I suppose the next question is where will everyone go? If they wanted to keep kids safe this ain’t it because they’ll go somewhere else anyways. So it’s a lose/lose for everyone.
Possibly a win for companies if they want to harvest data/sell it.
yeah i actually just discovered this revival right before posting my comment. It’s really neat! Xfire and Discord are always linked in my mind, because i literally first installed Discord because my friends were moving over from Xfire. These days, Steam Chat can do almost everything that Xfire did, so there isn’t REALLY a reason for it to exist. But i love seein that ancient UI.
The only times I’ve ever used Discord are for things that really should have been on a forum, issue tracker, or something like a lemmy community in the first place.
I hope this causes a return to sanity, but I’m not holding my breath.
Ima be honest here. The last messaging service I used was Facebook back in 2012 prior to discord. And prior to Facebook was MSN messenger lol I really just don’t know what’s available. I’ll have to go do some reading

I had like 2 friends back in my CS 1.6 days that insisted on Xfire, but I paid for a Mumble server shortly after that. Might self host one again…
Xfire was the shit. Messenging while gaming? Automatic game status set? Absolute mind blowing
Uh…anywhere? There are plenty of alternatives that are less bloated and less shitty and faster.
I honestly don’t even know why people use it.

IRC is still alive and well, team speak for voice chats. Hell, Nextcloud even has these, as well as video calls.
XMPP
