Age verification is not en never was about protecting children. It's about mass surveillance.

"Once a user verifies their identity with Persona, the software performs 269 distinct verification checks and scours the internet and government sources for potential matches, such as by matching your face to politically exposed persons (PEPs), and generating risk and similarity scores for each individual. IP addresses, browser fingerprints, device fingerprints, government ID numbers, phone numbers, names, faces, and even selfie backgrounds are analyzed and retained for up to three years."

RE: https://ludosphere.fr/@matias49/109537317837973475

Les dernières décisions de #discord rappellent qu'il faut être prêt à migrer sur des plans de secours prévus en avance.

Surtout : être joignable sur plusieurs plateformes pour garder un maximum de contact.

Globalement, c'est quoi la meilleure solution ? Autant être clair : il n'existe pas à l'heure actuelle de plateforme aussi bien développée que Discord.

Pour l'instant, le système gagnant serait un mélange de plateforme : Stoat, Fluxer, Matrix pour le texte, Teamspeak pour la voix/écran ?

What does a Discord replacement look like, and how might the open social web play a part?
@laurenshof
looks at what needs to happen — different apps built on the same protocols, active collaboration to make sure it all fits together — and how that's already fundamental to the Atmosphere and fediverse.

#ActivityPub #Mastodon #ATProtocol #Bluesky #Blacksky #Discord #Technology #Tech

at this time I believe that Matrix + Element is the best #Discord replacement:

- matches a lot of Discord's functionality
- has a free flagship instance as well as self-hosting that isn't too bad to manage
- been around for 10+ years and has stable funding
- good quality apps on all platforms
- FOSS
- federated
- has E2EE

the major downsides are:

- getting started without someone holding your hand is very confusing (protocol? server? client? where do I sign up?)
- having to "unlock" every new client you install to read previous encrypted messages sucks
- the UI of Element is different from Discord, especially in the way spaces are organized. you could use an alternative client, but Element is pretty far ahead of the pack in terms of polish and features.

personally I think it's worth putting up with the downsides, but the UX may be sufficiently off-putting that a lot of people will just reject it, and I sympathize with that completely. it suffers from a lot of similar problems that Mastodon has.

Y'en a parmi vous qui aurait testé #Fluxer, le #Discord #OpenSource sans envoi de données à Peter Thiel ?

› https://fluxer.app/

#Chat

Given #Discord is total ass I think about creating a #Fluxer community (for the Fedi, but generally open), as somewhat of an arrival point since there aren't a lot right now.

Topics would be based on public demand but start off with coding, gaming and general stuff (smalltalk, memes'n'things). I.e. things common for both Fedi and Discord.

Any interest in this? RT appreciated.

I've had a thought about the whole #Discord thing. One of the reasons why it has become so popular even as a “#forum” thing, despite being *utterly unusable* in that sense, is that is provided single sign-on. Once logged into Discord, you could trivially join any community with zero to no effort. Compare this with the sign-up process in *any* other context and it becomes pretty clear.

The only other place that offered a comparable experience was basically reddit, with its own sets of problems.

