I mean when even matrix biggest advocate lashman didnt join I dont think matrix is a viable alternative to discord, so the search continues

Honestly, I've used matrix in a professional capacity for about a year now and it's actually very good as far as these things go.

The only other alternative I've tried (that is an actual alternative, i.e. you can self-host it) is Rocket Chat, and it's way worse on pretty much every level.

Just played the tutorial and my first run, and i can tell this is going to be THE GOATED Roguelike since Slay the Spire.
2500 Episodes of Northernlion LP's incoming.

Also, entirely unexpected but the Soundtrack is incredible, like holy shit, almost feels like a Super Giant game.

Yeah you are right the music is fantastic!

Yeah from what Ive seen it seems pretty nice! I was mostly just reflecting on that there seemed to be zero interest in having a MC matrix

so how many months before consoles and steam are also asking for real id?

i don't have anything to nice to say about the state of society that led us here without sounding like a really toxic asshole. but man i really hate that modern society is built around coddling the stupid and lazy among us.

It's inevitable that Steam will ask for my ID to prove I'm over 18 when my account is 20 years old

With all the Discord fuckery happening, Im curious if Valve plans to do something, give people an alternative.

Steam Chat could absolutely replace Discord if folks actually wanted it. It is crazy how Discord-like it has quietly become over the years. It just needs a few tweaks and it would cover the majority of what folks use Discord for.

That said, I never see it happening as I think Steam missed the window.

And if it somehow did happen, Valve would be pressured to follow suit like Discord at some point sooner rather than later.

After two years of creating characters in Diablo 4, getting distracted by real world stuff, and then restarting with new characters to refresh my memory of the story, I finally beat the main campaign and working through the first expansion. I should be done with the expansion story before the next season and expansion launches. It's really fun and the world is big.

Valve does not want Steam to be known as a groomer platform and have even more regulator eyes on it. They'll be perfectly happy with Steam's barebones chat features.

Yeah I’m sure Valve has the talent to pretty easily match Discord’s features but I have my doubts they want to.

Deck will be back in stock eventually. When the AI bubble bursts.

So ... never.

But seriously, I could see this shit being propped up, to the point that even governments spend absurd amounts of money to keep it going for as long as it can. It's crazy how this shit has gone on for as long a it already did, and while a few companies are clearly feeling the heat, I don't think we will see a correction that's big enough to change the hardware situation. All the money will just go the few that are left in the race, until it's literally just one.

And getting boycotted by Era because a tiny amount of the voice cast is problematic in a game that was developed over 14 years.

While simultaneously shouting about a reviewbombing campaign with a massive 4 racist reviews in relooted.
Yes, the Forum is overrun by racists on relooted, nonetheless, 4 out of 11 negative reviews for a 78% positive score does not constitute a review bombing campaign.

Talking about alternatives to discord seems somewhat pointless to me because the scale has been tipped. It's not a matter of preference for discord, it's that we reached the tipping point where enough territories are legislating it now. Whatever comes next will be subject to the same laws. The whole internet will soon enough, wheresoever people will gather and checked against whatever your local government deems mature/adult. And some governments will no doubt also wield it against whatever they deem """"problematic."""

Seems a bit too late to me. We've entered the Netwatch age but without any of the other cool cyberpunk goodies to make it feel less shitty.

In the current hellscape of the zombie bot internet
having a database with the real identities of people that are not bots, is a gold mine.
Advertising, scams, fraud, targeted marketing, and even research is so much more efficient if you can be reasonably sure that the database you have includes a majority of real data of real people.
