    And an alternative to Discord?

    A chatroom isn’t hard to replace, but the video/voice calling on Discord is what keeps people there.

      Signal should evolve to have discord-like channels and servers. I think it’d be brilliant.

        Please don’t.

        I am aware what Discord is for and respect it but it’s ectic to be in a Discord room. Signal does not need it.

        Yes they should. Having business and gaming communities using it also helps the journalists and activists that use it to stay safe by normalizing its use
