That’s how it is unfortunately. The best way to get people on Matrix would be by communities hosting on Matrix and advertising that actively in their Discord guilds. Providing simple instructions to pick a client and sign up. Show people they can customise how they like etc, that will help, people love shiny things. Once you have people signed up and using the platform, then they can figure out the federation by being exposed to it.
Matrix is better in all these regards yes, but Revolt has one major upperhand. Onboarding simplicity. A big reason the fediverse has struggled to gain major traction.
If you have to read documentation to understand how to sign up to something, then that’s immediately enough friction to turn users away. Bluesky worked because it was simple sign-up, Mastodon has switched to this too now, offering a button to send people immediately to a signup page on their default server. For major adoption, you have to get people in the door before you explain federation, not the other way around. Sending people to list of servers and clients they can use is bad user experience for the masses.
Revolt will appeal to Discord users more than Matrix, because you download Revolt and sign up to Revolt, there’s no extra thought required.
It’s cool, but the problem is the scale, how is Revolt going to fund the server costs if people ever started migrating from Discord? Just purely donations?
Okay, then people can download whatever they want, maybe they are making their own ai too.
Just use NewPipe or one of it’s forks.
Yeah. You know the saying “living under a rock”? The people in this thread have never even looked under the rock.
You’d be surprised then. Bill Gates was the richest man and not everyone knew him either. Warren Buffett was too and even less knew him.
Maybe in America.
Seems unlikely when exposed to communities like this online, seems very likely when you talk to people who dont go online much.
Prove there isnt. Just because we sit on the internet well connected, doesnt mean the average joe is. As I was saying about not knowing who owns other automotive companies, can you name them all? Can you tell me all their political views? It’s not too hard to imagine someone buying a tesla without researching the company, come on.
And anyone who does or did know about musk owning them before, could have bought the car before he became a prolific nazi. You cant be serious if you think every tesla owner did deep research into elon musk. Thats so out of touch.
There’s tesla buyers who dont even know who musk is or what he does/owns. I dont know who owns BMW, Ford, Volkswagen etc. People could easily decide to buy a tesla and not know.
And using hate to fight hate isn’t always the best, these maga fucks will just use it as fuel for their regime, embarassing them is a much better way, stickers etc sure, but you shouldnt be physically violent to the person.
Yeah, op just had a very rare experience.
Are there actually any good printers? I would pay more for the printer itself if you just don’t try and scam me afterwards. It feels like a hopeless space.
Then adding too many options is the problem, not having options in the first place.
Yeah, I hate how projects become allergic to options. If you want to push your own agenda with new defaults, okay fine, but never ever remove options, let people keep it how they liked it.
Unfortunately Edge is the 2nd most popular browser, with double the market share of Firefox.
It would be absurd to record calls, the expense of it isnt worth it.
I doubt it too, but it’s okay, I mostly use it for calls anyway. The messages are just organising times.
It has had one, TeamSpeak 5 and now they are adding screen-sharing with TeamSpeak 6. I think they would have held a good market if they worked on an upgrade sooner, they only released a beta for TS5 once Discord had gotten super popular. If they were more proactive I think most of us would be using TeamSpeak instead now. It’s just borderline impossible to convince people to move service.
I had the same experience, I think the simplest way is to just have servers separated like they are now in Discord, and you can join them and chat in them even if you signed up at a different server.
