"age verification is because discord hates privacy and for shareholders" is so ass-backwards i can't even

@lain It is good! Because it might lead to people choosing self-hosted open source alernatives instead of centralized corporate solutions with built in surveillance.

@h4890 @lain That has worked so well before. Everyone left Youtube and no one puts videos there any more.

@p @h4890 @lain Let's self-host matrix on a 30 dollar VPS, because synapse, and let it corrupt itself at random :)

@phnt @p @lain This is not so interesting. I am not a fan of the matrix project. If I needed a chat, I'd go with irc which you can run on a raspberry pi at home.

If you need to cater to young people, maybe mattermost might give them that sweet web 3.0 feeling?

Generally though, anything that primarily relies on a web interface is not so good.
