@meso@iska i genuinely don't get how do people even see anything good in discord like for fuck's sake there's just better alternatives you just have to look slightly deeper than surface level
@waifu@lina@iska@meso It gets worse when some project decides to host the content or links to content behind the discord wall. But thanks to RKN, at least in Russia we now have a decent chance to promote self-hosting with Matrix.
@lina@meso@iska It has decent implementation and design and for the longest time had quite off-handed moderation. Somewhere around deletion of 4chan server it went strictly downhill.
@iamtakingiteasy@iska@meso yea i guess on the moderation i'll agree, it used to be less anal moderation, or maybe just more people decided its funny to report people they don't like
@iamtakingiteasy@waifu@iska@meso the best part here is that it can also remind people of xmpp, maybe some oldfags will feel nostalgic about icq and qip and miranda :ryukoblink:
@irie@iska@meso i personally got my account banned from the servers i used to frequent then i just ditched it after i got bored ofc a dude pretty much persuaded me to reinstall it just to troll some faggot, then after i had my fun i stopped using it again
@meso@iska@iamtakingiteasy@waifu yea but they'll have far less reach if we're talking hostile propaganda wise because only the most desperate will go on matrix to trashtalk the state, same way you have the most desperate trashtalking the state on fedi
@PurpCat@iska@iamtakingiteasy@waifu@meso@jihadjimmy in a society that shuns bullying freaks and protects them from it actively obviously stirring the wasp nests like that is self destructive for niche communities and hobbies
None of the people here genuinely have any idea how fucking broken VRChat addicts are. They're mentally broken people IRL who have no friends, so they cope with it by being in the presence of other internet weirdos who affirm their fake identity, fueled by jannies who ban any zoomer who doesn't or who uses crashers. No joke, VRC is as bad as SL was back in the day or on the level of Discords, you will literally get banned from worlds for not having an aged account because the zoomers having fun online get jannied before they get to that level.
@jihadjimmy@iska@iamtakingiteasy@lina@waifu@meso the whole Tumblr porn ban is a textbook example of this: they shat up every goddamn place online while being unable to build their own (pillowfort, cohost, numerous Mastodon instances, etc.).
These same people also can only exist when given a specific environment to, and when pushovers tolerate it. The second someone who wants this culture imposed on everyone cannot be given a hugbox, they run like rats back to Discord where they can feel like an online king.
Just look at VRC as an example. You will find some of the biggest society rejects there because they can be kings online in their hugbox. https://archive.fo/wBiKf
Do you know what the problem is? These people are not normal, they're cattle bred and grown in these proprietary shitholes, they invade cool spaces and turn them into degenerate happy-horseshit soulless NPC cesspools, see the entirety of Mastodon as one of the biggest examples.
When mainstream proprietary platforms get banned, you get cattles of retards invading your nice corner and imposing their dogshit, deluded and proprietary-brained policies and behavior onto your community.
@PurpCat can testify to this as one such degenerate furfag retard tried to slide into one of his MUCs and start imposing Discord toxic culture onto everyone until he managed to piss off every active person in there and everyone bullied him away from it.
@lina@iska@iamtakingiteasy@waifu@meso@jihadjimmy VRC is literally two groups: the freaks shielded by the system, and the feral zoomers shouting NIGGERNIGGERNIGGER with a crasher avatar or avatar that's literally just a giant porn image as a troon mod tries to ban them from VRChat K-Mart.
@PurpCat@iska@iamtakingiteasy@waifu@meso@jihadjimmy i don't see the fun in saying niggerniggernigger on vrchat if you can get banned easier than if you post :danielstevens: at daniel stevens of ontario, canada
@PurpCat@iska@iamtakingiteasy@waifu@meso@jihadjimmy i couldn't care less about living in walls though, i just enjoy seeing dumbasses clearly try their hardest to put on an aura of indifference and superiority despite their actions betraying their image completely