C'est que c'est bébé Discord, l'hébergement en open source n'est qu'un afterthought, c'est donc très centralisé et j'ai pas trop confiance dans le fait que ça soit pérenne en terme de techno libératrice.
• #Mattermost, #Zulip et similaires, c'est très bon en terme d'UX quand on vient de Discord même si l'aspect est sûrement trop corporate, J'pense que c'est la meilleure solution pour migrer immédiatement. Le problème étant que c'est décentralisé mais pas fédéré donc la charge technique et financière tombe sur les organisataires de communauté qui vont devoir chacun trouver et payer un hébergeur avec un tarif dépendant de la taille de leur communauté (ou se regrouper pour mutualiser ça mais ça fait aussi une charge organisationnelle en plus) et côté utilisataires on va se retrouver à potentiellement faire autant de comptes que de communautés qu'on rejoint sans que les applications tiennent compte de cet usage (elles sont faites pour être inscrit sur deux ou trois instances, pas 36) donc ça va être relou aussi.
• #Matrix c'est de la merde. C'est décentralisé et fédéré mais le réseau s'effondre dès que le gros serveur ramouille, en terme d'UX c'est le désastre, les applis sont mal fichues, affichent partout des messages incompréhensibles ou inutiles, rament de ouf, on nous parle de chiffrement à toutes les sauces (en termes obscurs) mais il y a plein de bugs bizarres et des problèmes de synchronisation entre clients et entre serveurs. Et l'implémentation des espaces (l'équivalent des "serveurs" Discord) a été faite par des gens qui ont pas compris à quoi ça servait.
• #XMPP c'est pas prêt. Ça a vingt ans et il y a un gros héritage du passé, l'UX est aux fraises, il y a des bizarreries à tous les coins de rue, les applications ont toutes les options de la terre et des paramètres par défaut aberrants. Mais c'est décentralisé, fédéré, il y a plein d'hebergeurs, ça peut absorber des afflux d'utilisataires sans broncher et sans faire tomber les serveurs des copains. S'il vous plaît les gens qui font de l'UX, allez voir les gens qui développent XMPP et s'il vous plaît, par pitié, les gens qui développent, écoutez les. XMPP le protocole c'est le turfu depuis plus de 20 ans, XMPP les clients c'est le passé depuis toujours, faut vraiment faire quelque chose même si ça semble aller dans la bonne direction. Faudrait sûrement aller petitionner les gens qui font #StoatChat pour qu'iels transforment leur truc en client XMPP en vrai. Là on pourrait dire go.

Et je vais essayer d'arrêter mon hyperfixation de la semaine sur ce sujet parce que je me fatigue, probablement je vous fatigue aussi et je pense que si je continuais là dessus ça serait juste redondant.

Homeland Security Wants Social Media Sites to Expose Anti-ICE Accounts
The department has sent Google, Meta and other companies hundreds of subpoenas for information on accounts that track or comment on ICE, officials and tech workers said.

The Department of Homeland Security (#DHS) is expanding its efforts to identify Americans who oppose #ICE by sending tech companies legal requests for the names, email addresses, telephone numbers and other identifying data behind social media accounts that track or criticize the agency.

In recent months, #Google, #Reddit, #Discord and #Meta, which owns #Facebook and #Instagram, have received hundreds of administrative subpoenas from the DHS, according to four government officials and tech employees privy to the requests.

A Discord alternative: you take Stoat, mix it with XMPP, voilà.

#Discord #Stoat #XMPP

The migration from #Discord to anything else will not be a problem *only* because e.g. other chat systems to not provide a comparable UX, but *also* because each community going each separate way for *anything* (be it #chat or #forum) is that the first-time login/sign-up will have more friction than the funneling to Discord had.

I've had a thought about the whole #Discord thing. One of the reasons why it has become so popular even as a “#forum” thing, despite being *utterly unusable* in that sense, is that is provided single sign-on.

One way to rapid prototype this would be to cheat. Copy as much as Discord's HTML/CSS/JS as you can get hold of. Chuck it in a private repo, accessible only to you/ your team.

Then you only need to build a layer of scripting glue and gaffer tape between that and an existing AP back-end (#Emissary, @Bonfire, dealer's choice). Published under a free license.

@strypey

Hey Stripey.. do you think you could draw up something like this? Bonus points if you’ve got enough design chops to make an HTML mockup.

The #Emissary inbox is fully programmable, and you can use different layouts for each “folder” in the system.

This could be as simple to do as making a new folder layout. Or, we might need something more sophisticated.

I can’t do a #Discord view on my own (sooo overcommitted) but how’d you like to make a first pass at what it should look like?

Before I delete an account from a service, I like to request my data to see what's in there.

Reviewing my #Discord export, I'm surprised to find there is a section dedicated to "frecency," i.e. how often I used specific: stickers, emojis, application commands, applications, guilds and channels, and emoji reactions.

Looking at emojis, it tracked: total uses, recent uses, and assigned some kind of score.

Just... why?

