Discord enshittification

by
Discord keeps adding more and more crap I can't turn off. This time it's AI meme tools on every image.

Does anyone know any good alternatives? That don't require a phone number, mind you.

There's plenty of Discord alternatives out there, but the biggest issue is whether or not people use them.
The two best alternatives I would recommend at this time are Revolt (which has a familiar UI to Discord) and Matrix.  
Both services have most, if not all of, Discord's feature set that's relevant at least.

Matrix is the preferred alternative as it is fully FOSS, but for our purposes, we can't depend on using matrix.org accounts and servers, which complicates matters.

The real problem, of course, is getting anyone to USE anything else. :/ I looked at Revolt, I'll check out Matrix.

I haven't noticed any changes to Discord.
Some time ago I tried the alternatives, and they all had the same problem: there is nobody there

AI image remix tools that cannot be disabled either per-user or per-server is the latest fuckshitulousness.

I hadn't noticed those, but I guess you can simply ignore them. They don't really interfere with the function of Discord.

Artists who post their work to their Patreon-linked Discords can't ignore them.

I didn't think of that. Honestly, I didn't know what those buttons did until you pointed them out.

Now that I see it, I understand why it's a problem for artists, since anyone can do dumb shit with their images, like face swap or edit. It really makes no sense.
