Sent messages to all of my Discord friends and told them I'm deleting the app and asked for other methods to contact them and gave them my contact info as well.
Each one of them responded with contact info. They were leaving as well.
Don't let others keep you on a service that doesn't care about you.

(or your matrix chatroom)

in reply to PoLiTiPeT • • •@politipet I put the links where I want and I give them out to whom I want.
What's your point?

in reply to PoLiTiPeT • • •@politipet I put out a couple of posts each week telling people about the chat. Currently there are 58 people who pop in and out but about 10 that are regulars.
I advertise both as needed to different groups.

I haven’t dipped into matrix anything at all. And I think if you’ve ever spoken on that environment, I’d love a link or if you haven’t think of it is a topic idea!

in reply to Jonathan Lamothe • • •@me I was wondering how Mastodon/Fediverse and Matrix.org compare/fit/fight/fare
Technically, Matrix.org is not Fédiverse – not even bridged afaik – although it is federated as well. To me, Matrix is chat/discord/slack, which Masto is "not really" – but could be and sometimes is used for that.

Seems that verification is only required for adult content.
Discord to start requiring face scan or ID to access adult content

in reply to Mr. Funk E. Dude • • •Discord knows who you talk to, what you talk about, has profiled you to the absolute level, fingerprinted your devices and probably a lot of other nasty stuff BUT the boiling point for you is the ID verification??
I knew discord users were absolutely braindead but now I know how braindead they are.

in reply to Kinene⭐🐻 • • •@c_merriweather Honestly, I don't think there is a direct 1 to 1 replacement. You can find chat's that have some of the features, but no one has all of them.
I prefer Matrix.org because that's what I have the most experience in. It lacks good admin tools and there can be an on-boarding difficulty for some, but mostly it does the job that I need it to.
Of course your mileage may vary.

Although it isn't really a space with chat rooms and such, you could set up a vdo.ninja room. You can save how everyone's video displays and no one even has to sign up for anything. It's all just URL's. You could easily set up multiple video feeds and switch between them if you have different maps or images to show .

I already went scorched-earth on my Facebook account, and honestly have paid the price in isolation as a result. I'm not doing that twice. Sometimes spite and principles only carry you so far.
I have, at the least, cancelled my payments to Discord.
