This whole problem wouldn't exist if we used distributed chat protocols which have been around for over 40 years (IRC). With the added benefit of having an open specification and multiple implementations. No walled gardens.

And if you think IRC is too old for the modern world take a look at matrix or xmpp.

How did we let discord take over is a mystery to me, or rather a tragedy.