On the upside, I did learn that the 😂 emoji wins with ~700 uses.

#privacy

Well, seems like Communick is getting a small surge of new signups for people looking for #matrix as a #discord alternative.

It's exciting, but at the same time it puts me in a terrible dilemma. The number of people signing up is not enough to make me take the jump back to make this my full-time job, and if I go after any type of outside investment I will have to deal with the pressure of making this grow at a pace which will be way outside my comfort zone.

@hyratel @0xabad1dea I do disagree, because there's usually only "novel and bad" (like with the #Enshittification of cars) and "old but good".

• The window controls belong on the top-left side of a window.

  • #Microsoft only moved it to the wrong corner in #Windows because they licensed said (long expired!) design patent from #Apple and stuck with the agreed-upon changes to it so Apple failed to sue them (unlike #Amiga)...

• Before #discord, there was #TeamSpeak & #IRC. These are still existing and not just work, but you even have more competiton than ever before with #Mumble & #JitsiMeet for #voicechat if not #screensharing and #Zulip, #RocketChat and many more options.

  • Heck, even fucking #MicrosoftTeams is better than discord!

And this ain't like a localization thing, where RHD cars (i.e. manufacturers from Japan and UK) put the filler port on the left side and LHD cars (i.e. USA and Germany) mostly put it on the right side.

Certain things are quantifyably correct and some just are scientifically wrong!

• We don't allow "tiller steering" in modern cars because it's more dangerous and only works somewhat on non - power-steering vehicles.

@matrix Matrix is not ready for all of the discord Exodus. Needs more decentralization from the primary server and better moderation tools, and easier setup for admins. #matrix #Discord #exodus #tech #linux

“And that's...it. Element promises more, like native video conferencing, but heaven help you if you're trying to self-host it. It is technically possible, but by no means simple.

"Technically possible, but by no means simple" aptly describes up the entire Matrix experience, actually.

I ran a private Matrix server for about a year and a half. Why private? In two public Matrix rooms I had joined—including the room for Synapse admins—I experienced a common attack in which troll accounts spam the room with CSAM material. Horrible, but not just for the participants and admins in the room. Through the magic of federation, every server who has a user participating in the room now has a copy of the CSAM material, and has to take action to remove it. This requires a manual curl request on the server itself, because Synapse has an appalling lack of moderation tools. It's so bad that, without third-party tooling, you can't even ban a user outright from a server; you have to manually ban them from every single room.

Then came September 2, 2025. The outageof matrix.org caused by drive failures was not an indictment of Matrix's database management or recovery process—in fact, I was quite impressed with their response. But it did put the lie to Matrix's decentralization for me. Almost none of my friends could use Matrix, even though I was hosting my own server. The onboarding pipeline (especially via Element) is so focused on the flagship server, I daresay it comprises the plurality of Matrix accounts. It's not easy to get any statistics for all Matrix users, but that is my guess. How "decentralized" is that, really? Just because something can be decentralized doesn't make it so.

Isn't that right, ATProto?

I'm probably a little too close to this one. I so badly wanted Matrix to work, and I tried to make it work for my purposes for a long time. Ultimately, the pain points overcame the benefits. But if you care most about an intersection of message encryption, federation, and decentralization, and you're willing to put in quite a lot of admin time, Matrix can be a viable community chat platform.”

There's a massive opportunity here, for someone to build a UX that would be comfortable for someone used to Discord. 100% Free Code, and connected to a federated server that can provide all the necessary functionality. Whether that's using;

* XMPP for interop with the Jabber network,

* Meg/Olm for interop with Matrix rooms

* ActivityPub for interop with the forumverse (Lemmy, PieFed, Discourse, nodeBB, etc).

* Something else(?)

#Discord

As you may have heard, Discord alternative Revolt has been renamed Stoat;

https://stoat.chat/updates/long-live-stoat

Stoat is designed as a centralised service. So in theory the operators could sell it to Discord, or Xitter, or anyone, at any time.

