On the side bar it lists the following:
- [Matrix/Element]Dead
- Discord
“Discord” is an active link, but the Matrix link is completely inactive. Not only is it inactive (which could have be excused as a broken link), but it is also manually labeled as “Dead”, as if there is no intention of making it work. How can a community that is focused on privacy willingly favor a service that is privacy non-respecting when a perfectly functional privacy-respecting alternative exists?
I really don’t understand why people say this, I find is very easy to navigate and use.
You must be a monster. To me it’s very chaotic and hass too many shit going on.
Again, I just don’t understand what you mean by this, there’s a list of servers, you click one and get a list of channels in that server, click one of those and you’ve got a classic chatroom.
What is it you find chaotic?
When I started out with discord I felt like such a boomer. Four years in it’s a breeze, until I made my own server, then it was a few weeks back with the boomer feel.
If you’re coming from mumble/ventrilo or such, there’s quite a bit to learn imo. Especially if you never used skype or the like, and were used to IRC. Or I’m just a boomer…
IRC-dwelling Gen Z here. Discord is an abomination. Not to mention that it’s apparently not very friendly to third-party clients, while the official one as well as browser version is very heavy. Like, “a third of what my whole OS consumes” heavy.
Left Discord a while ago, no regrets.
