If there are any #Discord wizards about, I could use some help. Bonus points if you're a screen reader user.
I'm in a server where we're not sure who the server owner is. It might be me, or it might be another person who's inactive. As far as I can tell, we both have the equivalent of the server owner role, though it's been renamed so I have no idea. All I know is that when I look at assigning roles to other members, the role that I have doesn't even show up as an option. I can't figure out how to determine who the true server owner is.

- We are finally testing a full #Matrix←→#Discord federation for our community channels, thanks to @hyphacoop 💕
- #DWebCamp’s website has been refactored and updated by our volunteer Justus Perlwitz, who we also interviewed! 🧑💻
- Our websites are now hosted via @distributedpress, thanks also to @sutty 😘

Just a FYI my Castopod front end is currently down. Thank you to @jaz for letting me know.
You can follow the RSS if you'd like: https://audio.firesidefedi.live/@firesidefedi/feed.xml
That still works and everything seems to work, except the front end.
I don't know PHP or Castopod really, so hoping @Castopod can give me any way to troubleshoot this issue. I'm in their #Discord and I'll get this working ASAP.
You can also find the audio versions on the major podcast apps as it's syncing from Castopod.

@TheDailyBurble, happy to help.
Another cool feature of #XMPP are "gateways" that make it relatively easy to connect with other IMs.
e.g.
#Libervia to #ActivityPub and #email (CC @Goffi )
https://nlnet.nl/project/Libervia
https://libervia.org
#Slidge to all sorts of other IM like #Matrix, #Mattermost, #Steam, #Discord, #Whatsapp, FB … (CC @nicoco )

SO! More fun times with #selfhosting ... after I fixed Jen's video on Peertube, now Castopod is experiencing an issue. So if you can't get the audio version at the moment, that would be why. Getting an unserialize php error when attempting to start it so I'm wondering if it's a DB issue that happened when the disk filled. So while I wait for someone to help in the #Castopod #Discord I'm debating just moving the audio version NOW under BT Free. Any thoughts or suggestions welcome.

Edit: thanks! Now I have to make one of the solutions work on the computer if it lets me D:
Asking in English in hope that it'll reach more people! I'm french, windows user and unfortunately not playing locally. Do you know of some software a deafie could use to game with her pals?

I feel for this user - I’m a fellow ADHD sufferer and their distress is all too clear to me - and I tried to help them in the replies.
But on the other hand, I’m utterly enraged at the broader problem, and all the people who aren’t taking action today, choosing instead to wait until the water is past their neck.
This is the latest example of why we shouldn’t use #nonfree / #proprietary / #restricted and #centralized platforms like #Telegram, #Discord, #WhatsApp, #Signal, #Instagram, #Facebook, #Twitter, #LinkedIn, #Bluesky, #GitHub, and others.
There’s a whole-ass history of centralized platforms having the same class of issues. When are y’all gonna stop ignoring the problem and start exercising the power you have?
It’s as simple as quitting centralized platforms, switching to #FreedomRespecting #decentralized platforms like #ActivityPub and #XMPP, and telling others to do the same.
Create your communities there, and tell others about them. Move all your activity there. Onboard your friends and family. When there’s no other way to reach you, they will move.
Keep up the social pressure, and never relent.
Here’s a user’s guide to XMPP, for whoever needs it.
And developers? Get involved, improve the protocols, the clients, the servers…heck, I’m pretty sure a lot of features and fixes are popular/longstanding enough to make it feasible to crowdfund your patches!

Well, this is depressing. My country has silently blocked #Discord and now I can't access my ADHD support group for body doubling. Someone called his internet service provider and they told him the telecom commission has blocked the app and isn't allowed to announce it in the media. I can't even access any free VPN sites, those have been blocked too. Discord has been my crutch for the past few months and the only way I've been functioning. So depressed. Can't find any free alternatives.

