crius, to foss in Stop Using Discord for Your Open source Communities | mattcen's mumblings

This is something I said even recently here but the general consensus is that “it’s fine”.

It’s incredible how much people tend to just dismiss a valid concern when it’s not an immediate threat to themselves.

crius, to gaming in Is it me or are games really not fun anymore

The small indie titles are what is saving my passion for gaming since quite some time now. It’s also what’s saving my wallet as usually they focus on good gameplay more than flashy presentation which helps in not having to spend a ton on a “competitive” hardware.

crius, to technology in Discord is opening the monetization floodgates: get ready for microtransaction stores and paid 'exclusive memes'

Discord is a chat and the default setting of every server is that too see the content of it, you need to join the server.

It make sense for a chat.

However, companies and communities have largely misused discord and basically turned it in forums.

Lots and lots of knowledge is spread on these chats with no way of finding it unless you know in which server to join and provided they do not shut down at some point.

On top of that, the discord search feature is barebone at best.

This is the problem with discord.

I heard about "guilded" but i don't have direct experience.

crius, to technology in What browser extensions do you use?

An extra thumbs up for mullvad vpn from me. It's a bit more costly than the mainstream ones but you don't have to subscribe to any plan. Just pay month by month, absolutely no personal data needed.

crius, to technology in Introducing Connect for Lemmy

just a quick feedback, when being in the dark mode, the user switching remain in light mode. Also the node selection suggesting the possible nodes would be appreciated.

also, adding new accounts after the first one, doesn't seems to work.

I added my lemmy.world and it seemed to work.

anything else besides it, didn't work (tried, lemmy.ml, beehaw.org, etc.)

overall it's a good mvp, well done, need a little more work and i would appreciate if it was a FOSS to absolutely avoid situations in which an app become the unofficial-official app but then a sudden surge of egocentrism from an individual take it away.

crius, to foss in In your opinion, which FOSS software is by many considered "old" or "obsolete", but are in fact, in your opinion, in many ways better than the newer alternatives?

Discord is not even remotely comparable and whoever think that it is (not saying you OP) don't understand the basics on how internet works.

To put it simply:

You can't search the content of a discord server on the publicly available internet. You need to be on discord and for that, the server need to continue to exists. To top it all, things you might search are written all over the place (channels, threads, etc) and the search is clearly the search is a "chat" search, as it should be, thus terrible to actually find what you need.

crius, to news in The Guardian view on danger at sea: The contrast between the frantic hunt for a missing submersible and the failure to save migrants drowning in the Mediterranean is illuminating

I see your point but just for the sake of discussion, try and change "refugees" with "people".

You should notice how all the other considerations simply are not worth the electricity used to transmit them on your screen.