To be clear, they show no signs of doing so, and claim they're getting plenty of donations to cover costs. But this was true with Gitea ... until it wasn't. Devs with control over the project accepted VC money, leading to the Forgejo fork.

#Discord

@reiver
> People use Discord and Slack for different reasons

My impression is that for most communities it's an alternative for web forums, not for IM or IRC. So for these folks, Lemmy, Discourse or nodeBB might be a more helpful suggestion than XMPP or Matrix.

I noticed this back when Slack pulled their bait-and-switch by turning off their IRC and XMPP bridges, and wrote up a page of replacement options;

ID photos of 70,000 users may have been leaked, #Discord says

by Osmond Chia, October 9, 2025

"Discord, a messaging platform popular with gamers, says official ID photos of around 70,000 users have potentially been leaked after a #CyberAttack.

"The platform, which has more than 200 million users worldwide, says hackers had targeted a firm that helped to verify the ages of its users but the Discord platform itself was not breached.

"People can provide ID photos to verify their age on Discord - a networking hub for players to chat and share files with others in the gaming community."

With news that Discord is moving toward stricter age/ID verification and privacy concerns around this shift, I’m wondering whether Open Source communities like Python and Django should consider alternatives to Discord. 🤔

Platforms like Matrix or Zulip might better respect privacy and freedom of access.

What do you think about a migration away from Discord?

#Discord just dropped the latest ad for #Matrix.

Going through online verification for various jobs and signing processes, you have to do that goofy facial recognition process you can find everywhere - and now it's coming for discord.

But I have zero intention of giving my #biometrics to #discord for any reason. So my account will probably be perpetually 13 from that point on.

the reason people are leaving #discord isn't obvious at first, but look what's happening in the software development ecosystem in a security context. requiring IDs basically turns high-value developers into targets. it links real identities to keys, credentials, and infra access. it creates unprecedented attack surfaces, that enable doxxing, social engineering, and potentially catastrophic supply-chain compromises. discord is cooked.

After using Slack, Discord and Element (Matrix), I’m sold on Zulip. People sometimes say it’s "Just Slack with threads" but they miss the point: the whole experience is designed around topics. Instead of an "instant messaging" platform, I’d qualify it as an "instant message board".

This makes it so much easier to find information and to catch up, which is essential when you’re working it environments where people are not online 24/7 (eg. volunteers)!

I’d love to hear them explore this in a future episode.

LOL. So Discord put out a survey on what users thought of AI…

It was up for a couple hours at most, then closed.

Assume the meeting on Monday will go like this.

“None of this is what we wanted to hear.”

“We’ll just delete the responses and say people want AI tools”

#AI #discord

So there's apparently a survey circulating in which Discord is asking about people's opinions on integrating AI.

https://discord.sjc1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_5BGtstVUidXadts

#discord #survey #AI

This is a survey all #Discord users need to fill out {edit - seems they closed it within a day?}. Discord wants to know if we want AI to run the app. It'd be using data from pictures, conversations, voice notes, live streams, art, 'learning' from us in the app if they don't get strong enough pushback.

Let them know how you feel before they ruin that app for everyone as well.

It's an [assumed - see replies] official survey and it doesn't even take 5 mins. Please boost and share in your servers too.

RE: https://mastodon.gamedev.place/@djlink/115853362345935863

It's not just "enshittification".

Being a publicly traded company will bring much more scrutiny and regulation.

Meaning: more enforcement of US-based "morals", but also appeasement of the regulatory body.

Many subcultures and communities, including LGBTIQA+ and others, currently host on #Discord from around the globe.

Do the math.

Time to invest in #stoat, I guess?

(Don't come at me with Matrix or XMPP or IRC.)

@carmenlisandrette @missionlibre

Yes, it is no fun. And there are more levels of principles to consider depending the platform. I tooted the above as I found a beautiful #gleam community on #Discord chat.

After reading this piece, it's hard not to see #anthropic as a cult, and a deeply creepy one at that.

Is there a good self-hostable alternative to Discord for non-technical communities?

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.

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.

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.

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.

