I'm hearing that #Discord has joined the #enshittifcation bandwagon..
Any ideas how to convince my friends who are heavy Discord users (I never could like it) but don't want to hear about the #Fediverse to join us?

I don't know if the fedi can replace the things that discord did? At least not at the moment.

Discord allowed people to create social media with a real sens of space. You could "go" to a server and find people hanging out there. There was a place to put files, and a place for side conversations. It had the feel of a local coffee house or club house with a book shelf and media library.

I understand why people like it.

@David, I've seen @wafflesies brought that question too and apparently there are some problems with alternatives if they want *everything* what Discord offers. So I guess the best match would depend on why exactly they are using it

@futurebird@sauropods.win @David@setouchi.social Another factor is that Discord is familiar and economic, even though it's a terrible solution for a lot of communities. There's a reason so many small projects have discord servers instead of websites: How else can one immediately and easily set up an online space with a familiar interface that almost everyone knows how to use, the ability to collect hosted files, threads, chatrooms, bulletin boards, and forums into a single entity with those things added and categorized as needed, with no technical expertise needed and free unlimited hosting no matter how big the community gets? This is what we're competing against, immense convenience at the cost of community sovereignty.

Probably deltaChat and element\matrix can be able to fill that gap.

In general terms:
"It's the decentralized, independent setup, stupids!"