You may (or may not) recall the #Freenode takeover mess. However, thanks to #IRC being an open and widely supported protocol, many projects migrated to #LiberaChat with as little disruption as possible.
Good news is, your walled garden is unlikely to suffer the fate of Freenode — because it already is there, from day one. What are you going to do when your project suddenly gets banned and you lose access to everything — including all the data that you shouldn't have kept there in the first place? Of course, come up with some corporate bullshit of "join us on our illustrious journey to the next walled garden, and don't forget to install another 200 MiB privacy nightmare app not to be excluded from our community".

I know many people who are aware of the importance of #FreedomRespecting software, data, and culture - and the related issues of digital sovereignty and privacy.
Paradoxically, a lot of these people also participate in, or even maintain, communities hosted on #nonfree / #proprietary / #restricted or #centralized platforms like #Telegram, #Discord, #WhatsApp, #Signal, #Instagram, #Facebook, #Twitter, #LinkedIn, #Bluesky, #GitHub, and others.
To state the obvious, each community which chooses a proprietary platform - or bridges to it - is also giving another reason for others to be on that platform. It’s reinforcing network effect.
Conversely, if these communities chose to move to free platforms, their members would be forced to move as well. In other words, these communities have the opportunity to push for change on a massive scale.
Sure, you have to reach out to people on proprietary platforms, if that’s where the majority are. But you cannot be stopping there - you must have a strategy to move people away from proprietary platforms to free platforms.
To give the example of #OpenStreetMap -
So to the people who are choosing - and therefore promoting - proprietary platforms, I ask…
How do you think things are going to change, if everyone keeps choosing what is easiest for them, and keeps choosing, supporting, and promoting proprietary platforms?
What part are you playing in making things better? Or are you just going to go with the flow of the world, even if you know it to be wrong?
They don’t like answering these questions.
Instead, I invite them to find the integrity and courage to answer them.
Or, to find the integrity and courage to make the obvious change and do the obvious right thing.
People hate it when I bring this up. Sorry, but my conscience dictates that I speak up for what is right. Silence is complicity, and it gets us nowhere.

So question is: what other projects exist out there that are open-source, and could be good alternative to Matrix/Discord? A federated solution would be nice ofc.

Hello, all current #Discord users! They're changing their Terms of Service at the end of September, which means you have 30 days to opt out of the Agreement to Arbitrate in Section 16 of the new ToS:
All you need to do is send email from the one you used to register for Discord to arbitration-opt-out@discord.com and let them know you would like to opt out. Why?
Because binding arbitration is only good for large corporations, not individuals.

Tonight, I uninstalled Discord from my system. In its place, I am going to try Revolt. I already use Signal for a small number of contacts but don't expect everyone to move to it.
My reasoning is because I have been concerned for a long time about Discord's business practices. They are trying to jam in ads and monetization wherever they can. Not only is the software proprietary, it is essentially spyware.

My personal distaste and dislike for #proprietary, #SingleVendor & #SingleProvider #services like #Signal ¹, #Telegram, #Discord ², #WhatsApp, #Slack, #MicrosoftTeams, etc. aside:
WHY is there no #CrossProvider #Messenger to handle that shite?
WHY does everyone of these shitty providers think people want to download their #bloated #WebApp that takes up triple digit Megabytes if not entire Gigabytes and will gobble up all the #RAM and #CPU they can??
This problem ain't new and already got solved for corporate social media ages ago! (Not to mention actually good messengers!)
I mean API 0 - style access because obviously none of the platforms will allow, endorse or support such an endeavour and actively fight the developers and users !

