@xgranade EXACTLY THAT!

#Discord is like #MicrosoftTeams a "Shitty #App that tries to be a jack of all trades, and thus is a master if none!"

• #IRC, #XMPP+ #OMEMO ( #gajim & #moniclesChat), #PGP/MIME ( #deltaChat), #Zulip and #RocketChat exist for good #TextChat.

• #JitsiMeet offers #Vieocalling and #ScreenSharing and #Mumble offers #VoiceChat…

Instead if one #Bloatware, multiple smaller tools can do the same aspects better.

• People don't expect #Thunderbird to be a spreadsheet program nor do people expect #LibreOffice to be a good #Browser or #Firefox on it's own to be a good IDE to develop Linux Kernel Drivers!

That inevitably hits pressure from folks who are, rightly or wrongly, averse to having more applications and services in their world. If you set up a family Discord "server," that may not require them to create a new account.

But I think there's ways to solve that without concentrating corporate power, and that those ways look more like federation than anything else. E.g. if your project forums run on Lemmy, folks can use their Lemmy accounts from other servers.
