I get that these need some sort of access point in the normal web for the average user but it blows my mind these sorts of chats aren’t on the darkweb on a Foss app.
I don’t understand why such big Foss things stays on discord
Because even some FOSS developers value convenience over freedom and privacy, unfortunately. Those of us who’ve spent decades warning about this get shouted down and told we’re being too puritan or ideological and that the proprietary thing just works and everyone uses it already so we’re wasting our time.
Discord goes too far, we need an alternative that is better than Discord.
And no, Matrix is nit even close to discord in my opinion.
Matrix is the best choice we have. Embrace it or make better because we can only use what is out there.
I understand your view, but its still nothing that a community will love to adapt like discord as discord has too many features missing in Matrix.
If you want a successful and big community outside of coorp shit, then we need to create something new and better together and not put the load onto an individual person who wont be able to make it profitable.
I never understood the appeal of discord.
Like. It’s IRC with voice chat. I’m sure making a voice chat client is not trivial but weve had IRC for like 30 fucking years.
So they should switch to element.io, or host their own forum thingie on a VPS somewhere. Why is Discord essential? (Hint: it’s not)
Discord is currently the best for managing Communities. I dont see Matrix being even close to discord. Its partly similar, but lacks too much what makes Discord great.
What makes discord “great” exactly?
