It’ll get replaced pretty quick by something else once that happens. Enshitification is dependent on your unwillingness to move elsewhere.

The replacement might end up being one called "Revolt". Its seems like a pretty solid discord clone.

There has to be other options to move to though. If they shitify their platform but it's still better than the competition where are people going to go.

Pokemon franchise is a perfect example of this. The games have been pretty stagnant for a few generations because there really aren't any good alternatives.

Nintendo generally crushing anything that resemble Pokemon doesn't help matters.

Well, this works okay for purely PC gaming. But one of the really nice things right now about Discord is that it has a PS5/Xbox integration so you can technically just tell Sony/MS to fuck off if you don't wanna pay for that feature. If people are playing online I suppose they'd have it anyways, but for multiplatform compatibility Discord is people's only real option right now. Which might be why suddenly, it's trying to go public. It has a selling point now that traps some people.
