Comment on Discord Users Threaten Exodus Over Age Verification Face Scan Controversy
Hawk@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 days agoMy community just setup a Matrix instance and we’re migrating everyone over. Several already cancelled their subscription.
I actually ran into a colleague in a random room, who is also leaving Discord.
It’s pretty nuts, there’s a big exodus going on.

Any guides? Been looking at Element but that set up is intimidating.

Are you self hosting? I just set up and instance today and it was extremely easy following the instructions for the ESS Community edition on github.

I was going to run it on an old gaming PC i been using for piHole. I was thinking a VM as I couldn’t find a premade container and don’t want public stuff running on the machine directly. I was still trying to work my way though reading the docs but got hung up on understanding Kubernetes before starting the setup. I also got sick of fighting Virtual Machine Manager pool location permissions last night.

If you plan on federating, it can end up being pretty resource heavy, so consider either not federating or planning ahead.
