@coolboymew@lanodan I think the problem comes down to social things; Discord users can't migrate away because no one else will, so they'll be the only one on, say, Matrix. GitHub users can't migrate away because would-be contributors, or even those just wanting to report an issue, would have to migrate as well and create yet another account. While in some cases it'd be more convenient to set up an IRC channel and pre-configure a Kiwi IRC instance, it for some reason doesn't matter to everyone. And no one wants to work around these issues by bridging, creating an email system, a web app, so on. The few who do are the technologically savvy ones.
@sun_eater@nishi@lamp I noticed some messing around with both of them earlier with lamp saying something about Hong Meiling being the "least cute touhou character" and Nishi responding with "blocked" and that was it (from my perspective). and it escalated to this, for some reason unknown to me. and the whole MAP thing isn't entirely unexpected, seeing who interacts with them.
@Pawlicker@hj@coolboymew I don't find offense in newcomers flocking to mastodon.social, mastodon.online or mstdn.social, maybe because that's what I first did in 2021, but yeah, some guidance to newcomers definitely should be useful, and someone somewhere to recommend them instances can also be useful. (but then, who will bother?)
@Pawlicker@hj@coolboymew the problem for those who want an escape from Twix is, where to? the Fediverse is an option, but one that can be frankly confusing to newcomers (unless they're genuine idiots, in which case yeah they'll stay on Twitter). Bluesky, well, you have first-hand experience why it sucks. Nostr, I forgot about its existence. Instagram Threads, the Star Wars opening crawl of a ToS/PP says enough.
@EricZhang456@splitshockvirus why exactly wouldn't be? we aren't restricting ourselves on what we can and can't say, and we aren't going out of our way to force our irrelevant thoughts in the faces of everyone else.
I'm a human being, doing dumb fiddling with computers and playing games.I also listen to music too much, am a Linux (and general tech) nerd, maybe a weeb and sometimes unsure as to what I am.Any kind of professionalism can go out the window. this is a warning and a promise.I speak mainly English, but occasionally may post in Canadian French (Québec)