You can join without a client or an account. Just visit chat.queer-spark.org/#/guest?join=ppe@conference.queer-spark.org
But for the best experience, I recommend using a proper client. The easiest way is to install Quicksy or Prāv, if you don’t mind using your phone number.
Otherwise, install one or more of the following, and use them to register an account on conversations.im (see providers.xmpp.net or compliance.conversations.im/old for more server recommendations) -
…once you’re set up, open this link to join the channel - invite.joinjabber.org/#ppe@conference.queer-spark.org?join (or join ppe@conference.queer-spark.org from your client)

Considering that both #XMPP and #Matrix re-invented #decentralized communication while #email was already there, makes #deltachat more interesting.
The fact that DC didn't invent a new protocol for #InstantMessaging and just used the protocol which was already there, and also that how far has it gone, is mind blowing.
At first when I was chatting with @treefit, I already was developing a Matrix client(#chooj) for #KaiOS and it was the only decentralized IM which I was using and investing resources into. I was skeptical but then I thought it would be a good idea to invest into DeltaChat, as well as Matrix. His argument, of course, wasn't good. He was arguing that we need multiple options in the case one of decentralized IMs fail. However this convinced me to give DC a try.
But now, I see that DC has very unique advantages no other messenger has. Their moto is "playing the long term" game. Unlike Matrix which suddenly exploded, DC moves very slowly. As an advantage, DC is much more consistent, hassle free, has less bugs(in my experience) and has better UI/UX than many Matrix clients. But it has got several disadvantages. Matrix has tons more features which DC hasn't got or has added them just recently such as editing messages and reactions. And it is not yet suitable for public groups, like the ones we've got in the Matrix network.
Overall, if you want secure chat with friends or family or other people you trust, DeltaChat is a very good option and the experience is very good. And I haven't seen something like #webxdc in any other IM. However if you want something like #Discord guilds for a community, Matrix is the way to go.
BTW, DC currently lacks funding, thanks to what #Trump did with #OpenTechnologyFund(#OTF). If you can help in anyway, financial or otherwise, it will be extra valuable at this point.
Edit:
BTW, here are websites of webxdc and DC:

As an advantage, DC is much more consistent, hassle free, has less bugs(in my experience) and has better UI/UX than many Matrix clients. But it has got several disadvantages. Matrix has tons more features which DC hasn't got or has added them just recently such as editing messages and reactions. And it is not yet suitable for public groups, like the ones we've got in the Matrix network.
Overall, if you want secure chat with friends or family or other people you trust, DeltaChat is a very good option and the experience is very good. And I haven't seen something like #webxdc in any other IM. However if you want something like #Discord guilds for a community, Matrix is the way to go.
BTW, DC currently lacks funding, thanks to what #Trump did with #OpenTechnologyFund(#OTF). If you can help in anyway, financial or otherwise, it will be extra valuable at this point.
Edit:
BTW, here are websites of webxdc and DC:
https://delta.chat
https://webxdc.org/
Edit2: Make sure to check WebXDC, apps shared in #P2P deltachat groups or DMs.

Inviting the #Fediverse to join another #Jabber / #XMPP channel I co-moderate - the #BlackLivesMatter channel! Another initiative by the wonderful @maskedwitch
You can join without a client or an account! Just visit - https://chat.queer-spark.org/#/guest?join=blm@conference.queer-spark.org
But for the best experience, I recommend using a proper client. The easiest way is to install Quicksy or Prāv, if you don’t mind using your phone number. Alternatively, install one or more of the following, and use them to register an account on conversations.im (see https://providers.xmpp.net or https://compliance.conversations.im/old for more server recommendations) -
…when you’re set up, open this link to join the channel! https://invite.joinjabber.org/#blm@conference.queer-spark.org?join
If you’re new to XMPP (e.g. coming from #WhatsApp #Matrix #IRC #Signal #Telegram #Discord etc), this guide has everything you need to get started - https://contrapunctus.codeberg.page/the-quick-and-easy-guide-to-xmpp.html

STOP using corporate platforms! 🚨🛑
From demanding "real names", official IDs, and face scans destroying pseudonymity,
To carefully keeping track of everyone you interact with,
To tracking everything you do on the internet *outside* these platforms linking it back to your profile without your knowledge,
They will now utilize, process, tag, and judge everything you post to feed their AI models or sell it back to someone else's models.
It will only get *worse* from now.
You have no control whatsoever on what will be done with this AI-compiled profile of you later on.
The only solution to stay safe from their insatiable greed is to leave and delete,
before they eat you whole.

