#Flathub deserves a set of more performant and native applications than being attributed to a page in #Discord's playbook. Stay with me: are we really just going to blindly accept #privacy flaws of this messenger and promote it at the same time?
The fact that it only has got to the head of Discord it's long overdue to verify this popular #Flatpak distribution, I think, is worth a comment on itself, but I'll digress. It is nice that #OpenSource enthusiasts made arrangements for this verification and I have zero disagreements with the result. I'm just stupified that, in all this effort, Discord is treated like some spoon-fed royal baby - at least, according to reactions I see.
So, what was it... Flathub already had a library of nice actively developed #FOSS#applications before these news. I don't see the point in exaggerating the scales on some centralized chat thingabob with well-known #ToS and #telemetry problems, that's all. Thank you for visiting my #dRBBoard talk! ❤
Oh, what a dummy, sweet summer child me... Entrusting one feature (that goes astray from #SynchronousSoftware and VoIP nature which this piece of garbage was supposed to keep focus on) with link aggregation and presentation: I'm speaking of Discord's forum threads.
After a week of quality time with #Matrix, I return to #dRCS "server" (Discord's term for group) to check up on #forum channels. Lurking, scrolling through this joke of a bulletin board in search of older posts proved futile. Most of the #threads are simply gone! It took me long enough to make these pretty cards, now for them to evaporate without any communication from Discord...
You know what? I'm done with #CentralizedPlatforms that bite more than they can chew, all the while trashing my content! #Discord, #Reddit - shut the front door!!!
I could post this showcase of links on #Kbin or potential #PersonalBlog - now I know this better. Hello, #devRant. Welcome #dRBB, my cool abode!
Whenever you visit #dRBB, you will see slight changes in the #Kbin header. I moved instance's home link to the right to prevent any accidental exits. And there is now a solid icon just in case.
If you have any suggestions, feel free to leave a reply.
After some work by contributors of #Mbin to introduce an indication of magazine in the top bar, I'm happy to say that it's more clear now WHERE on the site you happen to be. Happily, my little CSS trick has adapted to it quickly, but I made #dRBB icon smaller to prevent it stealing space.
Again, thanks to the Mbin contributors! There is a lot of work done already, and I feel confident with this fork of #Kbin to improve one of the store fronts of Fediverse.
Here on #dRBB we think of #OC as an original content, or an original creation. Think the entire process of production, from start to finish: can you call this your own work? If preview or anything that sits in the thread you're posting contains copyrighted work of someone else, it's most likely just an adaptation/repost and as such you cannot claim it as OC.
OC threads have this small mark prepended to the title to set it apart from other works. Traditionally, OCs get more liberty from the discovery algorythms. I'm not entirely sure how it works on #Kbin, compared to #Reddit, but in any situation think of the reader first and algorythm second.
If the piece you're about to share was made by you and you only, don't hesitate and mark it as the original content! But avoid using OC mark for discussion starters, as they don't prove substantial enough of a work as such...
I think my personalized plug is working and making waves. People of #devRant seem to readily accept #dRBB magazine in their steady introduction to #Kbin & #Fediverse. Now, I'm just getting ready for all kinds of guests in this attempt to bring dR up from its knees! 😉
