  Where should we go? So many game dev communities are only on discord :(

    IRC & Matrix

      Maybe things changed but last I checked Matrix kinda sucked. I’m not sure how it’s any more secure than Discord but it has worse quality for voice and video calls, so it just seems like Discord but worse, although no microtransactions is nice, although although there aren’t any account decoration in the slightest either so

    They’ll offboard too, if they know what’s good for them.

    Other people have been recommending other apps and websites like Stoat and Team Speak though I am sure that a new app will use this opportunity to go viral.

      I mean, let me know when it does. I’ll hang out with the Teenager Lock enabled and keep my biometrics to myself.

      But there’s no point changing social media ecosystems if nobody I know is in the new site.

    Have you considered self hosting Matrix?

    • WraithGear@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

      yea, but with the video streaming team speak seems better equipped for gameing, at the cooler of the federated capability of martix, but i am not sure what these benefits would be

    Good that there are alternatives but I bet that won’t last for long. More and more apps will copy this.

      Or just get bought out. Discord was supposed to be the answer to Twitch getting gobbled up. Then Microsoft gobbled Discord.

      Does anyone seriously believe there’s an indie third party social media site immune to a multi-million (possibly even billion) dollar buyout offer? One that won’t go the way of TikTok and be legislatively forced into sale?

        i mean… i will pay the license for it, AND i have to self host it, so they have a monetary scheme that will delay the need for sensitization. but it’s 5$ or something, and reportedly has better audio quality, faster transfer rates, and lower overhead then discord. and because i am hosting it, i will have complete control over it and its white list
