Most normal people also use Discord on mobile though so that wouldn’t really work, and I’m not aware of a free XMPP server like matrix.org that exists
This sort of fragmentation is the biggest thing I dislike about XMPP. Although Matrix kind of fucked it up also when they switched mobile to Element X
Conversations isn’t a Discord alternative though
The XMPP clients I’ve seen look unusable for large scale messaging, so between the two Matrix
Edit: Actually I need to look into Movin
AI advice is shit, but then I ask people for advice and quickly remember why I started using AI instead
At least they use your data to make a model that’s open weight
Good, maybe people will stop using it and switch to an open-weight Chinese model

And then they immediately got a surge of new users, well played Google
Engaging algorithms is the reason people stay on proprietary services. Fediverse users love to shoot themselves in the foot talking about how algorithms and AI sucks then wonder why people don’t want to switch
Engaging algorithm, no paywall, funding or monetization strategy, viewpoint diversity, and a large amount of people already using it
Draconian punishments and inflicting suffering and death has no place in a functioning society.
Yes, that’s why Trump should get the death penalty
There’s a billion other reasons Trump deserves the death penalty including committing multiple genocides.
I’ve used Signal with Google Voice before installed on separate profiles
I use a Google Pixel 6 Pro with GrapheneOS, Google Voice for probable spam, YouTube, and Google Maps for search. Once the GrapheneOS phone comes out that will probably be my next phone (and fuck Google with their planned obsolescence, makes me not want to buy another Pixel). Google Voice I don’t care but I could switch to another paid JMP.chat number if I need to. YT is difficult to leave (both for content and algorithm) and the Google Maps alternatives suck for searching.
Use a flamethrower, that way you’ll never have to deal with YouTube’s anti-adblock stuff again
I use it a lot for my own projects, and even with the open weight models it usually gets 90-95% there for more trivial things if you know what you’re doing, which GUI development is in the category of, and it has sped up my development. Is also helpful for debugging.
Matrix at least has potential for the UX to improve especially with vibecoding being a thing now, Discord will always be a bloated laggy locked-down Electron mess with no public API and hostility to third party clients and automation tools
No you aren’t missing anything, the UX is actually that dumb
Is there a difference between using this vs OpenCode with search extensions and ollama (or whatever people use nowadays)?
