@computersandblues while I totally agree on that in principle it was Freenode that kicked us (and everyone else) out during the hostile takeover.

…and well, for a foss game it's where the gamers are anyway.

(Alas we do not use it for documentation).

I'm currently evaluating Matrix again and considering a bridge but damn… even Element, "the reference" is as annoying and sluggish as I remembered it 😩

It's not that easy.

@computersandblues looks like #Element listened and is showing itself from it's best side today 😩

Element (app) endless loading screen never finishing.

@bekopharm
Hm, I'm using #Element daily on mobile and desktop without issues. Maybe, it's good not to use the main homeserver matrix.org?
@computersandblues
#Matrix

@computersandblues other than it's a really rough interface, what is the reason? (i'm just genuinely curious) -- and what are better alternatives?
thx!

@winnie it's not about discord specifically, more that i'm afraid that the motives of companies like discord or slack are adverse to the interests of many of the communities that rely on them when viewed on a larger time frame. this is basically what http://ascii.textfiles.com/archives/5509 is about, and really what i'd try to avoid, like so: https://post.lurk.org/@computersandblues/110063161665886239
