Will you publish the aggregate results in any way?

[-] creamlike504@jlai.lu 2 points 1 week ago

Yup. And all of these are unfortunately big enough barriers to keep the majority of internet users on the default. Because Discord has a decent phone app and is reliable enough right now.

They are, however, more likely to call the cops to report a "suspicious person" "loitering" around the neighborhood.

Then couch-hunting turns into threading the needle on a law enforcement interaction on eggshells, because maybe the officers who pull up are scared of you and have received more "warrior" training than de-escalation training.

I appreciate this just as an earnest, non-aggro response.

This seems like a great way to get shot if you don't look like the right kind of person.

I don't know about you, but I don't have... any genuses on speed dial in my brain.

I would second thought the fox. I heard their pee smells terrible.

Accurate username

I think the FOSS alternatives are great, but most users still prefer convenience over privacy.

I wish Revolt was federated, so we'd have a(n almost) one-to-one drop-in replacement.

Matrix has group chats and spaces, but there's apparently still issues with moderation, the bridging tech isn't reliable, but I haven't seen anyone successfully use it for voice chat, let alone video.

Mumble is apparently better at voice chat but then you have to also get everyone on the same chat app.

Discord hasn't enshittified enough for people to be willing to switch to less convenient alternatives, and based on how many people still use Twitter, it's going to take a lot.
