Hey all, I am an avid BetterDiscord user. I have a OnePlus8t running Namelss13 custom rom (mentioning that for compatibility reasons) and looking for the smoothest, up-to-date, and best experience modified discord app with a sleek looking UI that has plugins & themes

I started out with Aliucord, but they don't seem to have it up to date super often (in terms of new features discord releases). Aside from that and I think having a few niche issues, it was a very smooth experience, they have a plugin repo directly through the app, in addition to themes, but themes also aren't supported on my own rom. Another reason I liked Aliucord was they have the tablet view by default, so the vertical separator is more narrow and space efficient. Their plugin repo selection is a LOT like betterdiscord, so much that it seems like some devs from there have worked on them

I wanted something more up-to-date and fresh looking, so I recently tried out Vendetta. Definitely checked both of those boxes, however, the navigation feels a bit more unresponsive for some reason. They have plugins and themes, but not through a repo - I have to look through their discord plugins channel, and it's sadly not nearly as broad as Aliucord. Vendetta by default doesn't have tablet mode enabled; there is a plugin, but it doesn't work consistently. This app also launches very slow for the initial startup if it wasn't in the background (for me)

Has anyone experienced a client that you would recommend over these two? Or is development not quite there (reaching my own personal expectations, at least), and these are still the best options? Just to note, the apps are well made - I just want more, so I know I'm probably asking for a lot :)

I'm trying to avoid using reddit at all, so trying to bring discussion here. Thanks in advance for suggestions or advice!

That's what I'm going to do I think. I understand the pain from removing comments that have and would have helped people, but reddit will continue to profit off of that information, which they absolutely do not fucking deserve. Those people that were helped, have already been helped. New users seeking information will have to search elsewhere

Something has to be done to the existing data in order to get more people away from the platform, and there is an absolute plethora of information so I don't even think the people doing this will have a large enough impact as we'd like (though, I could be wrong in estimating how many people are rewriting their comments). At least, future content creators have already moved away so a lot of "new" information shared on reddit will be on the decline, or less of an incline

If I've written any guides or posts that are helpful, I will repost it over here and edit the original post on reddit to remove the content and redirect them here which will also inform more people about the fediverse. The people who needed the help have already seen it, and anyone else seeking the information will hopefully be pulled away from reddit and to a better platform. There -has- to be a point at which people move away from reddit for information, so that other places like kbin can grow into a more suitable replacement with just as much, and eventually, more knowledge

Ori and the Blind Forest + Will of the Wisps, hands down

I'm honestly not sure. I know my pickiness is making this really difficult and I might have to comparomise somewhere, but I'm not a fan of the asus chakram design that much. I'm hoping to get away from annoying quirks anyways, so maybe it wouldn't be for me either lol

I think I definitely have more of a relaxed claw, I used to have a suuuuuper bad claw grip but it got slightly better over the years

I use all 3 for a lot of games, so going down to 2 would be tough. It would probably have to have a lot of perks to make up for that

Oh, I forgot to mention that I love heavy mice, at least right now. Maybe because it being heavy makes it feel more premium and so less cheap? So I have a lot of weights put in this mouse

Absolutely fucking glorious!

It makes me so happy seeing reddit come together against this bullshit

Can someone please ELI5 federation to me? I keep seeing threads and comments about this but I don't understand the concept. Does federation essentially just mean connecting all different instances and platforms across the fediverse which is how I can use kbin and see all the content here even if it's from Lemmy?

edit: thanks everyone for the answers :)

Since you touched on a subject I've been torn on, so you will continue using reddit as a source to look up information - what if you have a follow-up question or anything that would be easier to continue discussion on reddit, in order to solve problems? Or will you strictly use reddit to look up information across threads, read comments, and that's the most they'll get?

Eventually, I hope that the fediverse/kbin will have so much more content that I can switch to that instead

There are just sooooo many niche questions and answers that I can find on reddit, and not just 1 person's opinion, but like 10. Literally anything from questions about tinting your cars windows, to birthday ideas for an engineer who loves cars, to christmas ideas for people who have everything already, to how to get yubikey working with oneplus8t, to real study tips for certifications, to that very very specific issue that's crashing your PC but can't figure it out. I want to continue finding information given from people who are genuinely interested in sharing and teaching, not making profits

That's my only gripe bc google sucks ass. Curious to see how you're handling it

This has to be bumped up higher, I think people are still deleting their accounts before making sure their comments are either staying deleted or rewritten!!!

Can you provide a link to the "noise" memo that was leaked? I must've missed it because I haven't heard of this. If it convinced you and was the final straw to delete your account, I'd be interested in seeing it as well

I'm more set on overriding all my comments, but I'm still on the fence about deleting the whole account. At least, once I know with 100% certainty that they won't be reverted back to their original states (if possible)
