But a true easy to use discord alternative is still not there.
wdym there's been good alternatives to Discord for decades.
This is just not true at all, only recently have alternatives started to spring up that even get close to the number of features and level of polish that discord has (note, discord still has plenty of issues, I'm not saying its perfect)
Easy buttons cost money. Free takes some work.
I don't know man, deal with it
OK? I was just commenting on the state of the situation, there's nothing to "deal with"?
Fluxer exists and is a near 1:1 drop in replacement.
It's current only real problem is the servers are overloaded. But it has a self host option to bypass that very problem.
Waiting for a C&D from Discord. I'm avoiding on that premise alone.
Yeah, this is FUD. Not even Microsoft could patent an interface.
?
It's developed by a previous discord developer and looks exactly like Discord. Only a matter of time before they shut it down if it gains enough traction.
Its developed by a kid out of uni and discord doesnt own the UI style.
They make profit off of that UI style and that's all that really matters. Only a matter of time as I said.
