@NEETzsche@CentaurBreeder@TURBORETARD9000@Zerglingman >Whether you prefer Soapbox, PleromaFE, Misskey, or even Mastodong, the point is, these aren’t UIs that people merely tolerate. They’re UIs people actively like. And they were made by “some guy” on a gratis basis.
It's also people in the fedi sphere give a shit about it, while the people in the other will be like "yup it works I'll ship it" (see GS).
@NEETzsche@Zerglingman >The “servers” with many “channels” structure is fantastic if used properly.
Yup, but there are a lot of jannies I've seen who also end up doing shit like yelling at anyone who even talks to "TALK IN THIS CHAT PLEASE" and I know of one Discord janny who does this exact thing and only talks to say that.
Or with tiny groups it ends up spreading out discussion.
@CentaurBreeder@Zerglingman@NEETzsche XMPP clients are worse IMO, but I chalk that up more to the fact that the marketing around XMPP is dogshit and most people in the tech field have bad memories because of the Cisco/Avaya shitware. There are websites suggesting XMPP clients that have not been updated in years and lack encryption.
@NEETzsche@Zerglingman >Not to mention, Discord’s “server” structure where each one has many channels just plain isn’t replicated properly with “Communities” or whatever.
I really hate Discord's "server" structure though it's literal garbage. I've been in so many servers where it neuters the flow of discussion by spreading out a small group over 30 channels. It only might work with "servers" with thousands of people, but it'll kill a "server" with 100-500 people (or less).
I saw a Telegram group once Telegram aped that feature and discussion absolutely flatlined once the group rolled that out. Almost no Telegram groups use it for a good reason.
@NEETzsche@Zerglingman IMO there's 3 reasons for that: Discord's critical mass and ease of use, Matrix servers being a bitch to host, and defederation/desync issues between servers.
@Zerglingman it's pulled from digital but I need to play it the premise is truly batshit weird.
The premise is that you're literally in a coma, the entire world of the game is in the mind of you, and you get to hijack people's minds and control them, and I mean anyone in the game (instead of stealing cars). Be it cops or some random npc, and also you'll do it while these npcs are talking npc shit mid conversation even.
As the game progresses you gain more "powers" including the ability to take over npcs from further distances and all.
@LukeAlmighty@TrevorGoodchild I mean why do you think the anime as a normie filter works? There's a theory that the feds don't like anime posting for some reason.
