With discord planning to show ads, how can the fediverse/lemmy benefit from another proprietary program making itself worse? (Like it was with reddit) (lemmy.world)

Do you think that the fediverse has something to gain with the enshitfication of discord? Are there voice chat programs in the fediverse that can benefit from it?

Let me be the idiot who answers your rhetorical question: No, Signal is centralised AF.

The server software was able to federate but Moxie Marlinspike in his walled-garden wisdom decided it "degraded the user experience" (ie. hindered him onboarding a userbase to his shitty cryptocurrency). https://github.com/LibreSignal/LibreSignal/issues/37#issuecomment-217339450
