Moving Away from Discord Permanently
a month ago
Well, it's happened.
I think it's safe to say I am never going to get my account back, and for what is worth I think it's going to be a good thing in the long run. This may come across as copium, and it kind of is, but Discord has been in decline since arguably 2019. The program is more bells and whistles than it is functionality, crashing constantly, throwing pop ups, chugging GPU, and recently I discovered it's partially owned by Tencent, so that adds more to the pile of reasons not to use it.
It is a bummer to lose all my contacts in one swift move, but I've been reconnecting with everyone over the last couple of weeks, and hopefully I'll reconnect with more as time goes on. This is perhaps the worst security breach I've ever experienced, and while I take responsibility for clicking the wrong link, Discord should know better and not let their customer service in the hands of bots and AI.
I have been using Telegram since then, and so far it has been pretty good. It's not as neatly organised as Discord, but everything else is better, especially in terms of performance. If you want to add me there, my username is jamescorck.
I have also been using something called Element, which is exactly like Discord but if it was an empty warehouse. It's very barebones and very empty, but it has good sound quality for calls, good connection, no drops, and performance wise it's also good.
You can download Element here.
My username there is @jamescorck
If you had any commission work pending from me, please reach out. DM here or anywhere else, I'm not exactly difficult to find. But from this point on, Discord is dead. And to be honest, good riddance.

Here's hoping Element gains the underground popularity to draw everyone from Discord
