Wayland and audio is fixed, but only on the canary branch for the moment, this isnt lazy either, they changed the whole screenshare flow to suit linux's permission prompts

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Sorry but I don't really care about discord news on Linux...
Right on! People should only share news articles that pertain to my interests.
Discord is related to linux as much as the facebook app is.
Well, except perhaps for the fact that Discord has a Linux version, while the Facebook App doesn't.
And—clearly!—it seems rather popular as well.
It's related because it's news about discord changing something related to linux
I reply here :
I do
I encourage you to switch to better interests

Okay, great, now convince 30+ other people I chat with on the service
Yes I know it sucks and will just keep on enshittifying, but it's not so much as it being a replaceable social media for me, as it is a primary way for me to keep in contact with partners, friends, finding out about and participating in arrangements, and meeting new people in my local area. Stopping using discord is effectively cutting myself off from the local communities
Everyone in my social circle uses it, and will keep on using it. Maybe once some breaking point is reached due to ever increasing enshittification people will start being interested in alternatives, but we're far from that point still
Show them the link and encourage them to move to better platforms

I can't even get them to use mastodon or Lemmy, they're not gonna go to an alternative discord
Discord is not as good and accessible as you may think. Most matrix homeservers aren't going to ask you for phone verification, some don't even require a mail. You can always join yourself and find other friends there.
and matrix doesnt have a functional voice call across clients atm

Me too, yet we click and decided to reply.^^
I'm happy for others, plus it makes life easier for those who expect a working Discord like on Windows.
Absolutely okay but we shouldn't be specially happy of discord being well integrated in Linux. The only good point is that it helps to grow the reach of Linux to mainstream users
