just like we had lemmygrad.ml as an alternative for Reddit, we need to have an alternative for discord. discord’s new policies have been supressing servers and members left and right. Now there are some options that I want to present here

Guilded: Basically very nice UI, it’s completely free most nitro features of discord are completely free on Guilded. it has got more features that discord doesn’t have the only issue is that it is gaming centric and majority communities are related to gaming

Revolt: Github open source like lemmy same features as discord, good UI, there are some features like that it lacks but upcoming and promising.

slack and matrix are trash don’t fall for it

If somehow discord server gets banned, you would be thanking me for this.

thank you for reading and upvoting

      Imma be real, fighting against NSA and Silicon Valley is hopeless regardless

      Even if you’re using Tails and encrypted messaging like Matrix, they will still easily track you down if they want to. It’s happened before. You think they care about warrants? Backdoors? They’re already all in place.

      The average person will never take measures anywhere close as secure to this

      You say the more layers between you the better you’ll be but that’s not true. The moment you step out of line like those dumbasses on Twitter saying they want to start a revolution or be like Second Thought and make widespread messages, you’ll be tracked down and get feds knocking on your door

      They already won on the media front, technological front (security, surveillance, censorship, access, data, everything), and ideological front

      Talking about sensitive stuff is completely meaningless right now. Maybe try in like 50 years when the average person is homeless and starving. Conditions are nowhere near ready, especially when you consider the most insane propaganda campaign that they have won, are currently winning, and will continue winning

      Just shitpost and hand out food and supplies to your fellow citizens or smth

          I just don’t think it’s a good use of time or effort for 99.99999% of people to larp

          Only useful for bourgeoisie class traitors, journalists, people with large followings (like BayArea previously, Max Blumenthal, etc.) etc.

              I actually didn’t even read your original comment past the complaint about downvoting until you mentioned OP was downvoting everybody in the 2nd comment so I went back to read what it was about lol

              Also lol at thinking a VPN in Switzerland is making it difficult for them. Read about Crypto AG https://www.swisscommunity.org/en/news-media/swiss-review/article/the-cia-used-a-swiss-company-to-spy-on-over-100-countries

              If anything, all your measures are making you easier to detect and pick out from the crowd of noise

              There is no hiding

                  Security by bureaucratic red tape huh? I’ve never heard of anything like this before. I hope it works out for you comrade

                  These are the words to live by. Although I know I can’t totally stop them but yeah I can go as far as making it so hard for them that it is not a viable option (to acquire my data) anymore
