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. @[email protected] 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
