There’s several FOSS projects that I engage with that use discord pretty much exclusively and as such I’m locked out of the community. Like Home Assistant.
I really don’t understand why they use it for FOSS projects that are all focused on privacy (home assistant for example focuses on using home automation without cloud so your data doesn’t end up everywhere). And then lock you in to such a privacy-hostile service to communicate with them, when actually great alternatives are available like Matrix/Element.
YESSS. I so wish this would be considered more.
