I personally wouldn't touch Discord with a 10 foot pole but figured any privacy-focused people who use it may want to know this.

Discord sux, switch to Matrix. You will thank me later 😉

Cant fully switch if everyone still using discord

Thank you for what? Moving to an empty platform that nobody I'm trying to communicate with uses? Then what's the point?

You should be the change that you want.

Obviously, create alt accounts so that you can talk to yourself.

I did bring it up to my small group of eFriends a while back but no traction.
Even then the other groups are a lost cause, unfortunately.

Yeah that happens a lot. I myself will not force my friends or family to uproot their online persona and change platforms just because I found a better alternative.

Because, I know that I'm not the only person they're using it for. They have their own social circles and I don't want to burden them to have to sacrifice or add an additional app just so they can satisfy my preference.

Wut? Matrix is buzzing in tech circles. I can admit that it's not very popular outside of tech and Foss, but these are the contexts we're discussing here.

Empty of my social circle, obviously.

Ask people to use it. Worked for me.
