CIt's the exact same as Reddit, just federated
KPick any instance and make an account for it
KThat's it, you now have reddiit 2.0
Psigning up for the gay instance
CIt is written in Rust
KI did the SDF
KElder Unix nerds
Poh the SDF has one?
Pthat's kind
KThey have a Mastodon too
PLOL
PLOL LOL LOL
PLMAO
Pmastodon is literally a black hole
KGood place to talk to Linux nerds
KNobody else though
CMastodon reminds me a lot of 2014 Twitter for some reason
CThe random stuff
Pand even then there are better places to talk to linux nerds
CLike IRC?
Pno like discord my guy the entire planet uses discord
CNot me if I can help it
Pmastodon poses an issue for its own growth by being completely unsuitable for any kind of media or marketing entities
KDo you have any idea how many weirdos come out of nowhere to tell us that Discord is stupid and we should have an element channel, daily?
Pyes
Pi've been in that position myself
Pthey can get fucked until sliding sync MSC actually gets implemented
AMy only issue with discord is that it silos information away from search engines
Pi don't think acting like a self-righteous luddite is a hallmark of good experience and if you cut yourself off from society like that you only end up losing your bearings faster
Plinux "greybeards" might be the most annoying scooby doo ghost i've ever heard of
POooOOOooooOOOO we're here to reclaim SuuUUUuuuUUusSSSSEEEEE
PBACK I SAY
CThere's Matrix bridges and such but they do need to be maintained, not really a set and forget
CAt least the Discord ones I've seen
Pehhhh if you disable a few features on your discord server you can get by
Pit's still a manual process when it comes to moderating but if you're ahead of everything it's not too insane
Pand if you only need to keep a mirror of the server for ministerial reasons it's actually perfect
Pthe main issue right now is just that matrix 1.0 is fundamentally broken
Pnobody cares until they can login and view a server without spending five minutes syncing
CI don't know about broken, but it is slow
Pthat's why it's broken
PMatrix 2.0 proposal is all about this
P
P Right now, according to Synapse’s opt-in usage reporting, in total there are 111,873,374 matrix IDs on the public network, spanning 17,289,201 rooms, spread over 64,256 servers. until 2.0 is stable, federating your mirrored server etc. is basically shooting yourself in the footPbecause during sync you have to resolve everything you've networked to
CHm, there's Element X on mobile for previewing it right now
Pyah that's been around for a bit. sliding sync isn't actually too far off being a part of Synapse.
Pthe VOIP stuff and sync taking ten years is the biggest stuff that prevents user uptake though
CThey've been testing voice rooms for a while too
