Do you think that the fediverse has something to gain with the enshitfication of discord? Are there voice chat programs in the fediverse that can benefit from it?

    I am pretty sure that you can get a dozen of commercial XMPP providers who will offer the same quality of service, but won’t cancel your account if you dare to use a “non-official” client

    The problem with Discord is not that it’s paid, the problem that is closed and creates a walled garden.

      But XMPP doesnt have any gaming focused features, no screensharing iirc, no group calls.

        Xmpp is by design, an extensible protocol. There just doesn’t seem to be any motivation to develop for it.
