I’m know there’s things I haven’t thought of but getting them in is most important.

Call it an incubator flag or whatever. Get them in so they can learn what all this has to offer. As they gain knowledge they can make a choice where they end up.

Presenting a user with a list of instances with weird dorky names is the fastest way to get a normie to delete an app. Unless that’s what you want: a fedi-filter

The average person has Gmail or Apple Mail because that's what their phone had them set up, or (unfortunately) just uses their work email for everything. They're not out there weighing alternatives.

Normies tend to stick with the first email they are signed up for. For a lot of younger Gen Z email is a non factor.

its great that you can explain that, its not at all obvious to people new to the space. email is way more common, too, so IMHO not really comparable.

Hahaha

If someone uploads a photo or video, the server hosts it and sends to everyone.

Expensive

people think anything more than 2cores and 2gb of ram is to much. Plus there is a lightweight 400mb matrix but its ignored.

*You say that as if it were a bad thing.

The problem is that the only one XEP that could allow for a Discord-like UX (XEP-0503: Server-Side Spaces) that, let's admit, is the best one for many (I, in example, prefer that UX over the IRC or plain contacts + MUCs list UX [like, the WhatsApp, Signal, Telegram or most XMPP clients), is only actually used in one client (Movim), and only other one has discussed implementing it (Gajim, that has something like a Client-Side Spaces impl that is really prone to break up), has only done that, discuss it.

And why it's a Discord-like UX better, in my opinion?

Because it allows for more structured, focused and topic-based conversation and discussion. That's why that UX has gotten so popular among not only gamers, but also among students, freelancers, creative groups, or even scientists and companies. It's less prone to become a mess than a plain list where everything is mixed up.

A bare minimum includes: Editing, notifications, 1-1 calls, group calls voip, emoji reactions, discord servers aka matrix space aka fluxer community, mobile app.

Sorry but nothing in the xmpp space gets close. I’m looking for a viable Discord alternative not a gTalk competitor from 10 years ago.

Consider me ignorant but whats the USB-C situation ?

ONE PLUG FOR EVERYTHING.

just hope the plug has the right pinout, and the cable the right capacity.

One thing is that, another thing is centralisation around a rigid and, sometimes, even badly aged standard just because of "you shouldn't create any more standards!".

New standards should absolutely be created because that means that there are more options for different profiles, and also that there will be more chances for the issues on existing standards to be addressed.

I read it more like the new, better standard is never developed because someone used the real xkcd as an argument against making the new standard

Pretty sure it's trying to say these people would have maybe made a better standard, but didn't try because they read the original comic and didn't want to make a 15th shitty standard.

That's like... your opinion, man.

I like the USB-PD standards piling up on top of each other.

What other four thing?
