@sturmsucht arguably it's more like chickens holding events at a tyson foods factory.

@sturmsucht Shout out to @dosgameclub for their active IRC channel!

@sturmsucht This! Same with marginalized people on Facebook, Instagram, X, etc.

@sturmsucht I tend to agree but also faced with the fact the alternative suck ...

@sturmsucht Same could be said for Lefty groups supporting BDS but then promoting it on WhatsApp and Facebook

@sturmsucht Yes, very annoying.

@sturmsucht I now see regular companies having support discords. Which feels like a laser tag arena where only suit and tie are allowed

@sturmsucht Discord is one of the platforms i want to go poof. And that is telegram included, since there are also a lot of projects that offer support exclusivley trough telegram. At least discord does not require a phone number (yet).

@sturmsucht Don‘t get me started. The ASWF (Academy Software Foundation, subgroup(?) of Linux Foundation), hosting a ton of OS projects in the realm of image modification, rendering etc. Chat is on Slack, Code is GitHub and Meetings on Zoom. Guess there is more tools me would generally not want to touch. (And and btw. haven‘t signed a CLA so can‘t really collaborate, as they require my home address or me lying about it. From a foundation around OS that needs cookie information. Which is something a serious OS project would not need anyway.)

@sturmsucht it would be better if half of the open source projects werent fascist tech with only "let's keep tech apolitical" as a cover

@sturmsucht 오픈소스 소프트웨어에 디스코드를 사용하지 말라고 요구하는 것은 鞠躬盡瘁死而後已와 같은 경직된 태도이며, 이는 프로젝트 목표 실현에 해롭습니다. https://wildgoose1950.pixnet.net/blog/post/5678890

@sturmsucht The thing is... There can be discord thingies (refuse to call it a server...) that look like they're official, but completely are NOT. The #krita discord place is big, busy and the people managing it do a good job (I think), but it's not affiliated with the Krita project or foundaiton. For Krita users, the place to hang out is krita-artists.org, for developers... Our IRC channel, #krita.

@sturmsucht We are currently in a discussion to get a user group away from there, but what could I recommend? I am not deep enough into Discord but learned that neither IRC nor Signal are considered as appropriate replacement.

@sturmsucht Also if your documentation is on Discord, then your project isn't documented.

@sturmsucht I have this weird Déjà vu of having posted literally this years ago.

@sturmsucht getting adoption for anything else is such a pain unfortunately. Like do you want to have conversations with people about the project or do you want the ideal venue and get a tenth or hundredth of the attendance. I should be more on IRC I suppose. But I haven't had the habit in a couple of decades. First Element room I wanted to join just hung for eternity and never resolved.

@crabmusket @sturmsucht I tried to join the Changelog Zulip when they left Slack.. Maybe if I was more motivated but that app is confusing for a casual relationship..

@sturmsucht we originally started out with IRC but one of our contributors made the convincing case that the discord audience is much bigger, so i decided that we expand to there. and the assertion was correct: the audience *is* bigger. i personally would prefer a p2p clone of discord but apparently we're not there yet. i'm not exactly sure what the holdup is.
