I HATE #Discord's thread etiquette. The fact servers can disable threads makes it even worse.
You can really only have 1 discussion for 1 entire channel. For large servers you can't really discuss anything outside of what the group is.
Makes any large server not approachable.

A prenu asserts/accuses/whatever that (VARIK sends an image (of Google Images), a.k.a. "$A$", and falsely asserts that VARIK creates $A$). The accusing sucks... but amuses VARIK. VARIK creates the photograph, and the accusing indicates that VARIK creates a photograph which is right bitchin'.

VARIK is banned. Additionally, the thing claims that banning VARIK is justified by that VARIK strangely communicates. But the user does-not claim that that banning VARIK is justified by that VARIK insults.
VARIK "opines" that "fortunate" applies. VARIK does-not desire that VARIK uses a chatroom which is owned by things which forbid strangeness but permit insulting.
VARIK suggests that Paradox Paws, which is a Discord server, is not used.
Unfortunately, #TheMirror, a #FOSS real-time game development platform based on #GodotEngine that strives for a full backwards convertability of assets and byproducts, potentially dashing Roblox competitor and developers of which contribute back to upstream, doesn't have an official room on #Matrix and resorts to #Discord. It is rather weird for a product that wants you to own your data. Well, not conversation media, apparently.
A part of me wants to believe it's simply a desire for the network effect at early stages (product is in alpha) and that involved parties have weighed the trade-offs. Lack of communication on this department in their blog plants a seed of doubt in me, though. And it's a shame, really, because I genuinely want this thing grow. Why won't it allow itself to be loved, by reaching its hand to at least one #OpenSource forum or chat solution?
"After you set up your PDS and join the PDS Admins Discord to submit a request for your PDS to be added to the network, your PDS’s data will get routed to other services in the network"
BWHAHAHAH YOU NEED TO FUCKING JOIN A DISCORD FOR THIS?
someone on a Japanese hacker forum decided it was a good idea to spam the entire Fediverse because they wanted to cancel a minor that DDoSed a Discord bot which apparently made them lost millions (what?)
A Discord bot. I can't make this shit up man.
The real culprit seems to be someone who goes by mumei in the ctkpaarr.org forums, whose first post was literally a threat to ap12, that if they don't delete their "Kuroneko Server" Discord bot, they will spam every blog, forum and SNS and cancel him.
This shit is ridiculous.
The ap12 account from mastodon-japan was actually fake, and this dude impersonated a minor to get all of the Fediverse (us) to bully him.
Hello!
My name is Akihisa Ito, aka ap12, and I run the criminal organization "Black Cat Server"!
Did you know about the person named kuroneko6423?
Whether you know him or not, please read this first.
The "Black Cat" server, a criminal organization run by him, commits various criminal acts on a daily basis.
The most characteristic among them is DDoS attacks!
kuroneko6423 possesses a number of DDoS attack tools and routinely conducts DDoS attacks on large numbers of servers to cause server downtime!
Besides that, he also runs VOICEVOX reading bot and VOICEROID reading bot on Discord, and collects messages and member information collected via the bot, passwords sent to the server and personal information (address, phone number, credit card information...) of members participating in the server, credit card information) collected and sold to hackers!
Thus, Black Cat Server is a very good criminal organization that contributes to society on a regular basis!
This reading bot is currently provided free of charge!
Why don't you install it too?
I'll put up a list of bots operated by our organization.
Last chance to play these great chiptune beats before #Discord shuts down their publicly accessible CDN. :catjam:
A collection of classic demoscene chiptune beats I remasted in #OpenMPT
I lowered instrument amplitude to remove peaking, increase #DynamicRange and added various VST effects for enhanced stereo. Enjoy :BlobhajHeart:
With Meta beginning to test federation, there's a lot of discussion as to whether we should preemptively defederate with Threads. I made a post about the question, and it seems that opinions differ a lot among people on Kbin. There were a lot of arguments for and against regarding ads, privacy, and content quality, but I don't...
I feel the post doesn't really address my concerns.
Really? You think Threads will take over and rule Mastodon? Threads is its own platform, users on the fediverse can still join Mastodon #servers of their choice and leave. I expect we'l see plenty of anti #threads Mastodon servers pop up. If Threads were to somehow get an influence in Mastodon, just switch to #lemmy switch to #pixelfed switch to #firefish So many choices.
This seems to not really understand the risk Threads poses. Threads is its own platform, yes, but it will dominate the visible content of any instance that federates with it. It's very dangerous to depend on a massive, profit-driven corporation for activity on the fediverse, as the things we value on the fediverse (decentralization, transparency, even distribution of content between instances, etc.) go against the corporation's motives. Meta does not stand to benefit from any of the things we value, and most of the Threads userbase (i.e. casual Instagram users) probably won't notice or care about federation. Meta does benefit if everyone depends on them for content, as then they can pull people to Threads just by defederating. People will choose to go to Threads where the amount of activity is what they're used to over staying on their Mastodon instance after activity has plummeted and they can't see most of the people they follow.
This is a big one. Meta might capture the mainstrean fediverse. Lets just be real the average regular internet user wasn't going to join Mastodon in the first place. Not that they wouldn't want to it just isn't on their list next to #facebook#instagram#tiktok#youtube#discord or even #twitter . Actually I take what Meta is doing as a compliment to the fediverse. Remember Twitter at one time under #elon#elonmusk banned the talk of Mastodon or something like that. Threads might not have our interests at heart but they are already mainstream so why should they not allow their users be federated with us?
Yes, there are definitely a lot of people that the fediverse is just never going to appeal to. But of those who are interested in the fediverse, more will be inclined to join Threads due to it having most of the content & just requiring an Instagram login. There is a pool of people out there who will try out the fediverse if they're introduced to it — that's how we all got here — and if people can interact with the big Mastodon, Kbin, etc. instances from Threads, many will choose to do that when they wouldn't have otherwise.
Discord being down is a reminder and good a time as any to try out some decentralized alternatives.
Have you ever heard of @matrix or @element ?
The protocol is run by a nonprofit foundation and it shares similarities with #Discord except it's self hosted and #federated.
Made a "Space" that works kind of like a Discord server here:
#Flathub deserves a set of more performant and native applications than being attributed to a page in #Discord's playbook. Stay with me: are we really just going to blindly accept #privacy flaws of this messenger and promote it at the same time?
The fact that it only has got to the head of Discord it's long overdue to verify this popular #Flatpak distribution, I think, is worth a comment on itself, but I'll digress. It is nice that #OpenSource enthusiasts made arrangements for this verification and I have zero disagreements with the result. I'm just stupified that, in all this effort, Discord is treated like some spoon-fed royal baby - at least, according to reactions I see.
So, what was it... Flathub already had a library of nice actively developed #FOSS#applications before these news. I don't see the point in exaggerating the scales on some centralized chat thingabob with well-known #ToS and #telemetry problems, that's all. Thank you for visiting my #dRBBoard talk! ❤
