I did find a wikipedia article to that, and it still seems legitimately more sensible than using Discord for any reason other than gaming-related peer pressure
You are literally doing exactly what the meme was about lol. A discord alternative may simply not be a viable alternative for their needs, if no one is using it.
First of all, public forums are a thing, they work flawlessly and provide information to people without needing to sign in, which is my top issue with Discord. And why I actually want FOSS.
Among other things, some I already mentioned, Discord isn’t even all that big, you can say Facebook has 3 bil users, let’s all go there.
But the meme is about people who can’t escape, avoiding Discord is not only possible, but specifically for support advisable, and I would argue that it’s not even that hard.
I personally have used Discord about three times before I just selfhosted Jitsi. Never understood why people want to use it so much. For chat I use Matrix since 2018.
Public forums serve a different purpose to a live chat. Actually what I’m seeing a lot in the comments is people making assumptions about what the purpose of the discord server is, and from those assumptions then conclude that it would be easy to use something else. Some assume that they use it for documentation (???), some assume it’s for technical support. But usually what I see, is that these kinds of servers are just an attempt to build a community. And for building a community in the tech space, discord has by far the biggest user base for a chat solution (unless you really think there are more target audience using Facebook messenger, than discord?)
Why stop there? Do the open source apps you’re advocating run on Windows or Nvidia drivers? You could get upset about them too, because they’re also one step removed from something closed source.
Project wiki >>>>>>>>…>>>>> discord >> communication via carrier pigeons
I think you’re being a little unfair, communication via carrier pigeons is a valid solution as it outpaces IPv4/IPv6 carriers to this day
Uh, what about tcp/ip over pigeon?

?
?
On one hand pigeons are cute…
And I don’t think there’s anything on the other hand.
What about the pigeon poop?
That would also be on the hand with the pigeons.
Are a wiki and a discord mutually exclusive? They seem to fill very different roles.
They also seem to be mutually exclusive considering how much more prevalent Discord seems to be.
while yes, there are many BETTER alternatives already disponible
Then it sounds like all that’s left to do is get 150 million people to use them.
Then don’t brag about being 100% FOSS supporter…
Also 150M people may use it, 8 billion people can’t index it or do an advanced search, so fuck them.

I have no idea what kind of software this even is, so possibly could be better to use Facebook for all I care.
You can build community everywhere, and I have no idea why are people acting like Discord is the best place for it.
Why stop there? Do the open source apps you’re advocating run on Windows or Nvidia drivers? You could get upset about them too, because they’re also one step removed from something closed source.
Do they allow you to use Windows and NVidia or do they require you to use those?
The software in the screenshot doesn’t require you to use Discord, but that’s not good enough there.
What? What specifically are you responding to?
None of this made any sense in this context. Are you replying to the correct post?
People did improve society, they made Matrix and XMPP.
The seatbelts already exist, you just need to use them.
This is the worst use of this meme I have ever seen.
Matrix really isn’t that hard.
No, but you’re gonna scare away a lot of people who don’t wanna bother with it
