I knew enshitification wasn't far, since Discord has investors now.
I guess we can start looking for an alternative.
Alternatives that move us backwards towards the old days are things like TeamSpeak/Mumble/Ventrilo.
Alternatives that are similar to Discord and not owned by a for-profit company are:
A huge missing piece of almost all not-for-profit alternatives is a lack of low-latency game streaming / screen streaming. The best Matrix gets is running a jitsi meet. I think Matrix is the only one that theoretically could work for some users because Discord bridges allow people who are finally fed up to move to Matrix for text chat.
It's difficult, though.
