New Discord clone (“Harmony”) with a suspiciously AI-looking website, a single contributor, and blistering development = AI. Took me a minute to find it but it looks like they were scrubbed from a few places ~3 weeks ago.

    Aside from decryption issues I haven’t really experienced any of the others. I think having different clients and homeservers is actually a good thing. Imagine if Lemmy only had one client, the website, then I most likely wouldn’t even be using Lemmy/PieFed.

    I’m not entirely sure what you’re referring to when you say “things”, I’ve been using Cinny for quite some time and haven’t had many issues with it. Most of these projects don’t have (proper) funding so naturally it develops more slowly than platforms with monetisation like Fluxer. It’s worth considering donating or contributing in other ways if you wish to see your favourite client or the protocol improve.

      Obviously decentralization is good. But it does lead to a lot of problems as well where everyone isn’t on the same page.

      What “proper” monetization do you think Fluxer has that these other platforms don’t?

      Why would I contribute to 20 year old projects in the hopes of improvement when Fluxer is already everything I want?
