  Has anybody made a matrix app that looks like a discord clone? Than sounds easier since the federated rich text chat is already made, the current clients don’t really appeal to the discord crowd.

    Cinny is the closest to Discord in terms of UI, it even has a feature where you can show subspaces within a space as if they’re categories of a Discord server.

  We welcome anyone back to IRC

  No we don’t. We need small instances, each with their own specific topics and communities that DO NOT share your information far and wide, like the fediverse does. I don’t think the fediverse model is the way forward.

    But by not sharing anything, you’d loose users who don’t want to sign up for each instance individually. I think it would be a good way to be able to sign up once on one instance and then being able to use all other instances available, but the chats etc of one instance being private to the instance itself.

      True, and then there’s the other side of the coin. Federation exposes you to trolls, nazis, and doxxing.

        Well I guess if you wanted you could just run it defederated? And you could also build in that the instance/guild owner needs to accept joins, I guess?

    Or… how about we just treat the fediverse like it is a…. public forum…. and use different tools for having more private conversations?

  Isn’t there already one? Thought that was what Revolt was

    not federated

    • flashgnash@lemm.ee ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Is open source though, federation can always come later

      That said I’m not sure why they didn’t use matrix from the start

      source

      • anlumo@feddit.de ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        Federation isn’t something that can be added later. This has to be part of the protocol from the start.

  So… Lemmy? Mastodon?

  Although I think Matrix is better suited for chat, just need a client with voice/video support.
