We have another event that invites people over to our side!
Please remember as people are looking for places to go to be kind. The reason Linux took so long to “take off” is because us linux folks (myself included) were proud of the high bar to entry. Encourage people to be curious, help them learn the ropes, don’t bog them down with technical details or the battles that have been taking place on X technology over Y technology. Offer an open easy place for them to come talk.
Once they get the foot in the door for a few months we can show them how awesome Linux is!
But X technology is inferior to Y technology and if they don’t know that they’re not real Linux users!!!
If we don’t warn them about it they’ll obviously be unhappy they should knowww!
(In reality they get confused, they leave, and then they keep using the corpo controlled version)
Soooo… Revolt?
Or is there a better Discord-Esque alternative in the Fediverse?
I’m talking about Chat and Voice channels here.
Revolt (now Stoat) is an option, personally I don’t like it because there is no federation and it’s text-only.
I’m using Matrix, with Element, which does have encrypted voice chat if you set it up. I want federation because I don’t want my users to be locked into only my server. However, the bar for entry is higher.
Mumble and XMPP are still chugging along
ah crap, I play archipelago randomizers, and the communication, and notifications for updates are exclusively through discord.
they’re not getting my face or ID, but when we start to refer to the pokemon move water gun as water pew, I may need to stop.
Matrix it is, only had discord still for it’s widespread use
just say ‘doggo’ and ‘w00t’ and ‘roflmao’ a couple times and the AI will peg you as an elder millennial and leave you alone
