If any furries need a hand I can tick the box for you, I know its too small for many of your paws and some of you with smaller paws may not want to lie to the kind machine keeping the community safer.

matrix is much better than discord IMO

These two things just aren't directly comparable. You need an application to use Matrix, and there are only a handful that support all the features and of them, only a couple are stable and of those, none of them have a good (or any) UX for onboarding or administration or for channels with a large membership.

Element is the poster app for Matrix, but its clearly made by and for the people who design the protocol. Why do channels get an unread indicator when someone changes their name? Why must I see every time a user joins or leaves a room with no setting to turn it off for large rooms? Why can't I turn off unread indicators for a room I really don't care about constantly staying up to date on? How does the app even allow people to sign in without verifying their device cryptographically, so the app can announce to everyone else that they are an incomplete user? I can go on and on. I'm really liking Sable so far as an alternative, but it is constantly breaking and still suffers from some of the same issues as they're just bound to the protocol.

I use these apps, I like them, but if they're better than Discord to you then I'm happy, but you're an edge case.

Sorry, you didn't deserve this rant. Please forgive me. I hope fluxer (and matrix of course) does well and I am interested in how polyproto ends up working for it.

the nation could be left in the dust.

wdym amazon, we already are. Have you seen the cost of living when compared to wages? Data centers won't help that.

Lotta people seem to think its not theft of some sort to skip the payment part of the agreement (the ads) to consume their media.

Using that app kinda makes browsing suck. I'd never gotten captchas from google themselves until I used it, then I got them frequently.

It does good work though.

You're telling me they stuffed a bird in there?

I worry a lot if I'm coming across like this to my trans friends. Its really hard to fight the urge to try and "help" when I see those I care about in deep distress. I worry about them a lot.

Can I just play my 3DS while the group plays, just to be there? Not a fan of board games but I don't wanna miss out, ya know?

I'm aware of me and 3 friends entering. One gets to order soon, other 3 are on waitlist.

Has anyone sent word to digital ocean about why people would be upset about their funding decision? Might be best not to immediately attribute to malice what could be attributed to not knowing.

That's certainly some pretty aggressive language.
