people really say things like "when will people stop using discord" as if it's an inevitability whenever discord rolls out a bad feature and it makes no fucking sense to me. personally I won't stop using discord unless another chat platform comes out that meets all of these criteria:
it lets us be plural. I cannot fucking stress how much of a necessity this is. there is no other chat platform I know of that lets us express ourselves as individuals using the same account. pluralkit isn't perfect but there's nothing else like it anywhere else
it has a robust api so that users can develop bots to execute functionality not natively provided by the platform itself
it lets me organize discussions into different categories so I can opt in or out of topics
all my friends are on it (THIS IS WHY PEOPLE KEEP USING DISCORD!!!!!!)
