Comment on Can we please unpin the proprietary off-site/off-network promotion of discord
clueless_stoner@lemmy.world 10 months agoThat’s definitely a scenario, Blaze. If we were to eventually launch a Matrix space or room, it would be with our own team and tools, just like how it is on Discord. And as it took time to develop & set those up for Discord, it would take even more time and effort for Matrix. So pushing for it won’t help you here. I do appreciate your intention though.

Thanks for appreciating the idea.
It’s probably going to be my last message about this topic (I already phrased some of my concerns with Rooki in another comment), but I just would like to repeat that allowing other people to help you could be a good way to leverage help of the community.
IIRC, that’s what happened in the early days of LW, when LW admins and Lemmy devs would work together on fixing the Lemmy codebase, put to a real life workload for the first time.
People in this thread seem eager to push for Matrix, you can either try to canalize their efforts into something productive, and then include it to LW, or just push for a proprietary platform they seem to despise, which will probably make them look somewhere else to build an open source solution.
At the end of the day, the decision if yours, as always in the Fediverse, people are free to come and go.
Anyway, thanks for the discussion, and have a good one!
