    To earn rewards, users must stream themselves, completing an in-game task from the advertiser while at least one friend is watching. Users who watch their friends can then set off on quests of their own.

    Yeah this won’t go well at all…

    Is there a fediverse-like equivalent alternative to Discord?

    Is there a chat app that can be self hosted, but interact with a web of other instances, and has web, mobile, and app interfaces?

    Something with dm, group, voice chat, screen sharing capabilities?

      I believe it’s called matrix. Only problem is there is no 0 percent chance I’ll convince anyone I play games with to switch off discord unless the ads hurt there frames lol.

        Thanks!

        I’ve been wanting to move off of discord for a while

        Discords been showing signs of Skype-ification for a while, and the ads seal the deal.

        I imagine the same feeling for a number of others too, I’ll be convincing my friends to switch.

        Fuck ads in my chat.

            I appreciate the suggestion. I’ve actually never been a big fan of Discord so finding something that’s a bit different will be nice.

          The site has all current clients so I’d recommend checking it. As for me, I use Element X. It’s not bad, the only annoying thing is that it’s always asking me to turn on chat backup but when I do it encounters an error. But besides this, it’s alright, it does everything I need it to do.

    Hey Discord, tell us how you don’t respect your users without actually saying it.
