Is this a joke?
Holy shit you right. Its convenience I guess for newbies. But yeah thats really bad for privacy.
I mean, you can banish it to a browser, a dedicated even if you really wanted to. Matrix is not exactly the most beginner friendly thing tbh
Matrix I feel is one of the better os for newbies You just send them towards element.io. Or at least that’s what I did with my friend, when I wanted them to switch
matrix through Element is as user-friendly as discord 🤷
I haven’t tried Matrix but I wouldn’t call Discord user friendly either 🤪
No, it’s not.
Even for tech savy people the security settings (i.e. cross-signing and backups) are confusing and Element points you straight towards them, without sufficient explanations.
Element is (impressively enough) also much more buggy than Discord.
I find it actually pretty straightforward for a non-technical person. The default settings all work fine. The more complicated stuff is relatively buried.
Newbies don’t need that when starting, and at least they will have a solid ground to work with.
Is it, though? It’s intended to be a public forum either way. As the MPAA and RIAA should have learned, you can’t really keep a public secret.
Using Discord just makes that transparent. You’re absolutely being spied on, instead of jumping through a bunch of hoops to give yourselves false confidence that you’re not being spied on.
Sure. It’s an easy gotcha. But if you consider it a bit more it makes sense.
atleast use guilded
A chat program owned by Roblox Corporation is not my idea of trustworthy.
i personally trust Roblox
The well known child exploiting corporation?
Why?
It should be matrix. I doubt anyone who really understands would be using discord. It was probably just copied from the reddit one.
Came here to say this 👆 It’s really not hard to get started or use, folks just drag their feet on it for some reason.
Change is annoying, folk don’t like having multiple platforms to talk with. A network is only as strong as the number of participants in ot, and discord has won that by a long shot. I’d love to see Matrox grow myself.
When I started using Matrix I definitely thought “wtf is this”, but after 5 minutes and when I got invited to channels it all makes sense. Much prefer the privacy focused matrix
Should be only certified letters
Can’t even trust owls, can’t trust those blokes.
Anything that can turn it’s head that far should never be trusted. Shifty bastards.
Certified? So they collect signatures? No thanks
Not sure those even that secure.
Count me out. Let me know when you revive the chat room on Matrix.
Security experts are not on discord. Sounds like a honeypot.
Could somebody just create a Matrix group/channel/room/space already?
There are plenty already, why not a joint?
More solidarity/less division would be nice but it doesn’t mean that some individuals wouldn’t need to prove themselves to the tasks.Removed by mod

Well, one thing I’ve done is block this community+you and not waste my time.
So have fun with that.
it does sound like a joke

Matrix is a great discord-like experience. From my experience it’s got different channels, direct messing and a focus it seems on privacy which is nice. Compared to discord that doesn’t even support end to end encryption

You say that, but I see no evidence that Lemmy is a good place for privacy either, yet here you are. I know upvotes and down votes are public and I know that your post are freely shared and stored across the fediverse.
I don’t mean this in a sort of “gotcha” way, but why shouldn’t those things be public on this sort of platform? That seems like the bare minimum for a community to prosper
I don’t mind if they are or aren’t either way, but it doesn’t make sense to tear down discord for essentially the same thing if you’re ok with Lemmy doing it. Whether they should or shouldn’t is another question. Also, it’s possible for my upvotes and down votes to be collected but hidden much like it is on reddit.
People can see who down votes their comments? Or servers/instances have the ability to know?
Everyone can see votes. On the bottom of a comment or post beside boost is more, you hit more and a menu opens, you hit activity on that menu and you see all interactions with that comment or post with usernames attached.
Fwiw, this isn’t a thing on Lemmy. Not that it’s not available given enough effort, but it’s not programmed to be immediately available to everyone.
Also, it’s possible for my upvotes and down votes to be collected but hidden much like it is on reddit.
That’s true for one single instance. But I’d think it’d be harder for your non home instances to track your votes without them being exposed in some way. Right?
Nah, every instance knows who up/down voted any post, reddit knew this data too but now anyone can spin up an instance to get it.
Which is kind of mandatory for how they’ve designed Lemmy. If you share upvotes between instances, then you’ve gotta provide sources. Otherwise it’s too easy for one instance to manipulate all the others.
You could not share upvotes between instances, but that would really damage small instances. Imagine going to a small instance and instead of the Reddit front page you get the Reddit new page.
I’ll take “what’s a public forum” for 50!
yeah no shit it is a public forum
privacy communities are a joke. dont trust any of them
They always glow af
Revolt is supposed to be a privacy-focused alternative to Discord. Haven’t used it myself. Is it promising? Will it ever gain traction?
Never knew there is one. Where is I mentioned?
Jeeze! Even I have a discord to matrix bridge and my entire community is like 20 people, I think 2 of us use matrix.