Das ist ein Monetarisierungs-CEO.
Zeit, massiv in die Verbesserung von Revolt zu investieren.
Matrix ist eine Antinative: bei einer Chat/Sprach/Screensharing Plattform ist Ende-zu-Ende Verschlüsselung nutzlos - Daten sollen verteilt werden und Neuankömmlinge sollen die Historie sehen können. Nutzer sollen mit vielen Clients verbinden können und auf alle. Die Historie haben. E2E macht Sachen notlos kompliziert. Zudem wenn es so benutzerfeindlich wie bei Matrix implementiert ist.
Föderation hat auch nur Nachteile, solange der Client gleichzeitig bei x Serverinstanzen direkt angemeldet sein kann: auf diese Weise hat man kein Delay, eine authoritative Timeline und zwei Zehnerpotenzen geringere Komplexität.

Once again, I highly advice you to get off #Discord and use something else, prefferably a messaging platform that is end-to-end encrypted, federated, no phone number idenitfiers, and open source.
You can bet your dollars that once they officially announce their IPO plans, all bets are off in terms of #enshittification X 1000.

ok actually tho now that we're seeing more movements like the fediverse for decentralized internet stuff can we please start a movement to tell people about the matrix protocol. can we spread the news that there is a chat protocol like discord but its decentralized and can be self-hosted and works similarly to email in that you set up an address with a host and log into that host via a client. and u can talk to anyone from any matrix host on any matrix client. in the same way that you can send emails to any email address from any email host. except its instant messaging and video and voice calls and everything. and its also end-to-end encrypted. can we do that now please. i've been trying to get people on matrix for ages

Was reading old discussions about why did Slack win out over IRC (for some definition of win?)
https://tedium.co/2017/10/17/irc-vs-slack-chat-history/
Found these quotes interesting.
"Why is it, out of all the prominent internet protocols in use during the early ’90s, only two of them—email and the World Wide Web—have managed to hold on in a way where most people use them on a regular basis" -- Ernie Smith 2017
"Why did slack win?
Because whenever somebody asked for:
* 24/7 presence, the reply was "you can do that with a bouncer"
* backlog, the reply was "you can do that with a bouncer"
* full text search, the reply was "that's up to the client implementation"
* file sharing, the reply was "it's already possible with XDCC"
and so on and so forth.
Basically, it's not that Slack is great, it's because IRC as a whole just refused to adapt to what users actually wanted/needed." -- em6m 2020
Not saying I agree exactly, just interesting.

A Matrix-Fediverse bridge is needed.
When someone asks something to the effect of "Is there a Fediverse alternative to Discord" —
Sometimes people answer with — "Matrix". But, is "Matrix" really a valid response yet?
I like Matrix, I use Matrix, but —
There doesn't seem to be a Matrix bridge to the Fediverse yet:
https://matrix.org/ecosystem/bridges/
I think one is needed.
Make a Matrix room a ActivitPub Group actor. Etc.

I'd love to see Kagi use FOSS / privacy centric services through use over problematic companies like #Zoom and #Discord. At the very least support alternatives as well (eg #Peertube, #Matrix etc).
The search engine itself seems good from my tests, but holding your events on #Zoom and having community support via #Discord undermines trust in your organization and it's alignment to #privacy and #FOSS.
I was about to sign up for an annual membership, but paused when seeing these.

We can still see several new opensource projects creating channels on #Discord instead of #Matrix and the reason might be that many ones are simply already onboarded on Discord and making it more comfortable to new users.
Should the general BoxyBSD Service chat be placed in…
| Option | Voters |
|---|---|
| Matrix | 28 (74%) |
| Discord | 3 (8%) |
| Both (bridged) | 7 (18%) |

#security tip:
unless you know your chats or audio/video calls are secure, DON'T say anything that you wouldn't say around an unsafe person.
does this restrict your speech? yes it fucking does. but only in certain spaces.
be the annoying person who suggests over and over again to set up a secure group chat with your fellow community members. almost every service is free to use.
remember that #Discord is not secure comms. remember that #Instagram chats, and activity there, is not secure comms. remember that anything owned by Meta is not secure comms no matter what the company says.
be too careful. it's better to be too careful than careless for a moment.

