Sounds like you need to upgrade your toaster, noob.

I mean, there’s nothing technically stopping one app supporting both protocols natively, especially since Lemmy already includes a field for people’s profiles to link their Matrix ID. Though to my knowledge none do it yet.

Hoffman was the head pedo and creator of jailbait is just as valid

No, it is not.

your opinion that it was a joke that he nothing to do with it

Not the opinion I expressed.

He was a mod for a while, but not the top mod. Top mod is the creator, unless the creator quits, passing it off to second mod. And he was mod at a time when anyone could be added as a mod without their consent. No need to accept an invite.

It’s bad enough that he was happy to let the subreddit exist for as long as it did even after significant on-site pressure to remove it. The same thing he did half a decade later with the_Donald. The fact that it took mainstream media criticism to be willing to take it down should be scathing enough. We don’t need to make up bs.

That’s cos it’s not true. He was a mod of it for a while, but I’ve not seen any verification of how long that was, and it was at a time when you could just add someone as a mod without them needing to approve it. But he was definitely not its founder.

He did allow it to stick around until the mainstream media started kicking up a fuss about it. That would be bad enough. We don’t need to make shit up.

That’s disappointing. Do you happen to know if fixing this up to work as expected is on the roadmap? Or something they’ve acknowledged and specifically rejected? Or no idea yet?

I’ve just come across this quite recent Reddit thread and have to be honest…it’s pretty much hit the nail on the head for me. Both the OP and many of the comments. bibober’s comment in particular.

If it’s just a lack of resources to develop these features quickly enough, that’s cool. But I’ll be extremely disappointed if they’ve decided that these are use cases they specifically don’t care about.

I’m a little stuck on permissions. I created a Space for my gaming group to move to Discord, and added a few rooms to it. I’m the admin, but I added a couple of other users as Mods. One of those mods added a Room to the Space. As a Space admin, I would expect to be able to edit a Room within my Space.

Documentation I’ve been able to find about it is mixed. The Space itself has a setting that says Moderators should be able to manage Rooms:

But various other threads have people suggesting it isn’t possible. Nothing clear in the official documentation I’ve found.

My own experience: I haven’t figured out if it’s possible or how to do it. I want users in my Space to automatically see all the Rooms, so they don’t have to go and look any time a new Room is created. And for permissions on the Space to flow to control over Rooms within it. Is this possible, to your knowledge?

Huh?

Personally I think if LW wants to ban a certain kind of content, more power to them. But they should be transparent about it.

If they’ve said they’ll unban pirate content, then pirate content should be allowed. If they want it banned, fine, but make a statement clarifying that that is the case.

OP is doing good work by pointing this out.

Yeah sorry, I was mostly just making a joke there.

What do we do now that shitty government policies are forcing us off of Discord? Revolt.

The complaints are definitely fair. It’s noticeably less polished than Discord. But well worth trying out to see if that polish is an issue that will actually matter to you.

I heard about for in the Uk and aussielands, because they are leading the way in subjugating the internet to ai, to id every account

Fwiw Australia’s law quite specifically says they can’t require ID for age verification, requires that if the user does choose to use ID it cannot be used for any other purposes.

Aside from ID, they’re allowed a variety of options for age detection. Most of them seem to have gone with a short of sentiment analysis type technique. They work out you’re over 16 based on the fact that your account is 10+ years old (and not many <6 year olds have accounts) or you’re talking about politics more than Bluey. That’s not collecting any data they didn’t already have.

Matrix does exactly that.

I’ve only used it for private chats, but you can also have a public discoverable chat. And you can sign up at one of many federated servers. The biggest and likely easiest being matrix.org.

Is the third one of these a chat app or a verb?

Yeah the last thing you didn’t bring up was screen share. I’ve found Element’s screen sharing to be rather lacklustre. It’s share whole screen only, rather than having application or game-specific sharing (and Discord’s gamer-specific feature of detecting you’re in a game and immediately surfacing the option to share that is excellent here). And when I’ve used it, I’ve found audio from the game doesn’t make it through, and I’m not sure if it’s possible (I’ve never really tried looking through all the deep options) to send game audio while also having your mic, without using third-party software to mix the two together into one stream—which would necessarily break your choice detection filter.

Wait, there are still ABC stores?

Matrix would be great for that. You just need a single room for that sort of thing, and the video support is pretty great.

Hear hear!

Matrix is an ok alternative to Discord for what Discord does.

Support forums are not an appropriate use of Discord, or of Matrix. Discourse is pretty great open source forum software. NodeBB forums even added ActivityPub support! I never particularly like when companies use Reddit as a primary communication method, and for the same reason I’d rather they didn’t use Lemmy or Piefed, but all of these are vastly better options than Discord, Matrix, or other un-indexable private chats.

Its only available in DMs not groupchats

Oh right, nice catch. Yeah I only use it as a Discord alternative, so no audio calls for me yet.

Anyway, audio calls in that way aren’t quite what I’m after anyway. They’ll work. They’ll do the job. Just like the existing video calls with webcams turned off do the job. But the Discord style chat room with an assumption of audio only on voice detection, with robust screensharing (including PC audio!) capabilities in an otherwise audio-only call is what I’m really after.

They added that recently (element-call audio only i mean) its the phone icon at the top

I don’t see that. Video, Threads, Room Info, People is all I have at the top of my rooms.
