#discord IS LITERALLY THE PROBLEM!

It's worse than any #IRC, #Mumble or even the old #TeamSpeak & #Skype for that matter.
It combines the disadvantages of #Forum, #paywalled #documentation, #chat and #voicechat with 0 redeeming qualities (unlike #Zulip & Mumble & #XMPP+#OMEMO) it's just an #InformationBlackhole!

I'm shure fecking #dread has better moderation and I'd rather use #MicrosoftTeams + #Slack cuz those at least have proper #moderation tools.

And I'd rather subscribe to the #LKML and see my inbox getting hosed than using any shitty #SaaS!

Case in point: I'd rather #SelfHost all my comms infrastructure than to ever use something like Discord or any other #GDPR-violating SaaS that is just enshittification.

I'd rather recommend people to instead choose a tool that does everything but horrible to go with multiple smaller & good tools

Public Chat? IRC!
Group Voicechat? Mumble.
#Documentation? #mkDocs-material.
1:1 Chats? XMPP+OMEMO.
E2EE Group Chats? #deltaChat.
E2EE Calls? #WebCall.
Filehosting? #IPFS, #BitTorrent, oshi.at, etc. ...

Check @alternativeto and @european_alternatives for options.

It’s wild how many people join Discord servers and don’t read the instructions. Every week someone joins mine and can’t figure out access—even though the #welcome-wagon clearly says to tap the ✅ in #roles to verify. Y’all… please just read the page you land on 😅

We were testing #galene as an alternative to #discord video/voice-chat in online #ttrpg sessions today. (In addition to #irc as a chat that is)

It worked fine. Galene has really low ressource demands and we had multiple people in the chat on two continents with good quality video and multiple simultaneous screenshare windows at the same time.
If discord enshittifies too much I think we at least have a way to play our games.

#OpenAI decided to expire the remaining credit that I bought just over a year ago, so rather than buy more expiring credit, I moved my low-traffic #Discord #GenerativeAI fun bots over to #AmazonBedrock. At least #AWS will bill me as little as a few cents.

D'ailleurs, on m'a posé une question à laquelle je n'ai pas su répondre.

#Discord on en pense quoi ?

[Перевод] Современные форматы изображений в Discord: поддержка WebP и AVIF

В течение последнего полугода команда Discord по обслуживанию медиа-инфраструктуры модернизировала конвейер обработки изображений, добавив поддержку анимированных форматов WebP и AVIF. Теперь на платформе можно делиться анимированными картинками WebP и AVIF как в виде прикреплённых файлов, так и в виде вставок. При этом все эмодзи выдаются в виде анимированных WebP — и бесшовно отображаются на любой платформе Discord. Эти изменения были реализованы для того, чтобы повысить качество анимации и воспроизведения роликов на всех платформах. При этом одновременно резко уменьшается размер файлов, и поэтому их загрузка ускоряется!

Okay, what's the best #Discord alternative for a #chat platform, I want one for my #streamer / #vtuber community, currently using Discord but want to Own It and such. For real this time.

Is #element / #matrix still the biggest one? I guess there's #IRC, I want whatever I can get the largest non-zero number of people using. And voice chat ideally, video not necessary.

Has anyone ever gotten a pissed off “we need your phone number NOW” Discord verification thing when using a Discord QR code to log in on another device - assuming you’re both on the same WiFi network etc? Just curious. #discord

I’ve never had that happen, devices were in the same area and whatnot.

People are way too comfortable being assholes on #discord. Social media with no real "account wide ban" seems responsible for that, well plus Discord's average user age seems to be like 15

Obs.: Pergunto porque meu #notebook está cada vez mais pesado (e quente), e eu gostaria de tentar usar #linux , mas se a curva de aprendizado for muito complicada vou preferir deixar pra outro momento.

Aliás: Usar Linux me ajudaria com isso do notebook?

- Não jogo
- Sou #fotografa , então edito imagens com os programas obtidos daquele jeito...
- O uso normal costuma ser para estudar e assistir uns videozinhos.

( #obsidianmd , #discord , #youtube , #pdf , #drive ...)

@simendsjo @jackdaniel #XMPP has all those features, and there's a fairly big #Lisp / #Scheme / #CommonLisp channel there - xmpp.link/#lisp@conference.a3.

It might not have everything that #Discord does, but it's vastly better than #IRC. And there's a cost to using #proprietary and #centralized services, which people constantly forget about in chasing convenience and shiny features.

Here's a guide to help you get started.

My #Discord account got banned because they are sure I am a minor. They want an official government ID that proofs I am old enough use Discord. They want a picture showing me holding the ID and holding a sheet of paper with my username written down.

People like me who do not want to give their ID to random companies will now not have access to their account, their connections.

I made a new account instead. 1/x >>

Discord's latest update just put up a floating ad covering part of the UI. You have to watch a video ad, or hover over it long enough for a initially invisible dismiss button to show up. I've been wanting to switch Pallets over to zulip.com, this seems like a good reason to. #Discord #Zulip
