This is completely counter productive to growing Lemmy. I absolutely despise discord. Look at the network traffic it generates and tell me wtf they are doing. They won’t tell you. Their business model will leave you completely dumbfounded as to how they exist. Everything shared on the platform is lost in a black hole unavailable to the outside world and everything shared is a privacy nightmare. Posting this, pinning it here, and locking it is one of the biggest trolls possible. It pisses me off every time I log in. “Everyone else does it” is the excuse of idiots. Discord makes absolutely no sense to anyone that actually cares to look into it, read the user agreement, and ask sane questions about what they are doing.
If volunteers were to setup a Matrix room, would it be possible to add a pinned post with it in a similar way to the Discord one?
As always, thank you for your work!
That would interfere with any official matrix set up by our team should we decide to in the future. I appreciate your proposal don’t get me wrong but then others will ask the same for their own ideas/projects and the announcement community is strictly for official Lemmy World announcements.
I completely understand, and that’s why I was a bit surprised by AvaddonLFC comment just above about “suggesting better options”.
Quite a few people already mentioned Matrix, so I don’t see what else people could do?
