It’s called blasting processing! As a reference to we all know the sega mega drive/ genesis. It’s a retro gaming space built around the standard definition era of console gaming!

What's the advantages of Osmium? In general I don't think it's a good idea to move from one closed-source system (Discord) to another (Osmium) since they'll eventually enshittify it too.

Since you're already using one Fediverse platform (Lemmy), have you considered using Matrix?

The advantage of osmium is that they are completely privacy first, I like to think of them as the proton or tuta of discord like apps

No ads and no spying sounds good. But how do the actually sustain it economically? Without a clear answer to that quation its just pre-enshittified...

theres a premium sub for 6 euro.

Thanks for clarification. Their website makes no mention of pricing or any paywalled functionality.
Whats different between free and premium?

Dont really feel a signup.should be necessary to find this stuff out.
