Where to now? (plus a minor rant about Discord)

David Pierce: So Where Are We All Supposed to Go Now? Long-term, I’m bullish on “fediverse” apps like Mastodon and Bluesky, because I absolutely believe in the possibility of the social web, a decentralized universe powered by ActivityPub and other open protocols that bring us together without forcing us

@matt I mean Discord isn’t really a replacement for Twitter, though, it’s more of a series of breakout rooms; I’ve had really good experiences in the smaller to medium groups I’m in, but the larger ones are basically like huge Twitch chats, which is to say they’re not worth the time for most people

@wickedgood Agreed, David suggested it as a potential place for Reddit communities to go, not a Twitter thing. 100% with you it’s not a feed like Twitter/Masto.

People seem to dig them so I’m willing to admit there’s *something* there, but it’s always been a pain for me 😔

@matt It’s basically Slack for personal use. When you use it that way, it’s got a lot of the same use cases and pitfalls.
