I am so so confused by all the messaging apps, what do people use discord for that other apps cant do
I played online for the first tike since AC Brotherhood the other week and realised a whatsapp callnisnt ideal but I dont know what improvements are needed
Discord has communities.
Want to build a voron 3d printer? -> discord.
Want to be part of the development of some Indy game? -> discord.
Want to engage with some community from a YouTube channel? -> discord.
Some GitHub project? -> discord.
The list goes on….
Is it open or locked to the platform? All them conversations are private then, people cant find them in five years when they have the same issue
Yes. It is a closed platform. But you asked why people use it.
Can talk cryptocurrency on there?
No. Use Nostr for that, since it’s already overrun by crypto-bros over there.
character limit, upload limit, community limit, no username per server unless you pay for a subscription? hard pass.
This won’t become federated simply because of the fact you have to pay to unlock these features. If I made a fluxer server then I wouldn’t charge my users for having a stupid animated gif avatar. I know discord is shit but this thing ain’t the alternative.
So far I’m lovin matrix, bit it’s not really discord alternative, I mean there is no screen sharing or Voice Call ig?
But because I’m into computers and Linux there are somany spaces filled with fellow penguins, I’m not sure if someone else can find rooms for their own hobbies though…
There is screen sharing and voice call on Matrix. Just depends ok the setup of the server and what client you use.
What is flathub?
A place where you get software for Linux, in the form of flatpaks.
