But I disagree, and all of the issues with Discord I pointed out above still persist despite your love for the UX. > Instead of bashing library authors that have already so much to think I never bashed library authors. > why don't you propose a discord replacement and pay for it I engage in communities that use Zulip and Matrix. Zulip is free for open-source projects [1], and I donate to a small community that hosts its own Matrix server. > while providing the same ease of use for the users and the same features from channels, threads, third party apps/plugins, video conferencing, etc?
