Sure are a lot of tech companies seemingly speedrunning their self-destruction right now. Is there something in the water in the SF?
On a more serious note, Discord has always been mediocre. Makes me sad that the third-party client(!), Ripcord, is more or less abandonware. Being able to monitor just the specific channels you’re interested in is infinitely better than being forced to use servers wholesale given it’s near impossible to keep an eye on one at a time beyond notifications – which are clumsy at best. But for how useful that is, not having access to things like spoiler tags, most voip (and all video related) stuff really limits its practical use.
You can select which channels you’re interested in in Discord now (though maybe it’s not enabled by default for all servers yet?). I want to be able to see all those channels in a single place instead of clicking between servers but 🤷

That’s precisely what Ripcord does so well! I can hardly fathom how decision-making works at Discord, given all the random bells and whistles they add, but not a core feature like this.
Usually I’d think this was just another case of developers not using their own product, but I mean … they hardly use slack, do they?
Higher interest rates have meant that investors now have better things to invest in. If you aren’t profitable now, you need to get profitable soon because VC money is going to get a lot harder to find.

Oh well.

If this were free software, someone would probably have already picked it up and continued development of it.
