Am I the only one who thinks #discord is just one giant mess in which almost everything gets lost in the noise. How did we come to this situation where everyone relies on this single, centralized chat service?
@AngryAnt yes, like #rocket.chat or even #irc, but more and more open source projects, including #godot rely on #discord which is not accessible for a very very large part of the human population....
@delegatevoid An open source project with only a Discord server is as pathetic as one with bug reporting, discussion, and issue tracking only on The Facebook.
I don't think that is as much an indicator of service convergence as it is of deteriorating quality of project administration.
@delegatevoid 100%. And a major disservice to the project.
Everyone involved at a core level should already be keenly aware of Matrix, with its sea of bridges to other services like Discord, Slack, IRC, The Facebook, Signal, whatever.
Choosing a closed platform in the face of that is just sad.
@AngryAnt Deep Packet Inspection, as soon as it looks like a certain protocol it gets blocked.
Sometimes you can get lucky, it'll work for 20 minutes and then... finished. Right now the only thing that works consistently is delta, since it just uses imap/smtp which is not something anyone wants to block if they want to remain economically relevant.
