deserves a set of more performant and native applications than being attributed to a page in 's playbook. Stay with me: are we really just going to blindly accept flaws of this messenger and promote it **at the same time**?

The fact that it only has got to the head of Discord it's long overdue to verify this popular distribution, I think, is worth a comment on itself, but I'll digress. It is nice that enthusiasts made arrangements for this verification and I have zero disagreements with the result. I'm just stupified that, in all this effort, Discord is treated like some spoon-fed royal baby - at least, according to reactions I see.

So, what was it... Flathub already had a library of nice actively developed before these news. I don't see the point in exaggerating the scales on some centralized chat thingabob with well-known and problems, that's all. Thank you for visiting my talk! ❤

# Give my threads back, Discord!

Oh, what a dummy, sweet summer child me... Entrusting one feature (that goes astray from and VoIP nature which this piece of garbage was supposed to keep focus on) with link aggregation and presentation: I'm speaking of Discord's forum threads.

After a week of quality time with , I return to "server" (Discord's term for group) to check up on channels. Lurking, scrolling through this joke of a bulletin board in search of older posts proved futile. Most of the are simply gone! It took me long enough to make these pretty cards, now for them to evaporate without any communication from Discord...

You know what? I'm done with that bite more than they can chew, all the while trashing my content! , - shut the front door!!!

I could post this showcase of links on or potential - now I know this better. Hello, . Welcome , my cool abode!

Removed all links to Discord on my YouTube channel and replaced with Matrix DMs. Oh, I'm eager to ditch YouTube next! :ablobcatcoffee:

Just so we're clear: I include direct messaging link in format of matrix.to/#/@vintprox:envs.net 👌...which has no trouble with. The reason I even publish DM link instead of my , though, is because YouTube has a meltdown from links containing a second # (number sign, replace @ with it to get into my space).

From technical POV, it's one correct away for YouTube, as many modern social media and video platforms can handle it and do use normal . But, on the other hand, service just shouldn't be employing such flawed pattern or provide an alternative one, even if standard allows the former to exist.

So, yeah, there is that - it is hard to gather video viewers in such a place. It's a single thing that I miss from Discord invite links. Matrix ones don't need a vanity and it's sweet - one solution is put it through , but then the entire point is lost.

@harald4toot Aber natürlich. hat offensichtliche Probleme:
– Um meinen Kanal zu finden, ist eine Video-URL oder eine bidirektionale Verbindung zwischen Servern erforderlich, was meine Reichweite erheblich verringert.
– Es hilft nicht, dass in dieser Sache nicht erwähnt wird, um Kommentare zu Videos zu hinterlassen.
- Live-Chat hält an fest, ohne dass es eine Möglichkeit gibt, den vorhandenen Kanal anzugeben, geschweige denn den -Kanal/Homeserver.

@vintprox @harald4toot oh cool, ich wusste nicht dass Peertube XMPP unterstützt
