  But this means that the community chat will be in discord. If I want to chat with other members in this community, I need to join discord.

  So it would be better if another option would be advertised

    But normally you didn’t have a direct community chat either. Discord is easily accessible, usable and scalable for that use at the moment, so whoever wants it can use it. In the meantime, there’s absolutely no force keeping you from suggesting better options.

      If volunteers were to setup a Matrix room, would it be possible to add a pinned post with it in a similar way to the Discord one?

      As always, thank you for your work!

        That would interfere with any official matrix set up by our team should we decide to in the future. I appreciate your proposal don’t get me wrong but then others will ask the same for their own ideas/projects and the announcement community is strictly for official Lemmy World announcements.

    Sadly to manage Matrix is more difficult and harder to moderate ( there is no mod bot and developing is a mess )

      I thought github.com/matrix-org/mjolnir was a solution?

  If you’re so upset about out-of-instance interaction, just defederate altogether from all other instances. Turn into Truth Social. Or close the server. Jesus, just take criticism with grace.

    criticism

    Which has no merit at all to begin with, since out-of-instance users do not see the pinned posts of Lemmy.world. He’s right to call out most of you for simply trolling.

      Most of you

      How hateful. I’m a user of this instance and I dislike that stupid pinned message. It’s ok to have a Discord chat, but to have a promotion permanently pinned is a power trip move.

        He’s literally telling you that most of the downvotes are not from lemmy.world (because as an admin you can only see downvotes from your local instance, which means the rest are certainly not from there).

      I should switch back to my lemmy.world account to downvote you in a better way?

      And you not taking the critisism about discords shady data mining and privacy practices seriously makes you look trolling.

    This thread is about unpinning a local thread. Something that does not affect people from another instance at all.

      It pushes people to other instances. It is quite disenfranchising to some. I was here before you by a small margin, and was one of the most active users in promotion of positive community building. You are creating a problem no different than reddit. Matrix is the alternative built into Lemmy. Your resistance to this is why you should not be admin here.

  I have to agree.

    Up next only Linux users allowed on Lemmy

    source

    • clueless_stoner@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Only circlejerk allowed on Lemmy

      source

      • dan@lemmy.fdr8.us ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        As you admins high five and circle jerk each other over your shitty decisions.

  Yup! Its not a forced thing. Where you get “special” news or so. Its just a off site platform where LW can tell whats wrong if the site goes offline.

    Hello,

    Thank you for your work!

    For that specific use case, would it be possible to set-up a Mastodon account posting heads-up about incidents?

    source

    • SheeEttin@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      There are already monitoring sites that provide that info:

      lemmy-world.statuspage.io

      lemmy-status.org/endpoints/_lemmy-world

      source

      • Blaze@discuss.tchncs.de ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        I am well aware of those, but then what type of information is on Discord? Why cannot that just be added in comments to the incidents on the status pages?
