    The feature is still DOA. Most people are moving to other alternatives like Fluxer.

    Discord will kill themselves if they continue with this nonsense.

      "Most people?" Do you have a source for that claim?

        It doesn't have to be "most" is just has to be "many". As everyone knows, it is all about growth and gaining users for these companies. Having a shrinking pool of users rather than a growing one is the kiss of death.

          This would be a moved goalpost from the idea that “most” people are leaving discord.

          We’ve been saying these things about Mastodon and Blue Sky for a long time but they’ve also remained niche.

          Discord really isn’t going anywhere anytime soon.
