It somehow manages to be worse than Telegram

Yeah. It's a real shame people here use it, considering how a fair number of us have our Matrix linked to our Hexbear account.

Does Hexbear have a matrix chat server?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (1 children)

yes but it's mainly for mods/devs. I don't think it gets used as a general purpose chat server. I think anyone can request an account but one of the admind has to add you to the channels relevant to you.

There is a public one it's called The Cool Zone

huh was not aware

Not as far as I can tell, maybe make your question a post? Then maybe we could get the ball rolling on making one. The Hexbear mod chat is on Matrix, though.

Matrix also lets you actually search all the rooms. Discord's whole explore feature was repulsive and I avoided eye contact with it the entire time. Almost everything requires a random invite from a dev's twitter or github

[–] [email protected] 13 points 8 months ago

Yeah, Discord doesn't seem like it's properly made for anything besides friends, just on the invite features alone.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 8 months ago

I did not know we can do that. Nice.

I agree especially since I only want to use Discord for like issue reporting for software and mods and shit

[–] [email protected] 6 points 8 months ago

the issue i remember keep coming up is that there still isn't an actually good matrix client that approximates discord's layout. the basic logic of a community being on a "server" with multiple channels people freely swap between , with maybe some voice channels that are compeltely disconnected from the text channels, still isn't actually implemented because matrix still operates on IRC logic where every single channel is supposed to be a community unto itself. element's spaces feature is a very poor substitute, and withotu that basic killer feature i don't see any mass migration happening anytime soon.
