I swear to God I fucking hate Discord with all of the passion in my god damn heart.
I can't even get away from it with some amount of confidence:

- SMS isn't an option -- the Chinese are inside the grid
- XMPP is extremely unfriendly to new users
- Matrix is a mixed bag, official implementation is the Google Chrome of the Matrix world
- IRC is too dated, it has none of the modern features Discord people like, like no permanent channels out of the box
Listen, I've stated my hatred for Discord multiple times, I have tried to get friends off of it for *years* nothing fucking works. You can go ahead and look at me as a chud if you really want, but I'm a normal person and I expect others would probably experience very similar experiences if they try converting their friends away from Discord.

@nyanide I struggled to even get most of the team who made my game on to discord and off Facebook. I had to make another Facebook account to keep in contact with them.
Most people really do not want to download another thing even if the thing they currently use isn't the best
