We have another event that invites people over to our side!
Please remember as people are looking for places to go to be kind. The reason Linux took so long to “take off” is because us linux folks (myself included) were proud of the high bar to entry. Encourage people to be curious, help them learn the ropes, don’t bog them down with technical details or the battles that have been taking place on X technology over Y technology. Offer an open easy place for them to come talk.
Once they get the foot in the door for a few months we can show them how awesome Linux is!
But X technology is inferior to Y technology and if they don’t know that they’re not real Linux users!!!
If we don’t warn them about it they’ll obviously be unhappy they should knowww!
(In reality they get confused, they leave, and then they keep using the corpo controlled version)
To be fair, Linux is in a super tough place right now as it shifts from a windowing system to a completely different one.
And guess which one of those windowing systems is very unfriendly to Discord…
I don’t use Discord for adult content, so it sounds like I won’t really be affected. But they’re sure as hell not getting my face or ID.
Neither do I, but from other platforms it’s only a matter of time until you’re prompted for it. You join a server where someone has posted something NSFW before, or the server admin “to be safe” set it to adults only, or they just clamp down on the definition of adults only. At some point I fully expect it’ll force me to.
I wonder if my MIL’s mugshot would be good enough.
What about the model reading your messages
Always assume anything you post outside of some messaging apps has hit the public domain and will be used, sold and targeted. This is scarcely a Discord-only problem.
This probably will end up being the case for most people
Until Discord starts classifying anything and everything as adult content, TikTok style. Can’t curse, can’t talk about any form of violence. Good luck talking about most video games when you can’t say “gun”, “kill” or “die”.
This is going to be such a pain in the ass. They already have had issues with security. This is such a massive can of worms
Perfect timing. They mailed me yesterday about them deleting my account soon for inactivity.
Fedicord when?
There’s IRC, and we could link to fedi content.
When it’s financially viable.
The incredible thing about federation is that it’s done in a volunteer basis despite the fact it isn’t financially viable. This is high praise for Lemmy, but not so much for Matrix.
I’m not sure 'in runs on unpaid labor’s is the flex you think it is.
That’s just a cute way of writing ‘it runs on exploitation’
I’m sorry if my comment wasn’t clear - I don’t believe I’m entitled to free things and free labor. I’m just surprised and humbled by the fact that so many people are willing to provide it.
ah crap, I play archipelago randomizers, and the communication, and notifications for updates are exclusively through discord.
they’re not getting my face or ID, but when we start to refer to the pokemon move water gun as water pew, I may need to stop.
Matrix it is, only had discord still for it’s widespread use
just say ‘doggo’ and ‘w00t’ and ‘roflmao’ a couple times and the AI will peg you as an elder millennial and leave you alone
