Discord began blocking servers with information prohibited in the Russian Federation
С 14 марта 2024 года администрация платформы Discord начала блокировать доступ российским пользователям к некоторым серверам с запрещенной в РФ информацией. Пользователи Discord из РФ сообщили Хабру,...

Can we just go back to personal websites and forums?
Also fuck discord use mumble
It's even worse when open source projects point you towards their discord for questions and support.
It's just a black hole for information
I hate that so much, especially when GitHub lets have your own wiki. It's just lazy devs.
Maybe the devs love keeping answering same questions over Discord? =D
Naw, they just like to see that 60-70% unanswered rate for problems and issues. Makes for the best community support.
Highest effort, lowest reward.
Fucking feel that hard, I just nope the fuck outta there.
looks around at the fediverse uh we kinda already are...
Not exactly.
but very similar
It's still more like a townsquare with everyone talking than like a bunch of thematic pubs, so - doesn't feel the same.
there are thematic pubs and even entire instances tho.
its like bb forums but interconnected
I meant - structured however you want it. Different sites, not different Lemmy instances.
Discord is trash, had issues with a KBDFans product, something as simple as a search of a forum would have given me the solution. I had to talk to a human to get the required information. They sent me a link to a firmware to download and all was good.
If I was able to search a forum it would have been a 2 minute job, but I wasted someone else's time, on the other side of the globe.
Discord has a search function tho?
And if you've ever used it you know how bad the search feature is. Case in point https://support.discord.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/360043045592-Exact-search
please do show me a single messaging platform that can easily and sanely house a population of >50k people on the same server, and allows that for absolutely free, while providing reasonably high quality voice messaging and streaming with negligible latency
While discord doesn't necessarily cost money, it for sure also isn't free. In fact it's the reddit problem but way worse. A proprietary non-searchable database with all content fully licensed to discord including the right to sub-license. At least, Reddit had an API and is still searchable through their public facing http. I mean I get people don't want their group messages readable by everyone, bit for large groups, it makes sense.
No it does not.
The Group chat is a chat.
The public chat is basically a never ending forum post with 100 pages.
IRC + Mumble.
We had these things in 2007
Why would I ever want that?
I can’t think of a single instance where I want to be messaging 50k people at once
You're doing it right now.
I was gonna be like weeeell but the population of c/technology is in fact 52k so
I am posting something publicly but I am not holding a conversation with all of you simultaneously
If this was equivalent then you would have never seen my message due to the time between ours
Hence you shouldn't use discord
Matrix?
Join my discord for tutorials on how to setup your own static webpage!
Guilty, but I'm moving my guides to Lemmy!
The self hosted movement should be bigger!
What's mumble?
