So what's the status on Matrix chat stuff? I hosted it dor a short while, had some actor ts but it was way too convoluted for my taste. Apart from the metadata shit, is development still ongoing ? Is there something better with a decent userbase (IRC excluded) ?
also, what server should I sign up for now? Why doesn'y leftypol has their own server
also matrix was the worst possible name ever, almost as bad as flood detection
Do you mean the app vs discord?
>>34121No just generally, I really didn't like it as software, but it does have some active communities I liked.
it's yet another half-baked failed product of elitist attitudes in software development where the casual end user is viewed with contempt and not taken into consideration at all at any point in the development process, so you get a messaging platform populated only by software developers who use it to talk to each other and sneer at the rest of the world for being idiots still using discord, while the rest of the world has no interest in it because it's not intuitive or coherent at all and it's too much hassle to figure out how to set up a server or even a client.
>>34128is the left just an aesthetic here?
>>34128Yeah pretty much, but then why use it over irc? I wish irc would come back as a standard tbh
>>34129???
>>34129no, it's just that some people are humble and courageous enough to subvert the status quo by divorcing leftism from intellectualism, to spend their time thinking of ways for everyone in the world to be more free rather than just a minority of privileged academics.
