I think it’s hurting them that it says “join the beta”. To me, that means being put on a waitinglist and hoping to be picked. Better wording would’ve been “Join us (in beta)” or simply “join us”. Only now did I click on it and found out that I had to download a raw apk. Which brings me to the next point: it’s only on the iOS App Store. The majority of phone users on the planet (overwhelmingly so) are Android users. Why target the minority first? And why provide the majority with a link to a file that requires extra actions? It should be on the Google Store and on F-Droid first, then the App Store.

Anyway, I’m not the target audience, nor am I a programmer, so I’m grateful that somebody is putting in the work. Hopefully they can convince enough people to join and get off of closed-source platforms!

Is it ready? It’s been promised for a year or so now and was only available available by some signup list.

Fuck Google. Can’t we fork their shit? Let them close their platform while we keep it open.

Not a movie but a youtube playlist: The Alt-Right Playbook

That’s good, because that wasn’t what I was suggesting 🫰

If you spend money on games they are trying to boycott and take attention away from, I don’t think they’ll cackle. Especially if many people do it. Then their lists will achieve exactly the opposite of what they want to achieve.

Maybe I should make an “anti-woke” list and say the racist games are woke, just to mess with them.

It’s not about given them attention, but the games they are boycotting.

You can do that too. For me, it would fulfill two functions: give a review for a game with my honest opinion, and help make the “anti-woke” lists a double edged sword for the bigots: if you make a public list, it may also be used by the “woke” to support their games.

Yeah, woke. Oops.

I’m not suggesting “buy every game on this list” but to use it as a means to discover games. There are probably good games on there which get undue hate from the curator’s followers and are not very well know. The followers do try and review bomb the games, so they don’t bubble up to the top naturally.

No wonder the world consumes 3.5 earths a year. It’s all the fucking yanks ramming food down their gullets.

42 libraries per year is still insane.

I don’t know why @[email protected] said “it’s nowhere near discord”. The Element client supports voice and video rooms and certain servers have extensions installed for custom emojis. I don’t know what else Discord does that’s special. “Servers” in Discord are “Spaces” in Matrix. Spaces can have rooms.

The major difference I find are the moderation tools in Matrix. They have to be installed by the server admin and can’t be activated per room by the room admins or mods.

I think the “it’s not free” is related to discord since there is a paid discord. But the sentence is quite confusing.

There are European hosts, but I admit, I’m not a techie. That’s why I pay others to host and manage my stuff.

Luckily, there are alternatives.

Use Matrix. It has E2E encryption.

I wonder if they’d allow a game called “Muhammed vs IDF” and Muhammed would scream “Allahu Akbar” while killing the soldiers.

They aren’t educated. Simple as that. Many can’t even find their own country on the map, let alone tell which continent it is on. Forget history.
