2@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.

Why not IRC?
Because then normies won't talk to you.

@phnt @h4890 @lain If you want normies to leave Discord, you have to target them. If you don't care what they do because they have demonstrated over and over again that they prefer walled gardens to the forest, and so strongly that they prefer walled *sewers* to the forest, and you just want Eric Schmidt to stop coming into your house at night to smell your hair, then you don't have to target them: you just tell them you don't use Discord and you can continue to enjoy IRC.
@Suiseiseki @h4890 @phnt @p @lain I dont really want normies to leave Discord tbh, normies ruin everything they touch

@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.

You want to discuss logical fallacies. You've confused "¬∀(x)P(x)" with "∀(x)¬P(x)". In reality, the negation of the universal is equivalent to "∃(x)¬P(x)". Don't quote logical fallacies at me until you understand logic.
The remark was sarcastic and the implication was that the only people that left Youtube were the people that were banned from Youtube, that is, almost *nobody* actually left Youtube. There has not been some sort of gradual exodus.
> Odyssey has grown enormously.
Please clearly define "growth".
> Young no longer have facebook accounts.
They didn't leave Facebook for fedi. They left Facebook for Tiktok. Find me a child that has an internet connection but doesn't use Youtube.
> I think it is not controversial to think that people will leave discord as well.
They're not going to IRC or even Matrix if they do. But so far, they're not leaving Discord.
Look around here. I still get complaints from people that FSE redirects Discordbot to an image of severed pig heads (long story) and I tell them "Just don't use Discord" and then they tell me their friends are on Discord. People that are on *fedi* haven't all left Discord. A lot of projects no longer have mailing lists: you're supposed to join their Discord "server". That is, people that develop GPL'd software haven't left Discord, and that's a niche that is about as predisposed towards open solutions as you can get.

Shockingly, there have been a good hundred-odd people showing up in matrix-hq over the last couple of days and asking about custom emoji, in the breaths between shitting it up with shitting on discord.
