I don't think people on this sub use it, but it's great news for us. The worse it gets the likelier people move on.

I think the only way to get an open-source Discord is to recreate discord (their backend).

https://spacebar.chat/

granted it's a slow process but it can pay off if done right. I contribute what little I can to the project, as my Typescript is not the best and Discord knowledge even less.

Discord has a monopoly on the organized group chat platform, there isn't a competent competitor, or at least none I'm aware of

The website will ask for a user streaming to do something in-game or play a specific game while others are watching to probably earn something either in-game or in Discord.

I feel this is fine, the "streamer" can decide to do this tasks or not. And can disable receiving the tasks at all in settings.

Yeah I don't think it is actually going to be particularly intrusive visually. It is based on data on games you play and stuff so one could argue that is intrusive. It's 6 months from now as they start getting more bold and greedy. The ads will get worse, they always do.