@mitchellh Do you have any other forum than #Discord? I caught it scanning my hard drive late at night once, while my laptop was supposed to be sleeping. So I uninstalled it. How about Discourse? PHPBB? XMPP? Anything else?

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".

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".

#Discord

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 -

• I announce events on free platforms sooner
• I remind people on proprietary platforms that they should join the free platforms to get notified earlier
• After each event, we invite people to our #XMPP channel, which is not bridged to any other platform.
• All organizational talk takes place on our XMPP channel, which is not bridged to any other platform.
• I minimize my participation on proprietary platforms, and communities which bridge to them. The bulk of my activity happens on free platforms.
• I have never submitted data to Mapillary or KartaView, because their clients and servers are proprietary. All my contributions go to #WikimediaCommons and #Panoramax.

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.

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.

It just makes me wounder: Are modern messengers these days complicated or do the people who have the talent to write such a #MultiProtocolIM chosen that this is stupid and that like myself they'd never touch that shite in their life and make peace with it?

• And I'm not talking about specific #API limitations like #Discord uses to force people to use their garbage client, but like #WhatsAppWeb and others...

One thing that really pisses me off personally is the #regression in terms of #Messenger #Apps.

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!)

• And no, bridges don't count!

• 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 !

So yeah, consider this a call for a @gajim / #Gajim or @pidgin / #Pidgin for garbage platforms!

• Cuz back in the day we had way worse messengers yet people actually made #AIM, #ICQ, #MSN, #QQ, #IRC & #XMPP work just fine from one single "phat" client!

• Can we please get that back?

🇩🇪 Hey queer folx in Germany! 🇩🇪

I have a queer friend who's fleeing the US to your lovely country. She's hella cool, but she doesn't know anyone there yet 👉👈

@larsmb No - but I just passed this on to a friend group that is also on #Discord and starting to eye alternatives as #Discord is progressing on the #entshitification
#Zulip looks really good at first glance

Has anyone got experience with "migrating" a friend group #Discord (about 200 users, 10-20% sporadically active) to #Zulip or #Revolt?

Crucially, most of them are not tech savvy, so it would need to be low barrier and work on iOS and Android as well.

I really dislike all these distros moving their support to Discord and not installing an online, searchable forum. If it's not searchable via a search engine and free to read, the answer does not exist in my book.

Inviting the #Fediverse to join another #Jabber / #XMPP channel I co-moderate - the Personal Protective Equipment channel. #PPE

Protect yourself from hazardous substances, #pollution, diseases ( #CovidIsNotOver !), #surveillance, police oppression, and other threats. Or maybe just look cool and cyberpunk.

Discuss cloth #masks, surgical masks, filtering facepiece (FFP) #respirators, reusable #elastomeric respirators (half-face or full-face), source control, powered air purifying respirators (PAPRs), and more!

Discussion of #EyeProtection, #HearingProtection, #HeadProtection and similar also welcome!

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) -

• Monocles Chat, Cheogram, or Conversations on modern Android devices. (They’re paid on app stores, free of cost on F-Droid)
• Yaxim or Bruno on old/low-end Android devices
• Monal or Siskin on iOS
• Gajim on Linux, Windows, and Mac
• Monal on Mac
• Movim or ConverseJS in the browser
• Poezio or Profanity in the terminal
• Convo on KaiOS/JioPhone

…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)

#BoostsAppreciated #Privacy #Federated #FreedomRespecting #Libre #OpenSource #FOSS

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:

https://delta.chat
https://webxdc.org/

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.

#discord #revolt

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
https://matrix.org/

I open Discord and it notifies me that I have a new direct message. I click on it and it's just Discord trying to sell me Nitro

Get the hell out of here with that nonsense. This is part of the reason why I started up 199X.chat. Maybe Discord can go beg Tencent for more money.

#Discord #Linux #SelfHosted #Revolt

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 https://zulip.com, this seems like a good reason to. #Discord #Zulip

I just saw a promoted ad on #Discord for the first time. I quickly clicked it away, but it said something being placed by Microsoft. Is #Discord owned by #Microsoft now?!

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.
