  I’m a lazy dev and want to get ahead of this, where should I post my updates?

    Back in ye olden days you’d have your own website, a blog, or maybe a forum. It was indexable on Google and anyone could see and interact with your updates. If not for that there’s always steam.

      Pfft we got rid of that yonks ago, now you just have to have an AI rewrite your documentation as a million shitty tutorials that are all search-engine optimised on different websites and hope the user finds one semi-legible.

      It’s a piece of piss, literally.

    On whatever platform(s) you sell your games. The key is not expecting someone to sign up for a different service for your updates.

      Or just have an open forum/place where you don’t need an account to get into some walled off bullshit.

      • circuitfarmer@lemmy.sdf.org ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

        Sure. But the costs for implementing such a thing are certainly above simply using the tools on the platform on which the dev has decided to release their work. If they disagree, don’t release it there.

    Github (and alternatives), Fediverse, Reddit, Matrix

      Do not use Reddit, it’s too ban happy

        So what if you get banned? The person responsible should (IMO) create a dedicated account for that anyway.

        I’d post as long as possible and if banned, I’d create an appropiate information on any other communication channel.

      Who indexes that?
      Can I view it on archive.org?

        There are plenty of mailing lists with web-based archives, like lkml for the Linux kernel. Find a mailing list host you like and go to town.

  Lol “once Duscord enshittifies”. Bro… It happened years ago.

  source

  • ihatefascist@lemm.ee ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

    It was never good from the start, as a voice chat program, it’s miles behind ts3 and mumble, never liked discord, isn’t that what gamer pedo’'s use to get in contact with younger kids anyway?

    source

    • sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

      Nah, it was pretty good when I used it some years back. I stopped using it before all of the nonsense people are complaining about, so at least for me I have a pretty positive perception. I even pushed to use it at work, which was awesome for productivity until my boss (the CEO) switched us to Slack, which was still decent, but a little crappier than Discord at the time.

      I don’t know how it is currently because I actively avoid it for a variety of reasons, but it was pretty good at the time.

      Idk why you’re being downvoted since everything you said was right.

      I think it just got popular because younger gamers don’t know how to use computers, and Discord was easier to use than everything else. The client also looks much nicer than mumble, and overall has better on boarding. The mumble homepage for example looks like a developer site.

      • ihatefascist@lemm.ee ⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

        I got downvoted because 90% uses discord and I said only pedo’s use it to groom children ( which tbf is a bold statement)

        You’ll be surprised but a lot of young and not so young people find discord too difficult to use, they can’t wrap their heads behind the server concept

  lol what, Discord enshittified years ago.

  Hopefully they move to element

  • circuitfarmer@lemmy.sdf.org ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

    Hopefully they just post updates on the platforms they sell their games on. I shouldn’t need to sign up for anything else.

      Anyone remember websites and RSS? Those were the days.

      Why does everything have to get shovelled into someone’s walled garden…

      (Speaking about updates and notifications here, not discussions.)

      • circuitfarmer@lemmy.sdf.org ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

        It’s the walled garden thing that gets me. At some point, people got complacent. I’m 100% confident that there is an entire swath of the population which has never considered that Discord is a corporate entity with corpoate interests. We made open standards for a reason.

    Matrix?

    • sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

      I’m guessing so, since Element is perhaps the most popular Matrix client. There are others though.
