MP#120 - Firebomb Your Computer

About this episode

The episode discusses alternatives to Discord and the state of gaming communication platforms.

Plz join my Steam group (and try Valour) GAMERS, this isn't the first time we've commented on a Discord exodus, but with some luck it may be the last. @Dielan@shitposter.world actually spent a while looking into the state of Discord alternatives, three of which we will go into some depth in this episode. Stuff referenced: Dielan's effortpost Discord's verification partner might be evil Xbox has a new AI-first CEO Our Steam group THE FOSS ALTERNATIVES: Valour - Melonmancy's choice of FOSS Discord alternative Fluxer - Some kid in Sweden made a shot-for-shot Discord clone Stoat - maybe it's abandonware, or maybe the devs hiding something Obligatory: Listen to the new episode here!
