With discord planning to show ads, how can the fediverse/lemmy benefit from another proprietary program making itself worse? (Like it was with reddit) (lemmy.world)

Do you think that the fediverse has something to gain with the enshitfication of discord? Are there voice chat programs in the fediverse that can benefit from it?

Instead of the fediverse, it would be good if users switched to Revolt instead. Or maybe we can make a federated discord alternative, though Revolt was talking about federation a while ago.

Audio?

Signal app is great. Would that be a better alternative? Or is that too niche for Discord users?

is signal part of the fediverse?

This will be an unpopular opinion here, but Discord is worth paying for and I do. Obviously, everyone's usage will differ, but I use it for video and voice chat for several hours a week and I can count on one hand the number of hours that have been disrupted by discord service outage. That kind of value is worth paying for imho.

A decentralized Discord alternative... federated?!

Arweave... as an idea... or Hive/Peakd...

Memo.cash like technology.

Member.cash (defunct website... built on memo.cash tech)

Federated chats...

Session like technology...

Nostr like technologies...

It seems technically feasible.

Or like d.live (?) But only for sound (?)

Signal like technology if open source (?)
