- Comment on RIP Discord: Self-Hosted Discord Alternatives Tested (TeamSpeak, Stoat, Fluxer, Matrix, & More) 1 day ago:
Welcome to self-hosting! I hope you have fun learning stuff. I’m still kind of on the lower-end of the intermediate scale myself, so I’m hoping they’ll be using dockers and docker-compose once the self-host docs are up.
Right now I do think it has screen share, but it doesn’t allow you to share audio at the same time (known bug). Bummer for me too.
I’m just glad that Discord pushed back their age verification stuff for at least a few months so there’s room for Stoat, Fluxer, etc to get some work done.

Agree that tumblr sucks, but if you can find a public instance of (or self-host) priviblur it’s much more tolerable.

When did you last check the self-hosting documentation? I just poked my head into it and there’s a big post talking about why they’d rather people wait on self-hosting.
That said if you liked Fluxer but are not satisfied with it right now (which is completely understandable. It’s in beta, after all, not a finished product), I’d say check back in 2-3 months. I would bet that the self-hosting is ready to go by then, judging by the rate of how other things have been updating.

Love this but I will say that “IRL enshittification” is absolutely a thing. Just take shrinkflation for example.

La’Ron Readus has an interesting video essay on this called ‘The Siren’s Scapegoat’ that I recommend giving a watch if you’re interested on the way movies have handled women being overtly sexual!

I say this as someone with a nebula account and likes to watch stuff from nebula: I strongly dislike their website. My biggest annoyance is I can’t go to a specific creator’s page and search for videos that I know exist, I have to scroll through their entire history searching for it.

I had a mental health professional suggest using ChatGPT to make a day planner, it fucking floored me. We are not in the majority here and it sucks when that sinks in.

Yep. Grabbed mine a few years ago because of the writing on the wall. I’ll treat it like those old school hardback encyclopedias.

I find it also helps the cost is the same as old Nitro was which is pretty affordable IMO.
- Comment on Discord walks back age verification fears for most users 4 weeks ago:
Agree headline is misleading. “Walking Back” implies reversing course, that is not happening.
Plus we all know how great AI age verification is. Big empty “reassurance” there.

One of my friends’ husbands brought it up, so good old word of mouth.
I did notice I wasn’t able to get logged in last night, though the night before I was able to make an account without issue. I wonder if they got a hug of death like Stoat did.
