    gollark: I don't like Discord because it's closed source and a proprietary platform.
    gollark: You can just not use it, assuming you haven't already moved a bunch of your communication to it,
    gollark: Some people care and can't really do much, but the majority of Facebook users appear to just happily use Facebook (or Facebook-owned services like WhatsApp) regardless of what horrible stuff they do.
