Yikes, hope matrix really improves soon.

The replacement is matrix.
schrieb am 29. Mai 2025, 18:52 zuletzt editiert vonNot really. The network is currently undergoing massive attacks of spammers who flood people's servers, rooms and dms with child porn and videos of animals being tortured. Maintaining a public matrix room or homeserver is a nightmare and the Matrix foundation has only now come up with a solution. But these servers are slow to release and many people have been left with no choice but to leave Matrix all together. Discord is a shithole but we need to make sure people are aware that the alternatives have their own set of issues too

Does it even have push to mute with a keybind? It feels like their voice/video chat is super feature bare lol
schrieb am 29. Mai 2025, 19:14 zuletzt editiert vonIt doesn't.
It has features for video/voice calling - E.g. Background blurring and stuff like that. It just lacks the stuff that would make it usable for gaming.

I admittedly haven't looked very hard for an alternative. But I fully expect to be forced to move elsewhere in the next year or two due to their increasingly belligerent chasing of profits.
schrieb am 29. Mai 2025, 19:26 zuletzt editiert vonIt feels like literally the entire open source and games communities are on discord. Will they move too? I care about that even more than my DMs.

Users on reddit and lemmy always seem to think ad-based stuff is going to fail, and then it turns out people in the real world are depressingly accepting of ads. I would bet that this program is more likely to be expanded than canceled.

I warned my friends that Discord is looking to go public. Just wait, it's going to get a lot worse.

How do I bot this so I don't see the ads and get free nitro so ads are removed?
schrieb am 29. Mai 2025, 19:45 zuletzt editiert vonNo need, use discord canary.

I have the "touch grass" one from April Fool's day. It's pretty funny.
I paid $30 for a year of Nitro basic. I don't think I'll do it again. All the actually useful features for me (longer messages and bigger uploads) are behind the more expensive one, and it's not worth it.
schrieb am 29. Mai 2025, 21:05 zuletzt editiert vonThe only feature I would care about with nitro is using emojis everywhere but that feature isn't worth any amount of money let alone whatever discord is charging for it

I told my sister she can use an adblock to block ads while she's browsing. She said "why would i want to do that, ads show me what to buy" she loves personalised ads and the idea that all her interests are being track so she can be served relevant ads.

Its not that most people like the ads (although personalized ads are really nice), it's that most people legitimately don't give a shit. Nobody really cares that PC gaming is "better", or Linux is "better", or building your own PC is "better" except the turbo nerds like us (and yes, im including you kind reader as you are on Lemmy)

how good of an alternative is matrix to discord?

Mark my words, any free service that hosts images is on the cycle. I saw it happen to Reddit and Imgur
Promising to host everyone's data for free forever is a promise that only a devil at a crossroads can make

Online software development life cycle in a nutshell:
Startup - Geeks are in charge and you're creating a cool communications platform.
Mature - Accountants are in charge and you're gamifying ad clicks. -
