So the lawsuits are going great, then

I mean. I’m generally an app snob and prefer them most of the time. But we also can just use the website. Lots of people visit YouTube simply in a browser on mobile, without the app on any platform.

One tip would be to use email addresses that you actually check for mission critical accounts.

I poked around with Matrix a bit this week but I’m confused as to how it’s being touted as a replacement for Discord. TBC, I’ve been on Mastodon since 2019 and absolutely want these people-powered alternatives to succeed.

I’m not even talking about the onboarding part, I mean the actual function of the app. With Discord you join a community (server, whatever) and there are a bunch of separate channels, usually separated by topics. I joined a few Matrix servers and they all seem to be one single channel; just one big ol’ scrolling chat where everyone is talking about everything.

Unless I’m missing something, I don’t understand how this will work at all for Discord users looking to jump ship.

Probably a good thing I started seriously exploring Ghost today. Seems like a great alternative.
