No problem, revolt is painless to switch to if you dont need video sharing. I prefer it to Matrix just for vidya voice chat its easy.

I get told I'm a Russian hacker when I post it and people are faced with my "did you download Element or some sort of client?" page. The QR was something we chose not to setup as it seemed to not work too well, at least with our server.

Running it is pretty easy, we have a little service in a space that we can send commands to and we dont even have to login to synapse. The guy making the real magic on the backend setup some sort of s3 buckets and that made data management a breeze. I like it, but discord user features still kick the shit out of Matrix.

Edit: I think I read two comments at once. I dont have the brain capacity to sort it out sorry.

I get that but that isolation you get in the "server" you make on Discord does make people feel they are on their own island. Especially tech illiterate people. You can get the same in Matrix. But the way Matrix does things is just different. And it feels like the spaces aren't as isolated. Maybe thats just because I have only experienced Matrix through the admin side and Synapse

You are obligated by the constitution to stop this if you are an American Citizen.

It is, you aren't wrong. But the invisible eye of corporate Discord is not the same. Discord makes you feel like you are in your own space. I found from the servers I am in on Matrix it feels, decidedly less like that. Revolt is a 1 to 1 replacement for discord that is lacking a lot of features. I'd push people to that over Matrix if they are used to discord and just want that again. I'm not even gonna mention Guilded to people.

Anatomy of the State right once again.

At our current rate its looking like it might be easier just to start a new country. Let the Redhats take theirs and we'll build some place sensible.

You do if you want a replacement for "your own discord server"

Yeah get in line and get installed on my computer.

Probably not. Revolt is pretty bare bones but the customization is great. No video sharing.

Matrix is not something you can just set up with no skills.

But Guilded's story is exactly the same as Discord's just one chapter behind.

Religion will keep us belligerently within its clutches forever, won't it?

So you're telling me all we had to do was cop a bunch of these and we could have been right there? Within earshot?
