Doxxed.

Mostly to do with the permissions system. I want a hierarchical set of categories and channels, and I want to be able to set one user as a privileged user, and instantly get access to all of those channels, or some of them, depending on the permissions settings. I also want some users to be able to see some channels, but not all, with only a single join action. In discord you join the “server” and you get all channels unless permissions specify otherwise. Then when you get a role, you may be able to instantly see and use several other channels. Some servers let you choose your own roles, and manually give you others, to customize what you can see and interact with.

With matrix there are… permissions. But they can’t be inherited by a room from some sort of category, it’s hard or impossible to automatically hide some rooms from users who join a space, with an option to instantly give them access to those rooms with an easily configurable toggle. Rooms tend to act like their own space sometimes, and each can have their own invite which is annoying. I want them to act as a collection under a single membership, just like you can join a single discord server, and whether or not you see them, all channels are contained in that server and getting access to those channels is a matter of role permissions. I also vaguely remember having trouble with the admin stuff and adding other admins/moderators to my matrix space, but I can’t remember what problems I had with that.

Basically it’s hard to make a large matrix space with many many rooms that have different purposes. Not to mention the lack of forum channels, those are required for my type of large community.

I have a few hundred people in my community. I imagine it’s much worse with larger communities.

Edit: now that I think about it, my moderator team even looked up some of the missing features, and the matrix devs had stated that they are not planned, and that is not the direction they want to take matrix in. Which is fine, but that means it has a completely different use case than something like discord for communities.

I run a large community, it’s not just a matter of asking people to contact me elsewhere. You can’t uproot a community and bring it somewhere else, and I wouldn’t be able to at all because of matrix’s and revolt’s lack of permissions systems, bots, and other things that are unique to discord. I would welcome a viable alternative. I’ve spent many hours trying to make matrix work with the functionality I need, and it’s simply not possible.

As far as the link goes, I’m not sure if those rules mean the links themselves must not contain tracking, or that the website on the other end must not contain tracking. You can have youtube links that themselves have no tracking information in it. You can’t just ban links to any site with tracking, you’d just have nothing you can link to.

Edit: the rule also says “isn’t great”. That’s not the same as “isn’t allowed”. Forcing someone onto a frontend that either doesn’t work for them or is annoying to use I think is worse than letting users redirect themselves using a “tracking filled website” link.

I use LibRedirect. It can handle youtube links and redirect them to a number of frontends. It can also directly open freetube. It’s a firefox extension.

I tried revolt and… It sucks. None of my friends are on revolt. None of my bots work on revolt. Same with matrix. Matrix is horrible for large communities where discord offers inheritable permissions, forum channels, channels that only some users can see, its just not the same use case at all.

Thank you for this post. I was reading by and wouldn’t have understood those comments unless I saw your post.

Oh damn, I was not expecting that.

On the bright side, at least you went to one of the most trustworthy medical institutions there is.

Hint: ::: spoiler spoiler go deeper :::

I don’t even need to know where you left off in the game.

Think of it this way. You’re a seasoned witcher. You know the ins and outs of fighting and of the many monsters and oddities out there. You even spent the time to make the oils.

It’s just the witcher’s learned instinct to apply the relevant oil when fighting a monster. It’s second nature. You don’t even think about it. It’s how it should be, narratively speaking and this is a narrative driven game where you role play as the witcher. It may not allow for min maxing your strategy, but it makes sense and is convenient.

Now, you the player do not always remember to apply it or even do it quickly. But the witcher does. He has the muscle memory down. The witcher is always ready. And you are the witcher.

Please do, it’s so good.

It was the same with divinity original sin 2. The final act was so large, disorganized, and not fun. Like they had a lot of ideas they needed to use but didn’t know where until then, so they threw them all in a big city and called it a day.

My job is also an IT job with big responsibility. Not sure where you got filling grocery store shelves from.

My job didn’t even require a video interview, this unpaid role has more strict requirements than half the jobs in the US haha.

What

This is likely not the best place to get answers for this question.

Some communities don’t need a good discussion forum, they need voice chat with a little text chat. Originally, discord was for gaming groups and it worked amazingly for that. Now, more communities are on it than should be, but its still a good feature set for gaming groups.

It definitely comes off as them demanding someone spell it out instead of using an acronym, but you’re right I should give them the benefit of the doubt.

Well the game is more popular than ever and better than ever! If you want to try it again let me know and we can play together. It’s a ton of fun. Especially with the new salvaging gameplay

If you look closely, you can actually map the letters mp3 to the first letter in each of the words from the phrase metroid prime 3. This is some advanced cryptography so let me know if that’s hard to understand.
