I just abruptly switched to Matrix and encouraged anyone who wanted to get a hold of me to do the same, held my ground and did not look back, now a good handful of my friends have a Matrix account.
I joined a Matrix group, and the UX frustrated one person so much, they just quit. Kinda surprised me some people care about UX that much. I guess I'm used to using software developed by hobbyists, lol.
Same.
If someone isn't willing to take a minimum amount of effort to stay in contact with me, then I'm not losing much if I don't ever talk to them again. They don't have to quit Discord, they just have to find me elsewhere.