I have a #Linux machine with 32GB RAM and barely use 8GB of it. I run #Firefox with hundreds of tabs, open #Haskell, #Rust, and #PureScript projects all at the same time. Have #Telegram and #Discord apps running, and the memory usage still hovers around 8GB.Seems like I should be using Docker and Kubernetes just to feel like I'm using my machine to its potential 😆

Jesus wept. I'd been feeling guilty about not interacting on the #Discord channel for my course. So I spent way too long writing a witty little post about the last assessment task. Hit send, and it disappeared.
I did get an alert, though: "You have received an automatic warning. Reason: Automatic action carried out for using a blacklisted word (nigg)."
"Niggling!" I said a thought had been niggling away at me! FFS!
Well, I'm not typing it out again from memory.

As for the #Russia blockade of #Discord, which continues to cause much outrage among Russian mil-bloggers, Roskomnadzor, regardless of its motives, is doing something here that the Russian MOD itself should do long ago. And not only Russian. Using a commercial, gaming chat room that does not have end-to-end encryption but is full of user tracking features for marketing purposes as a rule is not a good idea on the frontline.
Yeah, we know it is the need of the moment everyone improvises, but the popularity of this platform and the lack of an equivalent system designed for the military is a problem that every Ministry of Defence in the world should now study closely, and this is based on the Ukrainian military’s experience (and that ‘acquired’ from the Russians).
I don’t know about other countries, but #Poland has actually been a Google’s playground in terms of government IT over the last decade, just as, for example, Amazon has monopolised government IT in the UK. Commercial companies are able to provide convenient solutions for public administration under certain conditions, but the military is its own peculiarity, if only because of classified information or connectivity challenges.
That’s why it’s worth starting to take an interest in the technological advances in the realm of secure communications, which are rapidly developing in protocols such as Matrix or MLS (RFC 9420) because simply implementing multiparty chat is a high school-level task, but doing it with correct encryption and authentication is a separate field of study. And that’s exactly why business and gaming chatbots like Slack or Discord simply don’t do it at all.

#Discord told me on #HackerOne that this isn't a security #vulnerability, so cool, I'll talk about it publicly.
You can disable 2FA¹ on another person's account if you get access to their phone momentarily.
All you have to do is create a new account and put their phone number in as the login; if you verify the code, it strips it from the other account with no warning, and they can't take it back.
So have fun I guess?
¹ SMS is not #2FA

(2/2) The Blue Pages is also open to anyone for submissions! #dm me if you wanted to be featured! Or #email me, maybe chat me on #discord too.
If you want, you can supply ads in The Blue Pages to attract more people! But please don't add invisible pixels for tracking or bullshit like javascript frameworks. Just showcase your site by utilizing HTML, CSS and simple JS!
But, I don't have any money so there's no way for monetization possible rn.

#Discord is evil 👿
@MirceaKitsune@baraag.net
Time to pin a new thread. It seems a new phenomenon in the child protection cult is taking place: Having people I know randomly message me on #Discord in the middle of the night, screaming bloody murder at me for seemingly no known reason, all because someone found my profile on #Baraag and hated what kind of #artwork I merely like on this platform. Won't give names of course, but just finished an intense "lecture" on how I have an issue because the #art I favorite on this platform is immoral.

Ich habe einen kleinen Discordserver namens Queer & Schreiben.
Ehrlicherweise schreiben wir mehr über Flora&Fauna und teilen interessante Artikel über wissenschaftliche Entdeckungen. Einen Bot fürs Sprinten(Pomodorotechnik) haben wir auch. Das Queersein ist weniger Thema aber wer nicht selbst queer ist, ist Ally. Wenn also Schreiben dein Thema ist, sei herzlich willkommen.
