On one hand I think people shouldn’t use Discord anyway, but also, we need to figure out how to make the services we use sustainable.

we can start by not relying on startups and corporations at all.
federated solutions like lemmy or matrix have the advantage of not being a capitalist scam with conmen at the top. i’m sure better decisions will be made here when we need more money.
You’re right, but even Lemmy is reliant on donations
reddit was relying on donations and banner ads for the longest time too. i honestly don’t think a text-based forum will be that expensive to run until its very full of people, i guess well see how instances react over time to an increasing userbase.
