Comment on Can we please unpin the proprietary off-site/off-network promotion of discord

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.

I completely understand, and that’s why I was a bit surprised by AvaddonLFC comment just above about “suggesting better options”.
Quite a few people already mentioned Matrix, so I don’t see what else people could do?

How would you handle brigading, spam attacks, lemmy account verification, and high user traffic on a public Matrix room with little to no customisation? Genuinely curious.

Yeah, there are not a lot of alternatives. We’ll see about matrix but that would mean more work for us too. I’s not that we have anything against matrix really, it’s that discord is what most of us had been using before.
And we have people like @Rooki@lemmy.world writing kickass bots for it.
