  Open source your code and then you will have a leg to stand on about trust. Right now it’s just “trust be bro” when you have proven record of beling lying piece of shit.

    That wouldnt even help much. The issue is them being in control of the servers and that its not e2ee. Even if the client is open source, they still get all the data and control.

      If their claims are true then it would help. They claim that they process everything locally and only sends the check to the server. But again, there is literally no reason to trust any word they say without being able to verify it ourselves. Proprietary systems should never be used for this.

      Also their liability avoidance doesn’t inspire confidence. Discord outsources the liability to k-ID and k-ID outsourced the liability to Privately.

  I’m in the process of switching my two communities to Matrix. It’s not bad from a user point of view, but running your own server is such an enormous pain in the ass. Like, way harder than it should be.

    You mean actually hosting a matrix server, like a rocket instance it’s something? Or do you mean having a room (channel? Topic?) on a public matrix server?

    I’ve never done either. Is it even possible to have a private room on a public server?

      I mean actually hosting a Matrix server. Like, on my own hardware. It’s very difficult to set up. Especially if you want audio/video.

  I’m checking out Stoat, and its giving me infinite captchas. Its not fake or something, right?

    I have used Stoat for awhile. It works. I think they’ve been bombarded with new signups so it’s kind of taking their system down. But hopefully they get back up and running. It’s a great opportunity for them right now.

      Good to hear; I like their vibe. I wish it would have errored out instead of fucking with me, but thats tech for you lol. Sitting in the infinite captcha queue, I still feel more respected than I do every time I open discord lol.

    The Discord news is hugging them to death. If you get past the captchas the email verification takes 24h to arrive and is expired when it does.

    Welcome to Lemmy, where there are easy open alternatives that don’t actually work or need 300 lines of new code weekly.

    I had the same issue the other day when I tried to check it out. I think they don’t like VPNs.
