what does this have to do with gamergate? If you smell the same thing everywhere you go, you might want to check under your nose.

You must be new the internet was toxic before their was an internet. I've seen BBS fights where people would find out where someone lived and shoot up the place, set it on fire or attack another person. Some BBS scenes attracted some shady characters.

People speaking out against immoral behavior and people in power/media trying to cover it up by dismissing their claims and trying to undermine their argument by misrepresentation? Gamergate was just the internet hitting a critical mass of people where the clamoring of people was big enough to make news outside of the bubble.

The ways that data has been weaponized to amplify insecure people's fear of social change and "others" in order to vote against their own economic interests are novel and fascinating. Yes, obviously the pattern has played out before the internet. But if you approach it with curiosity rather than writing it off because it looks similar on the surface to something you've seen before, it's actually very interesting.

#9Matrix/Element seems the best drop-in replacement for Discord. Can set up chatrooms in Discord "server"-style, or as persistent DMs with others. In the chatrooms, you can make text chat spaces and call spaces. No dedicated voice chat space, you just dont turn on webcam for the call spaces. Pretty sure it uses same voip tech. Selfhostable if you want. Encrypted. Really it is just a barebones but functional Discord. Matrix can be bridged to Discord as well so you can talk between either, should help ease the transition period for anyone jumping ship.

Stoat, Zulip, and Mattermost are other options.
Element was a bit too raw for me - mobile wasn’t great either. Ymmv
