If you're paying for discord nitro, consider paying for a hosted/managed matrix server instead (matrix.org)

To make it clear to those who are misunderstanding: that's a list of companies that host matrix for you. They do it at a good price.

If you and your friends chip, it'll be a few bucks a pop per month to have your own private server with voice chat rooms and video chat rooms.

It's all opensource and contributes to the ecosystem. Best of all, no age verification because the data is yours.

Cooool. Now just convince everyone else on discord and we're good.

What's that, you say? You can't? You're still trying to convince people to get off Facebook after 10 years? Huh.

With that attitude no one would ever move. It takes time to change

It also isn't going to come by just abandoning a platform and no longer interacting with the communities on it. Torpedoing my ability to communicate with my friends doesn't make them all change platforms.
