    please do show me a single messaging platform that can easily and sanely house a population of >50k people on the same server, and allows that for absolutely free, while providing reasonably high quality voice messaging and streaming with negligible latency

      While discord doesn’t necessarily cost money, it for sure also isn’t free. In fact it’s the reddit problem but way worse. A proprietary non-searchable database with all content fully licensed to discord including the right to sub-license. At least, Reddit had an API and is still searchable through their public facing http. I mean I get people don’t want their group messages readable by everyone, bit for large groups, it makes sense.

        No it does not.
        The Group chat is a chat.
        The public chat is basically a never ending forum post with 100 pages.

      Why would I ever want that?

      I can’t think of a single instance where I want to be messaging 50k people at once

          I am posting something publicly but I am not holding a conversation with all of you simultaneously

          If this was equivalent then you would have never seen my message due to the time between ours
