#Flathub deserves a set of more performant and native applications than being attributed to a page in #Discord's playbook. Stay with me: are we really just going to blindly accept #privacy 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 #Flatpak distribution, I think, is worth a comment on itself, but I'll digress. It is nice that #OpenSource 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 #FOSS #applications before these news. I don't see the point in exaggerating the scales on some centralized chat thingabob with well-known #ToS and #telemetry problems, that's all. Thank you for visiting my #dRBBoard talk!
# Give my threads back, Discord!
Oh, what a dummy, sweet summer child me... Entrusting one feature (that goes astray from #SynchronousSoftware 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 #Matrix, I return to #dRCS "server" (Discord's term for group) to check up on #forum channels. Lurking, scrolling through this joke of a bulletin board in search of older posts proved futile. Most of the #threads 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 #CentralizedPlatforms that bite more than they can chew, all the while trashing my content! #Discord, #Reddit - shut the front door!!!
I could post this showcase of links on #Kbin or potential #PersonalBlog - now I know this better. Hello, #devRant. Welcome #dRBB, my cool abode!
#Discord Saga: Gymnastics
Removed all links to Discord on my YouTube channel and replaced with Matrix DMs. Oh, I'm eager to ditch YouTube next!
Just so we're clear: I include #Matrix direct messaging link in format of https://matrix.to/#/@vintprox:envs.net ...which #YouTube has no trouble with. The reason I even publish DM link instead of my #MatrixSpace, 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 #RegularExpression away for YouTube, as many modern social media and video platforms can handle it and do use normal #regex. But, on the other hand, #MatrixTo service just shouldn't be employing such flawed #URL pattern or provide an alternative one, even if #URI 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 #URLShortner, but then the entire point is lost.
@vintprox DU kennst Peertube, nehme ich an?
@harald4toot Aber natürlich. #PeerTube 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 #Fediverse in dieser Sache nicht erwähnt wird, um Kommentare zu Videos zu hinterlassen.
- Live-Chat hält an #XMPP fest, ohne dass es eine Möglichkeit gibt, den vorhandenen Kanal anzugeben, geschweige denn den #Matrix-Kanal/Homeserver.
(Bitte kennzeichnen Sie Ihre Beiträge in Zukunft mit der entsprechenden Sprache. Andernfalls muss jeder einfach den Übersetzer starten und Ihre Nachricht manuell weiterleiten.)
@vintprox @harald4toot oh cool, ich wusste nicht dass Peertube XMPP unterstützt
Discord is not a knowledge base
You need to consider your own website first, Mbin/Lemmy second.
