r/Brisbane Discord
Hi all,
Apparently there was an 'official' r/Brisbane discord. This is not the discord I'm talking about: https://discord.gg/bqttnr6Eay
As the sub is blacked out again, could someone please share the link?
Using a centralised platform after leaving a centralised platform because of centralisation?
Are you sure a Discord channel is the right platform? Since everyone is learning about FOSS and federation, why not Matrix? Or XMPP?
we're using discord because of accessibility at the moment. should anything happen further it's something we'll explore but currently most people know and know how to use discord rather than learning new platforms etc.
All good. Just a crazy answer at this point from a personal perspective. Why not just go back to reddit then? I'm not having a go, just wondering where the line is because you will, without a doubt, get into trouble with discord. Some sort of monetisation bullshit, coupled with the selling of all your data.
For me, it's like the people who use Facebook after it was implicated in a genocide, and then almost another one. And the Cambridge Analytica scandal. Like what I assumed most people would do, I drew the line at 1 (one) genocide but others can probably handle a couple to a few genocides? Seems crazy to me that people still use it and Instagram and Whatsapp. It's fucking genocide, people! Like literally the worst thing that can be done and FB just let it happen. Oops.
This is another reason why we federate with ActivityPub.
