Me on the official Mastodon project Discord, having to deal with a hate apologist who thinks that "debating" hate is a good idea, and I'm just

and I'm just

livid? I'm just livid.

@aurynn I just found out the Mastodon project has Discord. So it cannot handle itself?! I mean why don't they communicate here?

Different interfaces are good for different things. The 'verse is a firehose in which urgent and important things are easy to miss. Realtime chat is a better way for server admins to address emergent threats (new instances sending spam or abuse, DDoS attacks, non-consensual archiving of non-Public posts etc).

(Untagging Aurynn intentionally, as she's probably had more than enough of this thread in her @mentions)

@hadilq
It's a shame that Mastodon uses Discord though, instead of a federated chat room on matrix or XMPP. In fact, I reckon @snikket_im would be ideal for this.
