I can’t unsee the source as BDSM Movement.

Who?

I’ve done this. It had the opposite effect.

Thank you! I now understand the joke.

I was with you until the last step. How did it all get sorted, instead of having two “peaks”?

I’ve always liked threadiverse, since it describes what’s unique about this aspect of the Fediverse.

Will you publish the aggregate results in any way?

Yup. And all of these are unfortunately big enough barriers to keep the majority of internet users on the default. Because Discord has a decent phone app and is reliable enough right now.

Accurate username

I think the FOSS alternatives are great, but most users still prefer convenience over privacy.

I wish Revolt was federated, so we’d have a(n almost) one-to-one drop-in replacement.

Matrix has group chats and spaces, but there’s apparently still issues with moderation, the bridging tech isn’t reliable, but I haven’t seen anyone successfully use it for voice chat, let alone video.

Mumble is apparently better at voice chat but then you have to also get everyone on the same chat app.

Discord hasn’t enshittified enough for people to be willing to switch to less convenient alternatives, and based on how many people still use Twitter, it’s going to take a lot.
