They supposedly can be disabled in settings- but we all know that won’t last. They’re going full Microsoft Skype mode and it’s only a matter of time.

    This may actually push users into thinking about modding discord, or even better, switching to matrix

    Good move discord, I like it

      I never stopped using irc (I know I’m old). There is matrix to irc connectors that are awesome. One of the benefits of open source is a lot of the protocols work well together.

        Can you recommend any IRC channels for techies please? I like infosec, Linux, and Mac topics but I can’t find any communities that aren’t turbo-clicky or dead. Most channels I’ve found are like ham radio: a bunch of old grumpy people ragchewing. I’d like an actual conversation I can contribute to.

          Not Rizon - Linux. I asked them a noob question and they banned me. Kind of irked me because I was just asking for help or opinion. I don’t even remember what I asked.

    Imagine using discord without Vencord, I’m sure someone will add a plug-in to remove all its crap at least I hope so, it already has some really good ones that give you access to free nitro bs.

      Is that similar to betterdiscord? I’m not the most tech literate but I’ve used that with plugins for tabs and whatnot. If there’s a plugin for universal emojis I’d be sold

        Pretty much yes, the plug-in you are looking for is called FakeNitro and it will give you the quality streams and the emotes for free.
