You clearly don't have Discord.
I think the devs know at this point people are gonna keep using it no matter what for the foreseeable future.
How else are you gonna talk to you friends? You really wanna be "that friend" who forces everyone else to download another program and make a new account?
They'll only fix issues if it shows up on a financial report.
I'm literally that friend! Just yesterday I set up a mumble server (it's called murmur!) purely out of disgust towards discord.
I've already made a Matrix account and talked to a few of my more paranoid friends about switching over.
But most of my gaming buddies are mostly content putting up with Discords shit for now.
The issue with matrix is it's unreliable. Text works, because it doesn't really matter if it arrives a minute or so late. Everything else kind of really sucks. The inability to decrypt my chats on all devices every now and then just straight up pisses me off. And they're not newly added devices - all of them have been signed into at the time of messages getting delivered!
That shit has so incompetent devs that they're updating the fucking .deb file instead of using the internal updater to push every update.
An entire update used to be something worthy, now it's all worthless.
That's all handled by Electron, which doesn't support the auto updater on Linux.

Though I don't know if discord uses this specifically or rolls their own. Discord seems to auto update just fine until it's time for a bootstrap update.
Ok but why so many bootstrap update when the most basic shit like "screen sharing with audio" is broken?
There's a secret json option to disable bootstrap updates. The flatpak turns this on.
Lol .... I never update it until I need it because I noticed it is perpetually updating. I only ever use it maybe one or twice a month so I don't update it until I actually want to use it.
