I personally wouldn’t touch Discord with a 10 foot pole but figured any privacy-focused people who use it may want to know this.

If any FOSS project maintainers see this, please stop using Discord for your community.

What is your recommendation to use instead?

Matrix is one option, if you just want a chatroom, similar to IRC. An online forum, like Discourse (not discord) is even better, since it creates a searchable history of past discussions. That way, most users who face any issue with your software can solve it themselves based on past discussions.

Surely this means they have plans to fix screenshare audio on Linux, right? …Right?

I don’t use Discord but this is great for Flathub. It seems that the community is coalescing around flatpak as the distro-agnostic package manager for desktop Linux moving forward. The next biggest targets should be Steam (kinda sorta official already) and Spotify.

I would imagine VSCode stays a snap only app so long as Ubuntu is now Microsoft’s baby.
