Don’t we already have a Matrix Channel for that? Even if they wanted a lemmy.world specific Space it’s still Far better than proprietary Discord. I mean isn’t it already encouraged to link Matrix for secure messaging, why not just use a Space on Matrix for lemmy.world support and communication.
Comment on Can we please unpin the proprietary off-site/off-network promotion of discord
Jaded@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 months agoIt’s so there admins can communicate when the server is down. Would you rather they use Twitter?

Why not use IRC in that case, like normal Internet persons?

Because it needs to be DDOS-resistant and be able to handle at least 128k users. Otherwise it’s not a fallback in case lemmy.world is targeted again. There are groups who hate LW and want to take it down, if they know that their alternative communication channel is also some other self-hosted service they’re going to target that one too.
