A lemmy community for bugs woud be very hard to keep track of. Discord allows segmented, real time conversations which is simply better.
A matrix chat would be more optimal then.
Not everything has to be decentralized or federeted
I agree that not everything has to be decentralized, but why not replace Discord with Matrix given hew mature and nice Matrix is? IMO, this is one of those things that should be decentralized.
We've been using Discord for 3 or 4 years now, he has a community built there
How about we bridge the channels across to rooms on Matrix? That could work.
Why when Discord works great?
Yeah it should. Also Discord is a plague. Though tbh Element is still years behind Discord which is unfortunate.
Agreed. If we want to move away from Reddit, why not move away from Discord too?
Why move away from discord lol? It's not like people just moved from reddit for fun. Most people moved from reddit because of the way the company handled API changes. Discord doesn't have the same issue.
Yes, yes it does. Both Reddit and Discord don't allow 3rd party clients. It's just that Discord never allowed any in the beginning. The arguments of a centralized content silo applies to Discord too.
Neither are people moving away from Discord for fun.
By the way, read the edit on my parent comment.
Yes. It also never needed third party apps because it works well, has good accessibility features, etc... while reddit doesn't. I honestly don't think that third party apps are a necessity most of the time. Reddit is just a relatively unique platform where they had a thriving third party scene and took them away without any intention to add the features that the official app lacked.
