Bridge set up between Matrix and Discord

Bridge set up between Matrix and Discord - Lemmy.world

We set up a bridge between the Lemmy.world General Matrix room and the Public-1 channel on the Lemmy World discord server yesterday. It’s not perfect as emoji reactions aren’t visible and some minor things like how it handles edited messages but other than that it seems to be working well. Now people on both chat clients can interact with eachother!

Discord should be abandoned as it’s not in the fediverse and especially because it’s not open source. This platform should never be used a an official place for one’s own platform.

When you’re constantly getting attacked and having issues, sometimes you need to do stuff you don’t want to do, just to be able to get stuff done.

In a perfect world I think devs wouldn’t want to use Discord, but it’s one of the only options that won’t be constantly taking down with attacks.

What has Discord anything to do with any attacks, or preventing any of them?

How are they supposed to make announcements if the site is down?.. That was the whole point when there were so many attacks/site outtages.

There is this thing called “a status web page”. Here, check the one for Lemmy.world: lemmy-world.statuspage.io

Those were not working properly at that time of the DDOS attacks. I’m not sure if that’s been fixed now or not tho.
