks ago:
Quit discord last year. Moved my core friend group onto Signal.
Potential alternatives and their issues:
- Guilded: owned by Roblox, faces same data/privacy concerns
- Discourse: backed by venture capital, same as above
- Revolt: slow development, no game streaming, otherwise decent
- Matrix: high technical barrier of entry, but promising.
If you’re looking to kick discord as well:
For game streaming, try Parsec (with their echo cancellation trick)
For movie/video streaming, try Hyperbeam.

But can it run Doom?
- Comment on Developers keep Spotify Car Thing alive with custom firmware 6 months ago:
Hah. When they first came out, I had a feeling this would happen. I bought 3 when they were on sale.
Its genuinely useful in my old car, but it has incredible potential for all kinds of random gadgets. One already serves as a little desktop controller for my audio at work.
- Comment on Nintendo shuts down Ryujinx 7 months ago:
Matrix does not have seamless desktop sharing or voice chat, and has a drastically higher executive cost. It also does not solve the information silo issue.
The fediverse as a whole is promising but likely needs to mature a bit longer. Theres a lot of potential issues that have yet to be worked through.
- Comment on Nintendo shuts down Ryujinx 7 months ago:
Yeah, this is a big part of why I stopped using discord recently. Not yet sure of any alternatives but leaving is step one.
- Comment on Raspberry Pi is now a public company 11 months ago:
I’ve seen around half a dozen from various YouTube tech creators but they’ve all involved some level of compromise
