whats the point of discord alternative if none of my wow friends will get off discord?
That's the thing I am having problems with currently
I told my friends that I am ditching Discord. I gave them my matrix ID and deleted the account. It was also a test of who cares about me as a person.
You would have stayed on discord if you cared about them.
they would leave discord if they cared about yours and their privacy
How many cared?
All my close friends, so 9 people. It's a good test for friendships too. If they can't bother to create an account on Matrix for you, do you think they will do something more in the future when you need them?
Thats some quality friends you got there
