One of the things I use Discord for is the Heroic launcher server, mostly for the channel where "Gaming on Linux" news is posted.

They're investigating Fluxer as an alternative. So, I popped over, created an account, muted everything but that one equivalent channel...

... and, hmmm, I'm not sure how ready Fluxer is for this. I mute "until I turn it back on" an entire category and yet still get activity dots for the channels.

And they seem to have somewhat limited keyboard navigation (I'm used Shift+Alt+<up/down arrows> to navigate to "next channel with unread messages").

I did do a quick search to see how good Fluxer might actually be, including things like security response, but didn't come up with much. They have some form of bug bounty program, but looks like the only rewards are "kudos" and maybe some free month of their premium sub.

I wrote some onboarding docs for #Discord people looking to make the switch to #Matrix.

Hey yall, I am looking for a friendly ttrpg forum, preferably with a focus on game design and creation. I don't mind if the community is small, I just like to exchange with fellow creatives. Havent been active in forums in AGES and am completely out of the loop. Any recommendations?

Bonus points for, german-speaking communities, decentralized, federated and/or opensource projects.

die community sollte stabil sein ✊

Thx!

It is useless to build the perfect technological FOSS & private alternative if people aren't culturally and socially predisposed to use it. Think network externalities, peer pressure... but also the influence of capital on people, via marketing and brand associativity.

Don't get me wrong. I'm so very glad places like Mastodon exist. But they are just a foundation. The direct action needs its cultural counterparts. It's Gramscian:
* War of Maneuver is the things you do as a direct affront to the system, physical or otherwise (like licensing your projects under the CNPL or GPL, enacting strict anti -trust legislation, incentivizing cooperatives and decommodification).
* War of Position is how you reorient and predispose people towards more productive outcomes, especially culturally. This is what we LACK.

Get people on Stoat (former Revolt). Campaign for it if you must. Not because it's perfect, no, not at all. It's the onboarding. It's a temporary solution. It gives people breathing room from the failures of Discord and Telegram, and renews their sense of a better future being possible. The better ecosystem will bake in the oven, until we are ready to bring them over. Plant the seeds of a free Internet one step at a time.

This is the human side of the technological operation... like I said, the War of Position.

Franchement #Streamkit c'est bien pratique pour #obs mais ca me gratouillait d'avoir plus de souplesse, du coup j'ai commencé https://gitlab.com/refrac/obs-discord-overlay finalement c'est pas si compliqué.

Mais au fond de moi-même je me dis que #discord est-ce que ça vaut vraiment le coup de se casser le tronc de lui coder des outils, au vu de son destin funeste (déjà que y'avait pas de quoi se vanter de ses dispositions actuelles).
